On your mark, Get set...EGGS!

We finally made it to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt this year! Olivia & Will had such a great time. It was a little chilly, but they didn't seem to mind. I am sure it had something to do with the hundreds of plastic candy-filled eggs that were lying all over the lawn. The Easter Bunny even hopped on by. Although William informed me with a rather disgusted voice that it wasn't the real Easter Bunny. Thanks to the Morgans & Gallups for organizing everything. We are so blessed to live in such a fun neighborhood!

Easter Festivities!

My kids have been blessed with two wonderful grandmas! Every holiday they both plan the funnest parties for their grandkids. This Easter was NO exception. Grandma Linda entertained them with an egg hunt, dying eggs, & decorating egg-shaped sugar cookies (William insisted on frosting all of his cookies blue. After all, blue is his favorite color as he likes to tell us literally EVERY time he sees something blue). Then it was off to Grandma Alana's for an egg relay race, bunny craft, & scavenger hunt. Thank you to both grandmas for always making my children have such special & memorable holidays. They are so lucky to have you & love you more than you'll ever know!

Birthday Fun

Today is my dear friend Heather's birthday. We celebrated yesterday with some "girl time" & lunch at Zinn Bistro (really yummy food for those of you who haven't been there). It was a blast! Happy Birthday, Heather...Thanks for being my best friend!

Would you ever believe that Liv is pregnant
& due in 6 weeks?

A New Toy

Look who found her feet! She seems to be favoring the right one though...maybe it tastes better?

Summer Fever?

Forget Spring fever...these kids are full on ready for summer! The girls came home from school today & decided it was time for a party. It's not quite warm enough for swimsuits, but they don't care. They are loving this weather.

Practice Will Hopefully Make Perfect

Spring has sprung...at least for today! I am sure old man winter will make another appearance. But today was so beautiful! We spent a good part of the afternoon trying to teach Liv how to ride a bike (emphasis on the "trying"). She is & always has been the most cautious little thing. She wants the training wheels off so badly. Anyone have any suggestions?

4 Month Shots?

So usually my babies are really crabby on shot days...does this look like a sad baby to you? Maybe it's because it's St. Patrick's Day... it's that Irish blood in her veins from the Coyle side of the family!

4 Months Old

Another month has come & gone which means that our sweet Lyla Jane is now 4 months old. She keeps getting cuter & cuter. She has discovered her hands & is trying to reach for objects...hours of entertainment. She has also entered the "drooling" stage (I don't remember my other kids drooling quite this much). This picture is a great representation of her personality...always happy & smiling!

Future Buddies

My sweet little niece, Lucy Mae, was here for a short visit this week. It is always so fun to see her. She is the only other grandchild on my side of the family & I love her like she's my own. I can't wait until Lyla & Lucy can play & interact more....all they do right now is stare at each other! Hopefully they'll become great buddies as they grow up.

The Happiest Place on Earth!

As most of you know, I LOVE Disneyland There is no place I would rather go on vacation. Luckily, I married someone who loves it as much as me...maybe even more! We had such a great time...80 degrees & lots of sunshine. Nate's mom joined us this time & was a HUGE help. It was great to have her there. Liv was really into the "big" rides this time. It was bittersweet...fun that she loved the thrill rides, but sad to see her growing up & not as interested in Fantasy Land. Her favorites were Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain Railroad, Matterhorn , & Pirates of the Caribbean (0ur family fav). Will loved the train (shocker), haunted house, & Buzz Lightyear. He developed a bit of a crush on Minnie Mouse & affectionately refers to her as his "girlfriend." Lyla spent most of her time in the Baby Bjornn, but loved every minute of it. She really liked being outside. We were really sad to come home & can't wait to go back soon. Disneyland truly is the happiest place on earth!
