Washing the Car

While Richard washed my car, Brooklyn played in her pool, and I lounged around and watched them both!



What a Cutie!

Abc's

Brooklyn is growing up SOOOOOOO quickly!!! We were in the car on our way to dinner and Brooklyn started singing her ABC's. It brought tears to both of our eyes!

(Sorry for the bumpy video, we were in the car!)

My Birthday

Richard had to work on my Birthday. However, he still surprised me for sending a beautiful bouquet of lillies and roses to my school. Afterschool, Ron and Wanda took me out for dinner at Gringos!

What a wonderful way to spend my birthday!

Jesus Loves Me

Before we go to bed we either read a book or sing Jesus Loves Me from a book.

This video is of Brooklyn and Daddy singing Jesus Loves Me.

Children are so precious! Especially when they singing with total praise and worship in their heart!

Easter at The Wollard's

Later Easter afternoon, we went to my parent's house. Brooklyn got to hunt eggs for a 3rd time in one day!

 After Brooklyn found all the ggs, we went inside and told the True Meaning of Easter through the clues found in each Easter egg. (That was my sister's idea!)

What a wonderful way to spend time with your family!

Easter at The Veltman's

On Saturday, the night before Easter we dyed eggs, baked easter mini-Minnie cookies, and made bleach-pen shirts (or tried to)! Turns out that to correct bleach a shirt, it must be 100% cotton! Live and Learn, Better luck next time!

We (Me and Brooklyn, Richard's Parents, Carissa, and Nicki -Carrisa's Boyfriend) went to church on Saturday night!

We came back from church and dyed eggs, and finished our bleach-pen shirts.

 Brooklyn was so excited to dye eggs for the first time.

 Unfortunately, every egg she touched she broke. We had more eggs with cracks or crushed, than not.

 Here is our final result!

 The next morning, Brooklyn found the Easter basket that the Easter Bunny left. We then went outside and found eggs left y the Easter Bunny.

 That afternoon, we had lunch at the Veltman's and had an Easter Egg hunt and Confetti Egg War!

 Before the egg hunt, Brooklyn found an caterpillar! We had recently been reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". SHe was so excited to see a real caterpillar.

 We headed outside and let the festities begin!

 Some people (Vanessa) gave up looking for eggs!

After we counted all the eggs, each person received one carton of confetti eggs and were told the only rule is you must break the egg in your hand and not on the person!

 Some people (Richard and Devin) acted like it was war, rather than a game!
