The Other Princess...

We watched a bit of the Royal Wedding this morning, but Claire was demanding "Mickey" or one of her TV shows. I tried to pique her interest in the wedding by explaining to her that a princess was getting married. She heard one word and raced into her bedroom to her dress up box and pulled out her version of "princess wedding."

Then she insisted on walking Carly on "short leash" around the house as her escort. Asher kinda got into things although he was not dressed appropriately.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Sunday! XOXO Asher, Kate, Claire, Scott, and Avery

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever believes in me shall not perish but have everlasting life."

- John 11:25-26.

Dallas Zoo on Good Friday

We headed down to the Dallas Zoo early this morning since Scott had the day off. The weather was cool, the crowds weren't too bad, and the kiddos were in great moods. We went over to "The Other Side" of the zoo and let the kids play in the water and do the petting zoo. Claire and Scott got to ride Tiffany, the camel.

And away she goes!

Claire got a new-old bicycle yesterday from a neighbor-friend. We took it out for a spin this morning and she went around the entire block all by herself!!! These are posed pictures in the alley for her victory lap since I did not have my camera handy.

Easter Egg Hunt

It was a cold spring morning for the annual Easter Egg Hunt put on by our neighborhood association. The kids had fun collecting the eggs and then discovering the candy inside. Asher and Avery were in heaven! Uncle Casey and Chika (our dutiful photographer) joined us for this fun event, which was over rather quickly. Nonetheless, energy was spent and 2/3 of my children are still sleeping. : )

Bluebonnets!

We have bluebonnets! Claire and Avery were hams for the camera, but poor Ash just wasn't feeling well.

Train Table for ELC!

But, boy, do I wish it was for us!!! I guess it still could be considering it is going up for bid at the Live Auction next week @ Claire's school.... Hmmm...

Scott put the thing together with directions from ehow.com. I painted, felted, and decorated. Each of C's classmates painted a little wooden train which I attached to the table and painted on tracks.
