Happy Easter

 Library story time, where it's perfectly acceptable to wear your sunglasses because check out the girl in the tutu to Tatum's left. 

 Beauty at the park

 Ride 'em ducky

 This photo doesn't show it but poor pink blanket is very delicate and is falling apart! My eyes are open for a replacement.

 A boy and his dog

 Morning walk with "Hannah" 

 And an afternoon picnic with "little baby". Princess dress attire required

 At our Easter Egg Hunt at the park. We had about 100 eggs and their may have well been 12 - each one of them where so happy to open their first egg, we really had to encourage them to continue to gather

 Kite surfing like her Daddy

 Ah, those cheeks!

 Brother and Sister holding hands - melts my heart.

 Happy Easter - playing at the park

 Look who took Sisters' car out for a spin

 Reverse is currently the only direction he knows. Pretty good advertisement for the pool net, don't you think

Still reversing? A little help please

Family Buggy Ride

 Sunday was perfect for a buggy ride

 Fresh air makes everyone smile

 and puffy cheese snacks never hurt anyone

 Daddy can be a driver and a jungle gym

 Don't let this sad face fool you - she was thrilled to be so dirty! Tatum is quite the actress

 But there's no faking being such a sweet sister

 Brother and sister playing in the sand

 Perfect spot in the shade

 "look guys, I'm so dirty!" She what I mean - thrilled!

Spring in the desert

 But wait! After almost crying, Tatum changed her tune and managed to squeak out a few waves! 

 This Bunny Business isn't so bad with Brother by my side

 Tatum has a head full of hair this year and a basket full of eggs to boot!

 And she was feeling generous enough to share

 Which makes us all smile

 Our family has grown and so have our hearts. Happy almost Easter!

 I would be remiss not to mention that Tatum continued her lucky streak in the raffle this year by winning not two but three gifts!

Swim Class, St. Patrick's Day and Other Happenings

 Tatum started swim class last week. Pictured here observing the class before hers - she seems laid back enough about it

 She did awesome the first class but the second class, as pictured here, there were a few "Go to Mommy" screams. She knew what was coming this time around and let Coach Trevor know that she was a bit uneasy. I banished myself to an unseen area of the deck and the cries stopped until she saw me again. I greeted her with a "great class, Tatum. I hear you did awesome!" "Yeah, I did, Mommy". "Do you want to come again on Thursday?" "Yeah, I do!" Crossing fingers that tomorrow is tearless

Graham keeps himself occupied by walking the chairs and pushing the bike

This is my beauty at a St. Patrick's Day party. You would think by her lack of clothes that it was a swim party but it wasn't

 Can't keep Graham from a party

 And apparently, we can't keep Tatum's clothes on at the party! 

 Miss Katie came for a visit and even with both of us making goofy faces, we had trouble capturing a good photo of both kids on St. Patrick's Day. Here are a few outtakes. This pretty much sums up life with two little ones

Girl does like to strike a pose though! It's important to see how a headband will look from the profile

 She decided on a pink one and has also decided to keep with current trends with the way she is wearing it

The Wiegand's helped us celebrate the day

 And the following day we took Miss Katie to one of our favorite spots

 Loving this Spring weather

 And play dates with our favorite friends

Nothing but F-U-N around here
