School Easter Egg Hunt...

Braden had his Easter Egg hunt at school, so Chris and I went and watched the fun unfold. :) The toddlers were pretty stinkin hilarious, and they sure did have fun getting all of those eggs. :) They were too cute.

Here are some of the pics from the hunt......

Easter gifts for Braden's sweet teachers. We love them. :) Time to go kids.... I am ready!! Bring on the eggs! :) I am already finding some... :) Jon is finding some too! :)Hi Jon! :) Look!! :) I am not sure which one is my bag. :) I am checking them out to see which one has the best eggs... :)
Jon was having fun hunting for eggs too.... Ms Leslie was helping the kids out....Sweet little B....I am reaching out to my friend William to make sure he is ok b.c he is not out hunting for eggs.Jon did not want to miss anything! :)I love you Braden... :) Sheila is the awesome owner/director at Braden's school and we love her! She is so great with the kiddos...
I hope this hunt goes on all morning! :) Fun times!! We thank the school for all of the awesome things that they do for the kids. What fun events they plan!! We are grateful to have such a wonderful place for Braden to learn and grow! :)

Small Group Easter Egg Fun....

We had an Easter Egg Hunt with our small group for our social in April. I think Braden was a pro by the time all of the egg hunts were over this season. HA! :) It is always good to get everyone together and let the kiddos play. They have such a great time together...and this afternoon was no exception. :)

Caroline and Caden are ready to get outside and get some eggs! :) Let's get this party started!! :) Are there any treats in these eggs? :( Michele and Hannah posing for a little pic....Caleb is ready to hunt for some eggs!Hannah liked the orange egg. :) Do you think this one has anything in it? Let me inspect it. :) Well, I've got a few so far. :)I am not sure I need to look for anymore. I think I have enough already. :) I decided to dump them all out on the ground and give someone else a chance! :)
Caroline decided she was ready to swing instead of hunt. :)Hanging out with Brant....but he was getting a little fussy b.c he could not play with the eggs. :) Actually I think the sun was just in his eyes. HA! The kiddos sitting around grubbing up on some Rudy's BBQ. Mmm, mmmm, good! :)

Cousin Fest!!

We had Cousin Fest the weekend of April 16th and it was lots of fun! :) Chris's mom, brother Andy, sister Katie, and our niece Riley came to Austin to play for the weekend....along with my mom, dad, brother Cory, sis in law Jennifer, niece Lainey, and nephew Graeme. It was great to have everyone here together and for the kids to get some good cousin time in. :)

We had a super busy weekend with the kiddos and we wore them out! :)
Braden and Riley had to get clean on Friday night before all of the fun continued on Saturday. :) We had a busy morning on Saturday at the park, swimming lessons, and lunch at Waterloo Icehouse with some more playground fun. After naps we headed downtown to the Austin Childrens Musuem and the kids had a total ball! :)

Uncle Andy and Braden hanging out downtown... Let's hold hands... Train table time!I love going down the slide on my stomach!! :) They have a new exhibit all about balls. I thought Braden was going to lose his mind! :) After the museum we headed down to Bananarchy for some yummy frozen banana treats!! WHOOP! :) Love all of the Austin food trailers. After our frozen treat, we headed to Chuck E Cheese to play some more. The kids went nuts...AGAIN! :) Braden wanted to take a ride in the monster car! :) I love putting tokens in these holes! :) Little Uncle time... :)
Chris and his mama....What am I going to get with all of my tickets? :) I ended up with a rubber snake and some rubber frogs! LOL! :) Riley opening her Easter presents on Sunday morning. We celebrated a birthday, Easter, and Mother's Day all in one weekend since we would not be together on those dates!! HA! :)
