Crawfish Boil

Our Sunday School class has an annual crawfish boil. It is my favorite activity of the year and we were all looking forward to it!
Unfortunately Chad couldn't make it, but Vance has happy to stand by me and eat until our tummies were stuffed with mudbugs!
Keller on the other hand stuck with cupcakes.
And Sutton was just content to ride his bike around!
There was SO much food!!! The best part of a crawfish boil is just the vibe of the whole thing.  You just hang out and visit with friends.  Then you crowd around a table with food thrown on it and just chat and eat. It's the best!
My parents stopped by to drop off Sutton (he had taken a nap at their house so he wouldn't be cranky) and my dad ate a little. 

It was almost a perfect Saturday afternoon, we were just missing Chad!

Coloring Easter Eggs

My mom is the best and gets stuff for the kids to color Easter eggs at her house every year. I just hate cooking the eggs and the mess but she never seems to mind.  

As we were doing it, I realized I think this may be the first time Chad has been there when we colored eggs. We usually do it during the day while he is at work. It was fun to have him there!





All the boys had a great time! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!!!

This & That

My friend had a baby and of course I couldn't wait to go over and steal some baby snuggles!
Made some cookies for them to enjoy too ;)
Sutton has discovered how fun it is to play with water and cups!
We had our first family swim of the season! Technically Sutton and I didn't get in the pool but we did enjoy the spa!
The boys have had lots of fun playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house!


The boys have started helping me cook once every other week.  Vance picked ham and cheese paninis. They were delicious and he was pretty proud of himself!

Sutton got to enjoy lunch with Grandma and Grandpa on a rainy school day. This doesn't happen very often and he was in heaven!
There are wildflowers EVERYWHERE! It is so pretty and I love it! I stopped one day and snapped a few photos of Sutton... He clearly loved it. Haha!
He eventually came around and let me get a couple cuter ones. 

 We have been using our Resurrection eggs to teach the kids about the Easter story. They were a gift we received years ago and I absolutely love them.
 I went to Purses for Bingo benefitting the Kaufman County Children's Advocacy Center with a few of my girlfriends. We had a great night and laughed for hours!
 The saddest part was I actually got a bingo but lost in the tiebreaker :(
 Love these girls!!!

I always know what toys Keller has been playing with because they are perfectly spaced and organized.

 Sutton usually won't sit on the swings but one day he let me push him. He was so happy and loved it!
We have been spending as much time as possible outside. The weather has been beautiful! The more time we spend outside the more I love my house and yard.



 I have been trying to squeeze in a little tanning any day it is sunny.  I am thinking maybe if I expose myself a little at a time I can avoid the first sunburn of the summer that usually happens. 
 I have been doing a new workout. I convinced Vance to try it with me one day and we were exhausted when we were done!
 Keller had a field trip at school.  I wasn't able to chaperone but I promised him an ice cream date so he could tell me all about it!
Keller chose to help make cinnamon french toast for his dinner.  He did such a great job and was so proud of himself!


 Vance had a friend over and they enjoyed cheese fondue!
 One afternoon I came home and found the boys just hanging out in the garage. It was so cute!

Chad and I love going on drives with the kids, especially this time of year. We like to look at all the wild flowers and look for animals. I took my camera and snapped a picture of this horse that was right up by a fence one day. Isn't she pretty?!
The boys love to stop at the park and play for a little bit when we go on our drives.

 I saw this on Instagram and I loved it!!!
 Keller has been begging to go to Marco's Pizza. Grandma happily obliged!
 We got Sutton a few gardening tools. He loves to play in the front planter while I work. It's pretty much the cutest view ever!
