Cousins

Scott is the youngest of his three siblings

and has many cousins.

Two of them were visiting this week

and we had them over for dinner last night.

We walked out to show them our backyard

and took a group photo of them.

Today EK and SJ's cousins Max and Adelyn

came over for swim.

Here they are playing beside the pool.

EK has been a little sickly all week

and I took her to the dr yesterday because she had ran a fever for 3 days.

She had a sinus infection~

today I walked into the family room

and found her curled into a ball sound asleep.

Believe me...

that definitely means she is sick.

She never sleeps during the day otherwise~

SO happy for the weekend!!!

Easter Afternoon

After the kitchen was cleaned and

everyone off to their house,

we changed into swimsuits and headed to the pool.

The water is shocking cold but the littles act like it's nothing!!!

A&R completely satisfied to just lay out. :)

When Scott finally made it back home,

we took a ride in the boat and...

some of our crazy children took a swim! :)

THEN!

Amy and Max came over for egg dying and decorating!

SO fun!!!

The dying went great~

and I think Jingy decorated one...

but you know what their favorite part of the whole thing was???

Eating them!!!

2 each and Jingy had 2 for breakfast!

A big hit!!!

Thanks Amy and Max~ can't wait to do it again next Easter!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Today was a very sweet day for the littles~

especially SJ... her first Easter egg hunt!

She absolutely LOVED it!!!

It all started with a little snack

and devotional about Jesus and Easter~

And then outside for the hunt

on the parking lot because it was so wet...

Ready, Set, HUNT!

Best Friends~ EK and Rachel...

SJ SO proud of all her eggs~

Max too~

Such a happy time!

Sweet friends~

Madelyn, EK, and Rachel.

Rachel gave EK a zebra for her birthday~

they named it ZZ. :)

Egg hunt was a huge success

and they are already looking forward to tomorrow~

egg hunting, egg dying, and swimming!!! :)

Blessings to you all this Easter.

A Lovely Day

Jason and Amy really wanted to see their little Max today

so Mama and I took him over for a visit.

It was a sweet reunion to say the least...

Mama and her boy~

Daddy and his girl~

First thing Max wanted to know~

where his little sister was???

I had the sweet privilege to hold her today!!!

So did Mama.

Our beautiful Adelyn Rose!!!

The proud brother!!!

A very thankful Thursday for sure!!!

Adelyn Rose Martin

Today is Adelyn's birthday.

We made it just about the time they brought her into the nursery.

Jason~ a very happy and proud daddy!

Family of four!!!

Precious Adelyn Rose Martin!!!

A very sweet day for our family!!!

A Photo Shoot

The girls were out playing yesterday

and the light was just so beautiful,

I grabbed my camera for a little photo shoot.

Amelia came home from getting her hair cut

and guess who went running to her???

Rosie wasn't home for the shoot

because she was cheering at her last

home JV football game~

What a beautiful cheerleader!!!

We were able to go for a little while...

and made home in time to keep Max for a little while.

SJ just kind of sat back and watched Max~

he is a ball of energy and too fast for her. :)

But... I bet you can guess who can play right along side him???

Hmm ummm... EK! :)
