Eggstra Fun Day

On April 3rd Emily and Everett went out to the backyard to dye Easter eggs.  They got into character and watched the dye tabs bubble and fizz.
They also enjoyed Bongos and a few laughs with Daddy and Eliza while they waited for them to fully dissolve.
When it was finally time, Daddy and Mama just watched and took pictures.















After SO Much dipping and re-dipping most of them ended up very similar in color but they made a nice Easter centerpiece - cracks and all.
*the cracks are my favorite

April At A Glance

Life is flying by so quickly and blogging has fallen to the side. I don't want all of these wonderful memories and pictures to disappear though. I still think in blog posts and take pictures that can tell our story.  Here is part of our April story...
Emily's drawing class with Everett
the Easter Bunny

 Everett did an amazing job keeping up with our little artist, Emily
April 4th, first time Emily helps give Eliza a bottle

April 8th, bowling fun

(the picture above reminded me of a picture a friend had just shared with me days before...)
April 11th, preparations for Eliza's baptism

April 13th, they can't get enough of their baby sister
 April 14th, Everett gets more time with Eliza than Emily and he takes advantage!

 April 17th, I love it when they play this game - they play so well together and have great imaginations


 ...and they love their baby

 April 18th, new hats for the summer sun

April 23rd, interesting place for a sticker (and I have started to take pictures of the kids sleeping especially if it is a strange position - they love to see them)

 April 24th, brunch for Mama's birthday in Laguna


 ("the ocean feeds my soul" - my title for this picture is very accurate)
 April 26th, they are so sweet together, Emily is a WONDERFUL big sister
 April 27th, Everett has started playing baseball with his food - today it was raisins
 April 29th, the last week of April was very long with Daddy very sick in bed and Eliza and Everett spending a night very restless and snotty - I moved into the hallway so I could get to anyone who needed me with no disruption to the rest
 Everett is really getting into puzzles - he likes us to take out a bunch so he can put them back in

 April 30th, Emily's first pretty dramatic hair cut
(Everett liked the dryer)


 Gorgeous
 6 years apart and teething together
(Back in January Emily filed a complaint with the city park manager. On the evening of April 30th, Mr. Nix called her back.  After an animated phone call, she said, "they call me every once in a while cuz I kinda work there.")
Emily is drawing around the clock.  Thought there were some cute pics on here and want to keep it.  I see a candle, binky, bowling ball and 2 pins, hand santizer, a cupcake, etc
