Easter Sunday

I will make this brief as there are many pictures! But we had a wonderful Easter! The kids woke-up, found their Easter baskets, played for a bit and we headed to church. We then came home, had lunch and the kids hunted their eggs! It was a nice, warm day for a change. I really don't think we've had a warm Easter since Olivia was born. We have always been wearing coats or hunting inside even one year, so we truly enjoyed this year's weather!

Jack took no time dismantling his basket

Olivia shortly followed suit

Their Easter best!

This boy is trouble!

And a performer!

Ready to hunt some eggs!

I love this picture...

Jack has spotted an Elmo Easter egg and was so excited he dropped his basket in order to run to it and pick it up! He is yelling, ELMO!!!

Olivia had a lot of fun enjoying most the eggs to herself!

After Jack was done hunting, which wasn't long, he wanted the toys out of the garage.

Guess he decided he'd take a seat and wait for us to fulfill his request for toys!

AH! I could just eat him up!

Yea!!! I am finally done with Easter!

All gun gow, as Jack would say.

Isle de Bois

For some reason I am having a really hard time getting motivated to update my blog this year! I would just jump to what we've been doing, but being the perfectionist I am, I have to close out Easter first. So please excuse my extreme laziness and you can just skip these posts since all of us are way past Easter and ready for SUMMER!!!!

Just in case anyone wants to know... Denny, Olivia, Jack and I all met some of our other friend's families up at Isle de Bois at Lake Ray Roberts for an Easter egg hunt the weekend before Easter. The kids had a great time and so did the adults!

All the kids ready to hunt for their eggs!

Jack was more interested in playing with the balls!

Checking out their loot

After hunting eggs we walked down to the beach at the lake and let the kids play in the sand, and yes, even the water! It was freeeezing! Thankfully they didn't ask us to join them! :)

I should have clarified that after the egg hunt the women went down to the beach to watch the kids and the guys did this..... They said they had to "protect" our stuff! Denny being the helpful, sweet hubby he is took Jack for me! So he is just one of the guys!

Denny spent most of his time on the playground with Mr. Jack

We finally got the guys to come down and join us and Jack had a blast stealing everyone's (and I mean everyone's) snack while they were out playing!

There were water balloons too!

The mommies

I love this picture!

If you haven't been to Isle de Bois, I highly suggest it. It's not Destin or anything, but it's also less than 30 minutes from home!

Hippity hoppity Easter's on it's Way!

We had our first Easter egg hunt of the year with our neighborhood! We saw lots of old friends and even made some new ones! It was beyond windy the day of the hunt so excuse our hair! Gotta love springtime in north Texas!

An attempt at getting the kids to pose.

Jack had a BLAST playing on the playground.
He explored every inch of it!

Trying to keep up with big sis!

They were so cute playing together!

Olivia waiting for hers to begin!

Jack is so in love with Elmo and is so proud to carry his Elmo Easter basket!

Much better the 2nd go-round!

D0n't worry, there are more Easter eggstravaganza pictures to come!

Taylor Swift

We are not typically big concert goers, however, we had a week full of them, well, two! :) Just two days after John Mayer, Olivia and I went to see Taylor Swift. We went with two of her other friends and their mommies, and had a great time!

All dressed up ~ Sawyer, Emma, Olivia

We were so surprised and happy to run into Kennedy while we were there! The girls even got matching concert t-shirts, they are so cute!

The girls in awe of the arena and stage!

Do they look ready for a concert or what!?

So, the biggest disappointment of the night... our seats... Here is our wonderful view from them...

I was literally scared to go back down in the dark, it was so steep. Thankfully there were no bathroom breaks!

And here was what was next to Olivia, the partition. We were literally the last 2 seats on the side of the stage... at the tippy-top!

Even though our seats were awful, and we had a hard time hearing sweet Taylor, the experience itself was fun enough! Taylor had many outfit changes, sang a TON of sonds, and even sang out in the audience... in the seats surrounded by fans! I wish we could have had the full effect of seeing the stage from the front and seeing the video screens that played throughout. But I have definitely learned my lesson, good seats or no seats! :)

I am excited that this was Olivia's first concert and I was able to share that experience with her!

John Mayer

When we found out that John Mayer was coming to town Denny and I thought it would be fun to see him in concert. We ended going with our good friends Summer and Layton and we had a great night!

We started out with dinner at Taco Diner and then made our way down to the concert.

Summer and Layton

Once we got to the concert we ran into several other friends and enjoyed hanging out with them a little before the show started!
Allison, me, Summer

John Mayer was awesome in concert! I have to admit that we were not huge fans before the concert but that all changed... I am hooked! He was so great and we had so much fun!!! I

cannot wait to see him in concert again!
