Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter this year, especially with the new addition of little Molly. Although the rain put a damper on hunting eggs outside, it was still a great time with family.

Here is our get this 1 and only picture that we took as a family, thats right, it only took us 1 time to get a good shot. And a little something for you...I made the girls dresses this year (yep me!), I did have some help from my friend Crissy, but I made them and I think they turned out pretty good.


What cuties!!!!


Here are some pictures of the girls with some of my cousins...Kennedy and Catherine


Bailey and Melissa...

RAIN, Tornados, and more RAIN!!!

For the last week we have had so much RAIN! We should seriously be building an ark, I can't even imagine how much rain there was when Noah actually built the ark. I think total in Bentonville area are at 11" at this point, there are flooded roads everywhere and therefore, closed roads. On Friday night there were several tornado warnings/watches and we took shelter in Nana Flynt's basement with the Addington children at one point. The kids thought it was really cool to get to go to the basement. Sorry for the blurry picture it was with my phone, but you get the point, right?



She is everywhere...

Just a small view of just one of the places Molly ends up. She does this crawl/seal scoot thing but gets wherever she wants to go. She thought she was big stuff when she got under the table the other day.

Our little slugger...

It was so surreal to see Carter out there playing his first tball game. I can't believe we are getting to that phase in our lives where not only will we be watching our kids, but our nieces and nephews as well play sports. Carter did so well at his first game, and he had a great cheering section there to support him (thanks to everyone who came out and watched). He was so excited about the game, and I am not kidding when I tell you he was inviting everyone to come to his game. Gotta love our little boy...

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!


I have said this before, but these 2 share a special little bond, and it is getting stronger and stronger each time they are together. They are going to be great older siblings/cousins to learn things from


You will see a trend with these next few pictures...he posed like this for his team picture so I think he thought he had to get like this when I wanted to take a picture of him




Practicing his swing...you will notice he is missing a KEY tool! Ha

Hide and Seek...

Our Sunday School class had our annual Easter Egg Hunt at our house last Saturday. The morning started out pretty chilly, but by the time we started hunting eggs the weather was perfect. It was a lot of fun, and so great to see the girls actually like finding the eggs, well at least eating the candy...

Such a funny picture, Bailey was so in to eating her candy but I don't have very many pictures if any with my girls. Thanks Luissa for sharing it with me.




Her first egg hunt...she loved it



Can you see the candy in her cheeks...seriously addicted!








Conspiring for more candy...and you think I am kidding

Eggs, Cookies and a little Play

We started Easter festivities a little early this year. We went over to our friends house last week to color eggs, decorate cookies, and have a little play time with Ella and Cole. It was a great time!











Look at that concentration...





And then after lunch Ella and Cole played....this was so funny he would drive her around with her umbrella open. They always play Chris and Misty, it is SO funny and weird at the same time



Zedonks, Monkeys, and Buffalo

Last week we went to the safari with Carter's class, I think he had a good time, but as you can see from some of the pictures he didn't want to get too close to the animals for pictures. Ha



See the distance...so funny


I love these 2 little people...and I love that they love each other...this is their pose these days




7 months and exhausted already!!!

Our little Molly is 7 months old, and is such an amazing little lady. She doesn't get ignored at all and I think she loves every minute of it...She does however

fall asleep anywhere...poor 4th child


like I said...anywhere






She loves her sisters, even when they steal her toys



And hates her hairbows...can you see her hand reaching for the band? Drives me crazy (this was at the safari on Carter's field trip)

Swim lessons

We started swim lessons with the girls at the Jones Center a few weeks ago, and needless to say it was not the best time in their life. I think the water was a little too cold for them. By the second lesson they did a little better, especially Kennedy.

This was before the lesson started...so happy. Ha!


This look explains everything...



These lessons are on Saturdays, and since Chris has been working Nana Flynt has been my other mother for the mommy and me class. Thanks to Nana!

Model in the making...

We had Molly's 6 month pictures done a few weeks ago at Bogle Park in Bentonville. It was a great day to have them taken and Molly did so good. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this first picture, it is like she knew she needed to pose. Enjoy!
