mother's & father's day 2014!

so grateful for days to celebrate mothers and fathers.

being a mother is honestly my dream come true. i feel so grateful for these 3 little people who have been entrusted to me. they are fun, loving, forgiving and sweet (and sassy).

and i'm so grateful i get to be on this parenting journey with this guy. not only is he a fantastic husband, but he is an amazing dad.

and we've both been blessed with great dads too (and moms, we just didn't get pictures with them. darn it!). we're lucky we got to see each of our parents on these special days and express our love for them and the wonderful parents they are. 

easter time fun

easter weekend was full of fun activities like dying eggs (note to self: don't bother mixing vinegar and water to dye the eggs. stick with straight vinegar. the colors are way more vibrant), 2 easter egg hunts (1 at nana and papa's with the van noys & the east's annual hunt), and hunting for their baskets to see what the easter bunny brought (this year it was new pajamas and ring pops)! for the month of april, leading up to easter, we read (and reread) the easter story to help the kids learn the real reason we celebrate easter.

i love watching babies reactions to grass (holding up their feet so they don't touch)

happy bunny, sad bunny
