Easter & Arizona


Happy Easter!

Easter this year was spread out over a couple of weeks.  First was the consulate Easter party.

These two cuties had lots of fun :)



Asher was still in the younger kids group and since most of the kids were just toddlers, we had to hold him back a little so that he didn't collect ALL the eggs.


The next stop on our our Easter adventure was Gilbert, Arizona, to visit with Sean's sister and her family.  We are always excited to visit with them, and the kids loved it the entire time.

Shauna made the trip all by herself with both kids - she was a little nervous, but these guys did a great job in the car for 7 hours!  Her co-pilot came in very handy to make it just a bit more smooth.


Once we arrived, we had lots of fun with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.


We made it to this awesome park in Mesa; Asher's favorite part?  The climbing ropes!



He was awesome at climbing all over this thing!  Not a scared bone in his body :)




We had a lot of fun, and want to get back there someday!


Easter time part two!


Can't get enough of this girl!  

As a mother of three girls, Sean's sister taught Shauna how to do little girl's hair.  Here's her first pony tail, in her nice pink Easter bunny outfit :)



Precious.


Let the Easter egg hunt begin!


Asher was primed and ready to go. 
 I love the photo where he is galloping with both feet off the ground.




Everly even got some spoils (courtesy of her brother being more than willing to find some eggs for her with the tacit promise that he could eat most of her candy later).


Mmmm, candy.


Everly was very interested in what was in all the baskets, much to Asher's dismay :)



Cousins!


Everly and her cousin, Ellie, had a lot of fun together, even though Ellie was a bit weary of Everly for some reason :)


A little hair pulling, followed by one smug mug :)


Hopefully the next time they get together, no love will be lost!


This girl had so much fun crawling in real green grass, and roaming free :)


Everly and her dad have a special bond that we love to see.  They have a great time together.


((( Love )))








Until next time!






Happy 1st Birthday, Everly!!!

If ever there was a year that flew by, it would be this one!  We can't believe Everly Kaye is already one year old!!  Happy 1st birthday to our amazing little girl! (a few months late, blog-wise at least :) )


We celebrated her birthday with friends, St. Paddy's Day food and cake!




Everly's first taste of birthday cake...


A little unsure...


She squishes it, finally tastes it...


She likes it!  Success!



Some pictures of our cute little girl on her very first birthday.  Such a precious little one.
