Easter 2013...

Yes, yes...I'm just posting Easter pictures....

They make me smile so, I hope they make you smile too....

Let me start with the food...well, that's what Easter is about right?? HA...(just kidding!)

Chris grilled fantastic tenderloins and then he made chicken piccata..which, I'm sure tasted wonderful! 

Everything was delicious...

anybody notice a tiny little hand!?!

 Sarah had put out paper and stickers...which drew Sam and Nana right away...

We started eating and I realized that Sam was outside with the boys....

 Josh was inside with his girls....  ; )

 Adam came over too! It was great to see him!

 Oh, and Bailey...with her favorite....

 Aren't these cupcakes gorgeous?? I believe they were carrot cake...

 the chef...

 she also made lemon meringue pie.. 

 Sam...she's a tomboy dressed in pink and sparkles....

 playing outside..seriously, their view is ridiculous....

 this is the beginning of us trying to get a family picture...

 :-)

 it wouldn't be a family without "monster" 

Happy Easter to you...

He is Risen!!!!

Happy 4th Birthday, Samantha Jeanne!!!

Yes, I know, it seems her birthday has been going on for a bit this year....

BUT, today is the actual day!! 

Sam is turning 4!!!

4 years ago(yesterday) there was a very, big snowstorm in Denver. It closed the airport and my mom couldn't make it back to CO from San Antonio and my sister couldn't make it out to IL to be with Josh while Eric and I went to the hospital! 

4 years ago(yesterday) I went to CBS not knowing exactly how the next day would unfold...but, He provided through my friend Becca(as always!) ;-)

4 years ago today we went into the hospital not knowing what we were having...I was assuming it was a boy...

4 years ago today a friend, Aubrey, was the first to say it's a girl during delivery(she whispered it so softly!).

4 years ago today I had tears of great joy and unexpected blessings.

4 years ago today the St. Elisabeth bell rang inside the hospital for a precious little girl that was born and our friend, Julie, ran down to the nursery to see!

4 years ago today we received one of the best gifts...

We love you Sam!

oh...and....look what happened TODAY :)
