Easter and Visiting with grandma

We had a great Easter, and it was even better because my mom and Em were out visiting.  The kids really missed them, and were so excited to have them here. We did the whole Easter bunny, and egg hunting-dying on Saturday this year for the first time, so the kids would really think about the true meaning of Easter. It only took explaining and teaching all day long Saturday..... and into Sunday...but we think they may have got it. Our little guy is unbelievably 9 months old,  and developing quite the personality...it is so interesting how three kids can be so completely different from one another. They are great kids......

NYC trip with mom and lil sis
Dave (in all his greatness) watched the kids, so just us gals could go to the big city. It was a great trip and a nice break. We were able to see a lot more than when we went before and I didn't have to chase three little munchkins...

Seeing your cute little Jackson is getting me excited to have a boy! He is just a little ball of joy and chub it looks like! So cute. So every time I'm out in the yard, someone passes by to tell me how beautiful your yard was and tells me how much I'll have to work to keep up! We love love lobe this yard and though it probably won't be as immaculate as you had it, we will do our best. Miss you guys!

Man, you and Dave could make babies for a living.... you know, like you could sell them, you know what I mean. They are the cutest kids I've ever seen (Covey excluded, sorry, parental bias). I can't believe how much they're all growing. By the way, these pictures look professionally done, is it the camera or the operator? Our pictures don't turn out so good, so I'm wondering if its just my fault.

Okay your kids are beautiful!! And I love the color scheme you did for Easter clothes. Good taste! Anyway, I posted something on my blog that I hope won't upset you. If I were you, I would be missing these flowers and this yard something fierce! You have done such a great job here. Second of all, I linked to my post from your blog and couldn't figure out why it came up so weird. If you cut off the last stuff that says feed default, something like that so it just ends at .com, it will come up normal. Or maybe I am just really a retarded blogger and its only cute on my computer cause I don't know how to set it up properly. :O)
