EASTER

We had a great Easter Sunday at our house.  We started our day early and ended it late.

Connor woke up to a basket full of goodies.  

He had a great Easter egg hunt at his Oma's house.

After dinner we had quite the baseball game going on.  

Love this picture of Connor and his Dad! 

LAST MINUTE EASTER IDEAS

 Easter weekend has snuck up quickly.  Here are some fun last minute Easter ideas from Martha Stewart.  

We've been roasting marshmallows on the fire pit tonight and are getting up early for Easter egg hunts in the morning.  I'll be sure to post pictures soon!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 

FOUR WHEELING

Connor has a friend named Redd who lives next door.  We are happy he has a playmate so close.
These boys are usually pretty funny when they get together. They both love football and four wheeling!

HOMES AND BABIES

I'm sure most of you have heard the saying 

"We may have a small home, but God knows where we live"

I love small homes, and I love small homes filled with happy people.  

I have always said, I could easily have three children in my house and people look at me like I'm crazy!  

Well... I am a crazy, but today I figured out how to make it work.

Really, what child wouldn't love this bedroom?

Lately I'm feeling like the problem isn't so much fitting three children in the home, as it is getting three children to our home.

People say to me all the time, why don't you worry about getting a larger home and then worry about more children.  And they think I'm crazy.  I'd pick babies over a house any day!

George Banks said it best, "I love this house.  I love that I taught my kids to ride their bikes in the driveway.  I love that I slept with them in tents in the backyard.  I love that we carved our initials in the tree out front.  This house is warm in the winter, cool in the summer and looks spectacular with Christmas lights.  It's a great house.  I never want to move.  But the thing I think I like best about this house are the voices I hear when I walk through the door."
If you don't know who George Banks is, think Father of the Bride. 
I admit their big white house might be my ultimate dream home.

CURLY HAIRED BOY

This video is too funny of Connor shaking his curls!

SPRING

My adorable friend made me this darling frame for Easter!

Isn't she so talented?  

I feel extra blessed lately to have such great friends and neighbors!  

Thanks friend for thinking of me.

Last year I really wanted a small foiled Santa at Christmas and couldn't find one that was a reasonable price, so when Justin found these cute bunnies on clearance last year after

 Easter he picked them up for me.  I've been waiting all year to put them out.

****warning this post is about to get pretty sappy****

As I've been reflecting on the wonderful people in my life, how could I leave out my wonderful Justin?

There couldn't be a better husband in this world for me.  He's patient and kind.   He doesn't lose his temper and when I lose mine (which I do maybe more than I should) he just smiles gives me a kiss and says "love you". 

 Not once has he ever called in sick to work.  

He is the hardest worker I know.  Many days he is up by 4am  to provide for our family and I've never once heard him complain.  He is an amazing father and husband and Connor and I love him so much!
