Happy Easter

We have had a very busy day

This was my first time rag rolling Peyton’s hair. She loved having these pink things in her hair. She didn’t want me to take them out in the morning.

Peyton has learned to scrunch up her nose when she smiles. It is so hard to get a good smile out if her.

Or catch her when she isn’t looking

After church we headed over to Taylor’s sisters house for some more fun. We started with some more photos. Then an Easter egg hunt, a delicious dinner, cupcakes with ice cream, and then lots of playing.

IMPOSSIBLE to get them all looking at me with their best smile, but I thought the picture below was pretty cute seeing them conversing

HOA Picnic

This year I took the kids to our HOA’s annual picnic. With Taylor’s new schedule, he now has to work every Saturday so he couldn’t make it. Although, don’t feel too sorry for him. He had a BBQ at work that day as well.

We sat down to eat as soon as we arrived. It was nice. There wasn’t any lines which made it easier dishing up 4 plates. They had the usual hamburgers, hotdogs, chili, potato salad, a couple different drinks, and even cake. The best part was everything was free!

They had this nice lady to do face painting. Although, Peyton didn’t get it on her face, but on her arm.

036

Yep, she loved it!

041

There were 4 large bouncy castles to play in.

Even a man who could make balloon animals. Ashton got this spider thing.

Peyton got a ballerina. I just didn’t know it was going to be a busty ballerina.

063

Kipton got an airplane. He was napping when I took these photos. After Little League opening day ceremonies and then this picnic and without Taylor to help I was pretty exhausted and so was he.
