Happy Easter 2016

Easter 2016 was a fun holiday for our little family.

We spent Saturday in Lubbock, hanging out at our church doing kids Easter activity. We had a small Easter egg hunt with our close friends, the Maldonaldo's, at the park. Finished the day off cooking yummy food and having family time!  On Sunday, we drove the short drive to spend Easter with Justin's family in New Mexico. We had a great church breakfast, a little play time at the park (can we talk about how perfect the weather was, 75 and sunny!) , the kids hunted Easter eggs in Nana's front yard, we had a good family lunch before heading back home.  It was a great holiday and we enjoyed reflecting on how loving our Father is. Our kids are really starting to understand the significance of Easter and I love sharing stories of our sweet Jesus with them.

Luke's special Valentine's Day

This sweet boy had a very special Valentine's Day!  He had his first "date" to his school Valentine's Dance with a sweet little girl named Adriana.  He was escorted by me and his Aunt T who came to see this special event!  We got to watch from the stands as he danced away with his friends.  He is so sweet and so innocent and I could not love this boy any more. He makes us so proud!

Kylee Grace turns 3

Our full spirited little girl has turned 3 years old!!!

We celebrated with close friends and family at the local ice cream shop in town. Kylee wanted a Frozen Ice Cream party, and for this princess, she got it!  She is such a joy to be around. She is so charismatic, silly, so so so smart and just a genuinely easy child. She gets so shy when she has everyone's attention. So seeing her shy smile while everyone was singing to her was just the most precious thing. 

What is our sweet girl into?  At 3 years old she...

- loves fruit!  LOVES IT!

- She likes to be outdoors jumping on the trampoline or riding her scooter

- She is genuinely obsessed with her big brother

- She loves Frozen and Tangled

- she gets so excited about Texas Tech and likes to be at any sporting event

- She is taking gymnastics and ballet 

- Her doll house her Poppi built her is her absolute favorite toy

- She loves dolls and dresses them, does their makeup, and tucks them into bed

- She will spend hours at the park just going down the slides over and over again

- She is a true daddy's girl but loves girl time with me!

- This girl LOVES her naps. No lie, she will ask to take a nap and sleep for hours

- she also does not like morning time or waking up at all

- her favorite part of church is going to puppets

- you are my sunshine is her most favorite song in the world

I am loving every second of watching this beautiful baby grow up. She is our baby girl forever...
