Simple Easter Pleasures…

An Easter Egg Hunt, followed by Family & Food.

May everyone have a Happy Easter full of simple pleasures.

The Beginning of Our Fun Filled Weekend…

Day One… tumble on Gramma’s bed watching a quiet movie while sissy is napping. Lots of Lego lovin’. A trip to Mickey D’s for some Ckn nuggets and a little tunnel fun. Home for a play in the tub… jammies and watching “Monsters Vs. Aliens” with Grampa. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Gid's Stair Racer...

Gid's a crazy little kid.
Uncle Zachary made this for him.
He thinks it's the best thing ever!!!
Fun was had by all!

Doesn't get much better than this...

Me on a quilt, basking in the sunshine, with all my babies... can't ask for more.
ps... I snatched this picture from Misty here.

Lovin' Me Some Ashe and Gid Time...

I couldn't get Ashelyn to look at me... but look at my sweet Gideon... overlook the drool on his shirt. Oh, and check out miss things new duds. It fit her perfecto... Hopefully Misty can get a picture that shows her off a little better... she was kinda in a mood when we snapped this picture. I love seeing my sweet babies. I'm always so happy when Jake and Misty come over for dinner after church on Sundays. GOOD TIMES!

For Gideon...

There once was a boy name Gideon.

Who came from the Isle of Meridian.
He really was spry,
and thought he could fly.
Tho you might debate,
man he could skate,
with never a tear or a cry.

I need a new picture of my little man skating... hint, hint Mommy.

What can I say???

Gideon is such a hoot!
His favorite past time is jumping...
and fear... what's that?
He has NO FEAR!

Getting ready to jump again... boy does he love it.

Had to throw this one it... she's just so dang cute!

I just had to point out his shirt...
My Mom can kick harder than you...
This made me giggle...

Forgot to add this...

Gid was not too sure about this.
If you look carefully in the background,
You'll see me pushing him down the slide.
Poor little man, we just wanted him to have fun.
He thought it was great as long as he was
watching from the other side of the glass.

Cheese!!!!

Too cute, too cute... G'ma Loves her B'babies!

Spring has Sprung...

Does is get any better than this? I don't think so.

She is such a silly little miss. She wasn't sure
whether to smell the flower or eat it.

Now Gid is all man.
He was all about climbing on the wood pile.

Can you resist this sweet face?
I know I can't.

Easter with the Fam...

I Love when the family gets together... we're smaller in numbers than on past occasions because not everyone was able to be here, but we still had a great time visiting with everyone. We sure missed having Dad and Phyllis with us... we'll see them in a couple of weeks. Uncle David and Lynn (in the Center shot) and Brad and Miranda joined us for an afternoon of eats and visiting. Loved seeing everyone.

We thought we'd try to snap a few shots of the little ones in their Easter finery... they looked so sweet... it kinda looks like Ashelyn is getting ready to meditate.... ohmmmmm

I loved this shot of Ashe and Gid on the hammock... I wish the shadows weren't in the shot... but loved it any way.... ps... don't you LOVE Ashelyn's curls?

Mr. Man is Full of Fun!

And she's off... Boy it sure is hard to catch this little girl sitting still... and do you see that honery little gleam in her eye?

Kinda a cute shot, even tho they're totally looking in different directions.

Mr. Man off to Work.

This is another sweet one of our two little munchkins... We sure do love them.

Happy Easter Everyone!!! We love you.

Easter Babies...

So Misty, Gideon and Ashelyn came to visit grandma at work today. A visitor came and joined in the fun. Gid and Ashe weren't sure what to think, but they warmed up a little when gifts were offered... fun, fun.

Lovin' Me Some G'Baby Time...

So Misty and the sweet babies came by for a visit between conference sessions today! We sure missed them while they were out in Utah visiting. It was only a week, but I'm tellin' you it seemed like forever! They are such a joy and give the sweetest hugs and kisses. Love, Love, Love my babies and my sweet Misty for just being her. What a good mommy she is. Little Miss Ashe is getting to be such a big girl and just look at our handsome Gidman... good times.

My Sweet Little Ones...

Lovin' my sweet little ones and they were lovin' being outside... well at least most of the time. What a beautiful evening for enjoying the outdoors.

Everything started out so nice until Gid decided he needed to ride... funny little man... gotta love 'em.

Gideon's War Paint...

So the story is Gideon loved his war paint. He just didn't want to stop to have his picture taken. Poor little man looks like he's been beat... he looks so dang sad. His Uncle Zach of course is the one who painted Gid with the lipstick. Crazy boys.

Little Wii Anyone???

So Grandpa was flyin' on the Wii... Gideon plopped down next to him and joined right in. You can tell he was really in to it. Funny little man.

It's All About the Drums...

Our Little Drummer Boy

Gid was seriously thrilled with his drums.
He sure is enjoying them and we loved watching him.

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby!!!

So the Gidster is officially two years old today.
Can you believe it?
It doesn't seem possible.
Grandma and Grandpa love you to pieces.
Have a super great day!

Christmas Joy!!!

What could be better???

Christmas with our sweet little ones and being surrounded by family and freinds tops my list.
I sure hope everyone's Christmas was merry and bright.

I don't think Gideon could have been
any more excited.
He kept coming back to his drum set... it was so fun to watch.

My Cute Ones... Oh and My Tree

Lovin' my Gidster... he is such a sweetie and so good with the Christmas Village and Nativity. You can tell he really, really wants to touch it... but he just points and says "Wow!"... funny little man.

Woo Whoooo!!! Ashelyn finally fits in her little crazy pink coat I bought her before she was born. Boy I sure am glad she really was a girl. I saw this coat and just knew she would look like a Rock Star in it... She proved me right.

My matchy, matchy Christmas Tree and Gifts.
