Emily turns 2...a month ago!

Uncle David and Nonie came to visit and celebrate Emily's second birthday. It rained most of the weekend, so we did a LOT of puzzles and legos inside instead! We had Emily's little birthday party with some of her favorite friends (big and small) and ate lots of yummy treats. She was thoroughly spoiled and enjoyed every second of it! We finally stopped celebrating this Monday as the last balloon was popped!
We love you, Ems!!!
Unfortunately Annie started throwing up in the middle of the night and most of Sunday morning. Poor little girl... :( She did a GREAT job of getting to the potty though!
With Ben playing Legos and Annie sleeping, Emily loved her time one-on-one with Uncle David and the marbles. She is wearing her new St. Patrick's Day dress! Love you Em!!! Thanks to everyone who made her birthday so special!!!

A collect-all

Life is crazy around here. More details to come... Here is the past few weeks.

Easter Morning - I had to take a quick picture which resulted in us being late for church. Easter Egg hunt with Grandma and Aunt Jamie. It stormed the night before, so we did it by the pool instead.
Emily quickly learned to bite open her eggs as soon as she picks them up to get the goodies out!
Grandma and Grandpa Maas sent a box full of eggs for a hunt at our house. This is the kids hiding their eyes because they couldn't stand waiting inside for me to hide eggs.

Annie posed finding egg because her hand was just too fast!
Yesterday a friend told me about a field of bluebonnets, so we had a great time! Now I can see why my dad always made us pose in the fields of flowers. It smells sooooo incredible! The kids had a (well, just Ben and Annie) had a great time running through the fields until they got back in the car and were super itchy. That's the part I remember from being a little kid!
Does it get any more perfect??? Maybe if the kids were looking at me!
Sweet Emily didn't love the flowers so much and begged to be held!
Happy Spring!!!
