Don't forget the Bluebonnets

I have been searching fields as I drive and asking locals "where are the blue bonnets?" I really wanted to get some pictures of the kids in blue bonnets while we were in Texas. On Friday I spotted a patch of them not too far from our house. Saturday I brought the kids there to get some pictures. It might have been nicer if they were wearing matching clothes but I was too lazy to coordinate that. I for sure had to get some pictures of our Texan in the bonnets. He enjoyed them too. I really liked the "moody" shots I got of Emily too. I can't believe how grown up she is looking.

I do love spring in Texas

If it could stay like spring year round I wouldn't mind living here so much. The weather is perfect, warm but no humidity yet. East Texas is a rainbow of Azelas (might have spelled that wrong). The plants are beautiful but the blooms don't last long. Most of these plants were new to me when we moved here. The wisteria is so pretty, you see "bushes" of it and it wild throughout trees all over. The purple is really brilliant. My new favorite tree is the Dogwood, you usually see white ones but I have noticed pink ones this year. When the tree is in full bloom it looks like a glowing white tree. I think end of March is the best time to visit East Texas. I hope you enjoy these pictures, it's even better in real life.

Claire's birthday party

We had a few friends of Claire's over from her play group for her birthday. We played a game of musical chairs then opened presents and had cake. It was lots of fun. Claire was so happy to have her friends over

Ladies Man!!!

We are in trouble!!! During Claire's birthday party we put Harrison and Toby sitting up playing with each other, than we decided to hold Ashley up to "sit" inbetween them so all the babies were together. Harrison then leaned over and tried to "kiss" Ashley. What are we going to do if he is "hitting" on the girls already.

Easter Dresses

Emily and Abby got new dresses for Easter. There wasn't one in Claire's size so she wore a nice spring dress we already had. Harrison wore a handsome shorts and jacket outfit he got from Grandma when he was born. "It was the perfect size to wear for easter. I think he looks precious especially with his knee socks!!

Easter Morning

Here are the kids with their baskets in the morning. I didn't get a "group" shot because I was a bit tired and not really with it since I had a long night with an unhappy Harrison. I believe they had a pretty good easter.

Egg hunt and BBQ

My good friend Arlene hosted a BBQ for the group of us that do play group and Girls night out. It was lots of fun to do something as families. We did an egg hunt for the kids then just let them play while the adults visited and ate. It was a great time. I have become really good friends with all of them and they really make Nacogdoches better.
