Gracie is so funny! Since she was little she has made up her own words for things and to this day still uses them. Today after church she asked me for a "radergade!" What is that? It would be a powerade! It made me laugh. She has also since she was able to talk called Matt "Maddy." She would cry and say "I want my Maddy!" Her favorite meal I make is chicken enchiladas, so when I ask what she wants for dinner she will say "chick-iladas!" The things they say... stuff I don't ever want to forget!

So tired!

She played so hard today! She sat down to read her book before bed and fell asleep reading her favorite book "Fancy Nancy!"

Science Fair!

Science Fair time. It's a lot of work! But a lot of fun! Izzy decided to do "Which dish soap makes the most bubbles?"

And the winner is ... Dawn dish soap!

Where has the time gone?

Where has the time gone? Seems like yesterday I took these pictures. Mason is 9, Izzy 3 1/2 and Baby Grace 5 months. Everyone always says "Time flies!" After having my kids, I now understand how fast time does fly!

Happiness...

Easter

My favorite part of Easter... Buying the Girls Easter Dresses. This year we didn't have church on Easter but I decided to dress them up anyway. They are so beautiful. They have such a love hate relationship!! They really are best friends!

Candy, Candy and more candy!

Mason got this interesting gift... a bunny that poops jelly beans. Pretty funny!!!

Easter starts early around our place. The Girls were up by 7:30 and had already found their baskets before Matt and I were up. It's funny when you say "Ok go find your basket" and they run right to it! Oh well thats what being a kid is all about.

No DOGS Allowed!! That's the rule. They have to wait outside the kitchen when food is out. Slowly they try and sneak in inch by inch. They were not happy when they were not included in the cupcake decorating! They did however, wait for any little morsel to fall to the floor for their taking!!

Easter Traditions ... Each year for Easter we have a few things we enjoy doing as a family. These include The egg hunt at Macey's grocery store. Dying our Easter eggs and decorating a treat sometimes cookies, this time cupcakes. We have so much fun spending time as a family! This year we made it to the egg hunt just in time. We woke up at 7:40am and the egg hunt started at 8:00am. We were running to make it and we did. (barely) Maybe because we were up so late decorating our cute cupcakes. I love these times. My kids are getting big so fast, so anytime I can stop them for just a second and let them be kids I cherish!! Even the Big kid! (Matt)

Decorating the cupcakes... I don't know who's having more fun, Dad or the kids?

Our cupcakes!!
