Easter Egg Hunt

Getting ready for our Easter Party:

Shawn/Cristiano = lawn duty

Jerusha/Bella = watch Shawn/Cristiano on lawn duty

Bella is enjoying the amazing doughnuts and cookies

brought by the Kemp's. They were

delicious!!! Bella was on a sugar high till

Monday.

A few of the kids waiting in the living room as the

eggs were being hidden...

Shawn provides the 'rules' for easter egg hunting.

Babies under 3 got a few minutes lead time before

getting run over by the bigger kids

Finding easter eggs ALL over the front and back

yard was so much fun. The daddys did a great

job hiding about 400 eggs!!!

Bella in search of the big money egg... (she didn't
find it this year and was very disappointed but
is looking forward to next year)

Grandma Carol and Cristiano enjoying each

other's company

Baby and Me... I couldn't get Bella to sit still enough for a picture with me. She was too excited to have her friends over

Cristiano and Jana - he was happy to give

LOTS of kisses out this Easter

I had to throw this picture in... This is me --- multitasking to the hilt. I've got baby playing while doing the laundry, Bella sleeping at my feet (because lately she is attached to my hip) and working (see laptop in the background). I love being a mom :0).

Cristiano's latest favorite thing to do: chew on his toes!!! And he can get just about all of them in there... GROSS!

Grandma Carol feeding Cristiano... he loves to drop things as he eats just to watch all of us pick them off the floor for him.

It's Spring!

Cristiano has no desire to crawl... just walk like his

Ate. They're already playing dress up.

We'll just need to keep an eye on Bella

to make sure she doesn't dress him up

in one of her old ballet outfits...

Bella took this pic outside our house over the

weekend. It was so beautiful outside. We're

all happliy sneezing now thanks to the

Oklahoma allergy season. But it's really great

to see the trees and tulips blooming.

A ride in the Escalade!

I didn't think this would happen so soon!

Bella took Cristiano out for a little ride down

the driveway (with a little help from dad

and mom of course). He's almost able

to sit up on his own... just a little weeble

wobble every now and then.

Weekend with la Familia...

A visit with Brandon and Kelsey

Bella LOVED her visit with Auntie to-be Kelsey

and the 2nd strongest man in the

world - Uncle Brandon. She didn't leave her side

for one minute (thanks Kels for letting her stick so

close to you...)

We had crab night with Brandon, Kelsey

and Bella's BFF Molly and family.

YUMM...

Cristiano and his entourage

Good night babies... after a long and

wonderful day!

Thank you Grandma for my Princess dress!

Julia and Bella at the park today... it was

a gorgeous day!
