Hunting Eggs, Take 1

Our friend Philip's parents host a fun Easter Egg Hunt each year. I believe they said this is the 14th year. WOW, that's a lot of eggs. We were so excited to participate this year, and our kids had a blast.

Emma's inital reaction to the starting line was crying. Who knew?!

She quickly recovered and did some hunting.

Ended with a smile and lots of eggs.

Connell's turn. He was all business.

Egg-hoarding:)

Even the "big" kids got in on the action. I would have too. Their eggs had MONEY in them!

Seasoned-pro!

Waiting patiently for the Easter bunny to arrive

There "he" is! What a nice bunny!

St. Patty's Day

*these are all iphone pics so please excuse the quality!

We began our festive weekend with a Luck of the Irish Breakfast at our friends' house. Jennifer was sweet to plan a "green" meal with lots of fun involved and the kids really enjoyed every bit. Green pancakes, green egss, green milk...And of course, lucky charms! :)

Meme and Papa came to visit and we met up with Uncle Patrick and Aunt Samantha for lunch. We got several comments about being Irish since clearly, we were all decked out!

Art Party

Our friend Chloe celebrated her 5th birthday with a fabulous art party. Her mommy (my friend, Heather) gets into parties as much (really more!) than I do! It's the fun details that makes us tick, right Heather? :)

The sweet birthday girl! Happy Birthday, Chloe! Thank you for inviting us to your party!

Happy Heart Day

This Mommy's heart is full, today and everyday I spend with these two! :)

Go TIGERS!

While we were in town, we were able to go to a Memphis Tigers game. We had so much fun! Meme and Papa were out of town, but they were kind enough to share their tickets with us. My Dad got a few extras and we were all able to go. Uncle Chris was in town working and he came with us too. The Tigers won big, which made it all even better! Connell went to a game when he was about 18 months old, so this was his first game (that he remembers) and Emma's first too.

Emma and I sat with my Mom in their season ticket seats. The boys all sat together and with my zoom lens, I got a pretty cool pic of them.

Wow, look at little baby Connell! This was the beginning of Feb, 2009.
I was pregnant with Emma.
