These Girls!

I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am to have these girls in my life. Most days I sit back and pray that I am not messing them up too much...and then thank God that He's even given me the opportunity to try, ha! :) They are at such fun ages, and I'm learning to sit back and enjoy every moment. We have continued to live our crazy busy lives, but I am making a conscious effort to spend more time with them and less time at the gym. We're two weeks in and I'm feeling fatter but happier! ;) Here's some pics to document these beauties lately.

Somebody came to see Mommy at work on her Spring Break

Reading to Mommy's 5th graders--she did awesome!

Hot mess!!!

My almost first grader :(

The little daredevil wanted to put her hands up as she went down the slide

Love our blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby girls!

Easter 2014

We headed up to my parents' house for Good Friday and a little Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning. Nana wanted to show her grandbabies off. :) The girls had a blast as always, got way too much candy, and enjoyed running around the farm before we headed back home.

Sunday morning we all got ready for church and managed to make it there on time...impressive when you have 6 adults, 2 children, and an infant all under one roof! Easter Sunday is by far my favorite Sunday of the year. I just love the energy and presence felt throughout the entire service. Such a great reminder of who we're living this life for!

After church we headed back to our house for a little Mississippi Roast and then spent the afternoon at my grandparents' nursing home. We ended the evening hanging out with my brother and sis-in-law. So love when they're in town!

Best we could get!

Before lunch we had the girls go on an egg hunt to find their Easter baskets. We set eggs out with clues in each one Lainey had to read. Her sister wanted to help her "read" them as well!
