Aryah's colorful day

I had assumed when I saw the marker all over Aryah's face that it was Victoria that had done it to her. After I laughed, took a picture and washed it off I decided to ask Mason if he did it. He said no in that way that kids do and you know they are lying! Finally he confessed. I asked him why he would color on the baby's face and he said "I just thought it would be funny!"

Easter activity #3

Jes's boss Ray and his wife Melinda invited us over for Easter lunch, and of course another egg hunt!!! Their new house was beautiful and we had fun hanging out and eating!

Easter activity #2

April 4, Easter morning

We woke up to Mason coming into our room yelling "The bunny came and I saw 4 eggs already!!!" He was so excited, so we hurried and got up and went on an egg hunt!

Mason and Victoria got sun glasses in their baskets! They were a hit!

Tori is such a Daddy's girl!

The Easter bunny had to color code the eggs so Mason wouldn't find all the easy ones. The pink, purple and yellow ones were Tori's and all the rest were Mason's. It worked out pretty well that way.

Victoria got a new dress in her basket!

Easter activity #1

On Saturday we went to the YMCA Easter celebration. They had and egg hunt, bounce house, face painting and a train ride. The kids had a great time, we of course had some complaints!

Train ride

Ha! Mason looks so grumpy! I don't know why he was upset but I love the face he is making!

Victoria and Aryah

Victoria hunting eggs.

This is where our complaints came in. They had the hunts divided into age groups. Tori was in the 1 to 3 years old group. Naturally in this group there were parents helping the little ones. We saw parents loading up their 1 year old kids bucket till they overflowed with eggs, and all the while Tori got 3. Yes you heard right... 3 whole eggs. People are such jerks! When Mason saw Victoria only got 3 eggs he said he would share some of his with her. He can be so sweet sometimes!

Mason and Aryah

I had put Aryah in her room on her tummy time mat to play for a few minutes and when I came back to check on her I found Mason had laid down next to her and was reading her a story. He is so sweet. He has made it his personal mission to teach his sisters the alphabet! Tori is doing really well learning it from him!

After the fall

To help Mason feel better after his face plant on the concrete he wanted to watch a movie in his bed and snuggle with his sisters! So cute! Check out his huge fat lip! Poor baby.

The danger of concrete floors...

We were in the kitchen when I saw Mason slip and fall. It wasn't a bad fall, so I wasn't worried when he started to cry. But, then he started to SCREAM! I ran over to him and he had blood running down his face, dripping on his shirt. I don't do well with injuries so I called Jes to come in from the yard to help me clean him up and see if he needed stitches. Luckily he didn't. He had the hugest fat lip I have ever seen, a big gash on his chin and his gums by his front teeth were all torn up.

Poor guy!
