I love this picture


I think this is pretty good for your average mom!

Ishia and Abi

Olivia is also super lucky to have amazing grandparents (who she calls "Ishia and Abi" because she can't say "Alicia" and "Abi" just stuck, I think short for Abuelo) that dote on her whenever she needs it!

This is her basket from them-I love the white picket fence and grass.

They are always at her side!

They got her this beautiful card where they recorded their voices wishing her a happy Easter and telling her how much they loved her, and then it played "twinkle, twinkle" which is her latest favorite!

My Tia Mana Spoils Me!

My mana has to be the best tia in the world. She showers Olivia with love and things all the time, but she is really good at the holidays! Thanks tia mana-We love you so much!

Look at all those bows!

This has got to be one of the cutest gifts ever, her very own Parisol!

This was her basket from mana-It is adorable!

The Hunt

First thing Sunday morning she hunted the eggs the Easter bunny left her in our backyard. She was so persistent!

She looks so grown up to me in these pictures:(

Can't be too creative hiding eggs from a toddler

One the move-she spotted these from a distance

Plants are perfect hiding spots!


The eggs

These were the final product, thank goodness we got to use them in potato salad and have some deviled eggs, YUMMY!



I love the vibrant colors!

Easter Eve

Saturday night we had an egg decorating party at our house. Jesse made a scrumptious meal and my grandparents and parents came over to watch Olivia decorate the eggs. She loved it, and everyone got a kick out watching her enjoy herself so much!

The best grandma ever!

Squeezing the glitter glue pens

Watch and learn

Bluebonnet picture attempt

So-I was off for Good Friday and my friend Sarah and I decided to take the kids to the mall to get pictures with the Easter bunny and then to Oyster Creek Park and take pictures in the bluebonnets. Great idea, right, wrong-Olivia was terrible-she would not sit still for a single picture. She was super good in line for 35 minutes at the mall, so I should have known it was coming!

This was not the look I was going for

Sarah' kids were great; Ethan and Audrey

Dancing in the bluebonnets

This is the very first picture I took-at least she said "cheese"

Check out my curls!

I had to share these! My baby has so much hair and some awesome curls! Poor baby has a hard time when it's windy outside like it is now!

Goofy girl!

I love the ringlets!

I think she's got it!

This last weekend Olivia got the concept of searching for eggs! We went to Hudson's birthday party and she had a blast!

Finding chocolates inside the eggs was great!

Look how full that basket is, she was determined!

She stopped and gave us a "cheese" while she looked for eggs!

All up in the flower bed searching for Easter eggs!


Hudson's First Birthday!

We all had a great time this past weekend at Hudson's Birthday party. It had an Easter Egg Hunt, a flower planting craft, an amazing play scape and super yummy food! Hudson is hands down one of the cutest babies I have ever seen, and he is really sweet too!

Where are his shades?

YUMMY!

Jesse really wants a boy now!

Fun Mess!


Hudson's 1st Birthday con't

All the children got bunny ears. At one point or another most of the kids put them on and were willing to pose for pictures!

Too cute-Jackson and his neighbors in bunny ears!
Olivia joined the fun!

Baby Luke-How precious! (Julia and Husdon checking out their ears)

I love this picture!
