Finally!!!

Ok so I know I have been seriously neglecting my blog :( In my defense while we were staying at my parents I could not get my memory card to download pictures to their computer. Now that we are in our new place and I have my computer I hope to update a lot more frequently! So here a lot of new pictures and updates on what we have been doing for the last few months! (I don't have the pictures from Halloween or Thanksgiving yet, but hope to update those soon) You will have to scroll all the way back to December to get all the new stuff, Hope you enjoy!

Neighbors

We recently moved into a new house, and it just happened to be two doors down from my good friend Hilary! The kids love having Colin so close by. Here they are when Colin came over to play. It is so nice to have the Pangilinan family as our neighbors!!

My little car salesmen

The boys latest thing is wanting to be car salesmen like their Daddy. They like to put on their button up shirts and put one of Daddy's ties on. The other day Jackson sold me two of his hotwheels, one cost me 2 hugs and 1 kiss, and the second he threw in for free!


Here they are, Donovan even has some of Daddy's business cards in his pocket :)





Easter

Since Corey doesn't have very many days off to spend with us we decided to stay home and have a quiet Easter with just our family. While we missed seeing the extended family, it was nice to have a day to ourselves!

The kids Easter baskets


Donovan and Jackson checking out what the Easter Bunny brought them



very excited about his movie




and hers



Bella ended up finding a lot of the eggs before the boys were even done looking in their baskets LOL, here is her basket

Easter Egg Hunt at Heather Farms Park

We took the boys to Heather Farms for the Easter Egg hunt. They were grouped by age, so Jackson went with Daddy to one area, while Donovan and Isabella went with Mommy to their area. They had a great time, even through all the chaos of kids running everywhere!

ready to go!
