School Egg Hunts

The Thursday before Easter, Noah, Jack, and Emorie had egg hunts at school with their classes. I was able to get to all 3 for at least a little bit and grab some pictures. They really enjoyed it since we didn't make it to the church hunt this year.

Ei, Ei, OOPS!

Michal Kate had her 1st grade music program on Tuesday, April 19. I suffered a crazy injury at th play so it has taken some time to get things posted. Michal Kate played Mrs. Farmer In the Dell and did an amazing job. She knew her lines and performed them flawlessly with such confidence! Thank to Gramma she was adorable in her costume and she was so proud of it!

Look who's 2!

Well, I can't believe it but she really is two. The evening of her birthday we had church so before we went we let her open her gifts. We are also waiting until we get to Ponca City to finish her birthday with something to play with outside.

The Birthday Girl


She got a tea set and loved having a tea party with her brothers!

Eme

Emorie, I don't even know where to begin. She is by far our most devious of the 5 so far. She is into everything! But she is full of smiles and laughter. She is so much fun and as much as she loves her mommy, she loves her daddy too. She keeps everyone hopping and there is never a dull moment when she is around. Just in the last 2 weeks she seems to have an overabundance of words that we didn't even know she knew. My favorite is to listen to her say "Bye" which in true East Texas style is about 4 syllables long and very loud! She loves to play outside, and the world is all good as long as she has her happy (paci), blanket, and a cup of milk, oh and Barney never hurts either. I am so blessed to be this baby girls mommy and can't imagine life without her around. I pray she has a blessed birthday and a fantastic year to come!

Emorie at about 2 weeks

Heat, Season 2

Tuesday, April 4 was Noah's first t-ball game of the season. He is on the Heat which is the team he was on last year. His swing looks really good and he is paying more attention when fielding than in the 2 prior seasons. They got new uniforms this year and he is so proud!

Five Months

On April 2 Elijah was 5 months old. I can't believe he is 5 months already. Time flies, right. This last month Elijah started eating cereal with applesauce, found his feet, tries to suck his thumb, rolled over from his tummy to his back, had RSV, and has had a double ear infection. He has started laughing out loud and really enjoys to sit up with the help of his bumbo chair!

More Birthday Fun

A week ago we went to my parent's house to celebrate Noah and Emorie's birthdays with family! We had a great time. This served as Emorie's birthday party for the year so she is all decked out for her purple Barney birthday!
