Graystone Easter Egg Hunt

Our family had a blast at our church Easter Egg Hunt. I love that all three girls went with us two hours early and helped get everything ready. They help stuff eggs the week before and then help spread over 15000 eggs out. So neat for them to have the joy of serving this young of an age.

Harper had her first egg hunt and did very well. They all three came home with a huge bucket of candy filled eggs.

The biggest hit was the petting zoo. The girls would of stayed in there...and did stay in there almost the whole time. They all love animals but Harper has absolutely no fear of any of them. She picked up anything that she could get her hands on.

Grace really wanted to hold something but everytime we got close to her she would freak

Then we found the trick...her sitting down to hold a bunny.

Spring 2012 Soccer

Soccer season started with a bang. Grace was signed up for another season of U6 soccer with Chad as the coach. A little girl backed off the time at the last minute and they suggested Olivia took her spot. So we asked Olivia if she wanted to play and she was so excited to be part of the team. She is the youngest on the team and it's a little over her head but she has been tough. She runs, chasing the ball most of the time and doesn't mean to be in the middle of the mix. It's been really cute.

Grace continues to love the sport of soccer. She has told us that she does not wish to do cheerleading but to always do soccer. She is one determined girl on the field. And has started training with daddy's U9&U10 girls on Thursday nights. She lives for that night...not sure if it b/c she is with her daddy, with some older girls she adores or because she loves the sport. I think it is a little bit of it all. And Grace doesn't seem to mind having her sister on the team.

Day off School

We had a day off school so we talked daddy into taking the day off too. We traveled downtown to the Children's museum. The kids had a blast and I had a blast watching them.

Aidan and Oliva are like an old married couple

Buckets can entertain them for hours.

Lovin from my sweet six year old

Won't have many more times with her doing this...have to enjoy while I can

Olivia has really taken to Harper lately. Wants to sit with her, give her food she wants, hold her hand, play with her, pick her up...

Another Maddox fell asleep with a soccer ball

Silly Harper always trying to get a laugh out of others

Who needs a baby doll when your very own 1 year old, who will do anything you tell her to do

Spring Picture Day

Olivia had picture day at school. I shot some pictures of her before she left for school. I think my pictures turned out so much better then her school pictures. The top one will be on the mantel!

Little Gym Birthday Party

Olivia requested a penguin birthday about three months before she turned four. And after going to a party at Little Gym at the beginning of January she began requesting her party there. So we put the two together and had an amazing party. I was still able to plan by theme and not have to clean the house. And Olivia had the time of her life. She was all smiles the whole time. She participated and didn't need mom and dad by her side. I know some of this has to do with age but it was also because she was comfortable.
