Hoppy Easter!

The day before Easter, we went to an Easter Scramble out on the soccer fields. It was a free for all--broken up by age groups. Cooper waiting for his turn with Daddy.
Avery and Isabel comparing sunburns and waiting for their turn. (We spent three hours at the pool on Friday--without enough sunscreen!)
Avery with the bunnies. Cooper was terrified and refused to get into the scramble at first because one of the bunnies was there to 'help' the children!
Easter morning--Cooper's basket. He woke me up by coming in and saying, "Mommy, I have chocolate in my mouth!"
Avery with her basket. She woke me up around 4 am to inform me that the bunny had been there, but she did not see her basket! Thank goodness the bunny had hid it well, or we might have started our celebration then!
Cooper's new silly face he makes for pictures.
I forgot how beautiful the azaleas are here in the spring!
Bunny ears!


Beautiful kiddos.

Okay...now you can make a silly face! Cooper was game, Avery said, "I don't want to make a silly face!" Funny, she did anyway. Later, we went over to the McDonald's for dinner. Here is Avery smokin' Shay in a race!
Coop riding his bike.
A super cute funny series of pictures of Cooper and Reagan!
So cute and silly


Reagan going in for the kiss!
Trying to get a picture of the 5 of them--this was the best we could get!
Happy Easter!!!

Matt's new ride







Happy 3rd Birthday Cooper!

I'm not sure why this picture turned--here is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake we made for the birthday boy :) The plan was to play outside on the swingset and hang out on the patio, but mother nature had other rainy plans, so...we stayed in and let the kids play.

Here are a few photos of the aftermath... :)
Happy Birthday buddy!

Aunt Judy visits

Aunt Judy came to FL and got a fair share of sunny days I think...a few rainy ones thrown in...and myself and Cooper with strep throat! However, she avoided it and she and the kids and Matt and I had a nice visit. We spent a morning at the zoo... Here is Cooper in the new underwater viewing area for the penguins--obviously didn't catch any in the background!
Avery had a little stitching lesson...
Avery also had a first grade performance during the week. Each class sang a song about one of Aesop's fables. Avery is bottom center left in the red.
