Fun in the sun (and water!)

It was a hot day at the playground today, so after the girls got home from playing this afternoon, Kelly broke out the bathing suits and put some water and Tupperware out on the deck!  HOW FUN!  The girls look like they had a great time.  Oh, and can I just say how awesome it is to not only have a fun, young nanny, but also one who takes great pictures and seems to be as picture crazy as I am!!  We are really going to miss Kelly next year!!

Kelly and I think alike! 
I was just thinking yesterday how cute it would be to paint their toes...
and I came home to this today.  YEA!!

 Grandma bought the girls these adorable outfits for Easter so I had to take a few pictures before I went to school this morning. 



Easter (a week late!)

Because we drove through the night Saturday night (into Easter Sunday) and because Deanna and Mom were either out of town or busy, we did not do any kind of Easter egg hunt this year.  I was a little sad about this (as was my good friend Heather who thought I was a HORRIBLE mom for not even getting the girls Easter baskets), so when Mom offered to host an Easter egg hunt/lunch date for the kids, I was very excited to say the least! 

So...on Saturday, we went to Grandmas and participated in our first Easter egg hunt!  It was the PERFECT day!  The weather was beautiful, the kids all did great looking for and finding eggs, we had a great lunch and then we walked the kids to the park to play on the playground.  I could not have asked for a more perfect afternoon!  Hanging out with two of my very favorite ladies and my four favorite kids was just awesome!

Taking after her Mommy...we couldn't get her to stop eating the sugary yumminess!

"Is there a bean or a peep in here??"

This picture is really funny because that is such a Leah face that Bella is making!

The whole gang!

Kai always has the best faces!

Little Beauty!

Leah looks so big in this dress...the wind must have been blowing under it!

Lunch time..check out the cool table Grandma bought!

Pics by Kelly (and Daddy!)

Oh how nice it is to have warm weather on a consistant basis (although apparently after today it is going to be cold for a few days...boo!).  The girls have had so much fun playing outside!  Here are some pics Kelly took last week. 

Such a big girl!

Notice the cut on the nose...her loving sister pushed her down the basement stairs.

Pretty girls!

Later that afternoon, Cesar gave me a much needed hour off while he took the girls to the river for some play-time! 

My little water baby!
