Easter

Jesus has risen! Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Sunday at church, hanging with family and friends, a yummy lunch, and of course, an egg hunt for the little ones. Here are pictures from our fun...and very busy (may I say exhausting?) day.

Is it sad that this is our best family picture of the day? Ha! Regardless, I love my little family!

Me with my beautiful little angel

Eggs & Easter Morning

On Easter, we celebrated Jesus. Thank you, God, for sending Your Son to die for our sins, so that we may be forgiven and have everlasting life in You. But the grave could not keep Him...we serve a risen, living Lord! Some pictures of Gabriella dying Easter eggs for the first time, and early Easter morning:

Very serious!

"I like this one"

"All finished!"

The Easter bunny came for a visit!

Kruz loved his basket too

"Mommy, aren't you forgetting something? Like...my dress?" Haha, this is how she rode to church...couldn't wrinkle her pretty dress! ;)

22 months old...such a 'big' girl now!

A Face to Love...

Love this sweet happy baby!!! Kruz at about 6 weeks old:

Randomness

Some random happenings...

Going for ANOTHER walk...we're loving them!

"Let's go Mommy!"

She tells me:"Put boppy on. Hold baby Kruz just a minute"

"Kissy hand"

"Where are baby Kruz's dimples?" "Right there!"

Gotta love these practically new red leather sandals from a consignment sale!

Big boy!!

Playdoh!

Fun with Daddy

Too Young for Tattoos

Recently, Uncle Cam has begun working at the tattoo parlor again. He's an AMAZING artist...so good at so many things, this just being one of them. So, I took the kiddos up there to visit him one day. Here are some pics of our time together. Don't worry, they are still too young for tattoos. If Mommy has it her way, they will never get one! :)

Gotta be stylin' to visit Uncle Cam

Oh, what a face!

Kruz and Uncle Cam just chillin'

My brother, Cam, with his niece and nephew

Stylin'

Haha!

Love this!!

With my beautiful Mom

Not a good one...but documented visit anyhow...

"Gabriella Dress Self"

Doesn't this outfit (and face) just scream, "I dress myself"?! Haha, Gabriella has really been into putting on her own clothes "herself!" and taking them off... She also likes to accessorize. She was so proud on this day...she put on her pants, socks, shoes, 3 shirts, a jacket, sunglasses, and wanted her 'pigtails' done. Don't worry, we stayed indoors. Ha!

Gotta love her own unique style!

Playtime With Popi

Gabriella loves it when Popi comes over to play...he's so silly!

I love this picture of the two of them...playing in her room. :)

G loves to play with her 'bows'...I guess she talked Popi into doing her hair. Yikes!!

Loving on baby brother

Soaking it in...
