We Love Easter!

 Remember how I said we love visitors? Well, guess who came for Easter!? Aunt Aubrey!!! We didn't do too much, but we DID have an awesome weekend.

Easter happened to fall on Ty's birthday this year, but we did most of the celebrating on Saturday.

 These two are hilarious. And my favorites.

 Egg Hunt

Back in St. George, my family has a big Easter weekend reunion/celebration. I am always sad to miss, so I throw an Easter Party when I can. This year we threw it a few weeks early, and it was a big success.

 The kids all made out like bandits and had a great time.

And don't forget our "Peep's Show!" Ours was supposed to be Moana, but our overachiever attendees made theirs ahead of time and beat ours by far. Really far.

Happy Birthday Ty!

I can't believe I have a big 5 year old!  Ty wanted a Transformers party, but I hadn't been feeling well (pregnancy), so I managed to talk him into a low key party. It just so happened that April 15th was the Rome Braves' opening day and they even had fireworks after the game! We ate cake and ice cream with Ty's friend Emmanuel from church, then headed to the stadium.

Lucy and I took little ice cream cups to Ty's preschool class.

More Visitors

We love having visitors, and it was so fun that Grandpa Tom and Grandma Sheila were able to come out from Utah! Their trip involved lots of hikes, walks, and FOOD! Starting with the Honeymoon Bakery.

Next up was a visit to Berry Campus, a hike up to the lake from the Old Mill, and a tour of Oak Hill, Martha Berry's home. It was my first time there, too, and the tour was LONG, but the grounds were very nice. It is also the home in Sweet Home Alabama, one of my favorite movies!

Grandma and Grandpa came during Conference Weekend, so we headed up to the cabin to relax, hike, and listen.

We also headed to Chattanooga for the Children's Discovery Museum, where the kids had a blast!

 I just love my two kids.

 Lucy in all of her silly personality.

 

 1. Loving Ramen Noodles (about all I could stomach at this stage of pregnancy) 2. Comforting a sick/pregnant mommy 3. Pink rainboots, undies, and shirt 4. St Patricks Day 5. More undies?? 6. Wearing her "Roscoe and Rosie" shirt with the real Roscoe and Rosie (turtles) at the YMCA!

Visits

 We loved having family visit for Lucy's birthday. Here are some of our adventures, starting with Aunt Aubrey at Honeymoon Bakery.

Next, we took her to the Old Mill at Berry College. Where there's water, Tim and Ty are always happy to play.

 Grandma Diney and Grandpa Rod took the kids up to the cabin...their favorite thing. Ever.

Shenanigans. 

Lucy is Two!

Happy second to my sweet little Lucy Belle! We went to Panera on her actual birthday (above), and threw a wonderful Minnie Mouse Party a few days later with Grandma and Grandpa Larsen, Great Grandma Larsen, Aubrey, and Lucy's friend Ella. 

We had some fun food including "Hot Diggety Dogs" and "Chip 'n Dale Chips!"

 The mouse ears from Disney World came in quite handy once again. 

 Presents and toys

We were so happy Grandma Larsen could join us! Lucy did a thorough check up with her doctor kit, and shared some other presents as well.

 Don't forget the cake!

And cookies!

 It's always a good day when Aunt Aubrey is here.

Apparently, Lucy also held a private party in her bed that night...

Playing with presents the next day.
