Brushy, brushy, brushy...


We have two of the best tooth-brushing kids around. They love to brush their teeth!!! (it could be worse right...?) The Easter Bunny brought Greyson a "grown-up" toothbrush with guitars on it and Emery her first big girl toothbrush. Greyson has done a great job of showing Em how to brush her teeth and she is so hilarious doing it all by herself!

Eskimo KISSES!!!


Today I was loving on Grey and he asked me for an Eskimo kiss out of the blue. Daddy snapped a picture of my sweet boy and me!!!!

BUSTED....











The saying that the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" applies so very much to my daughter Emery. She has a HUGE chocolate sweet tooth. While brother and I were getting lunch ready in the kitchen, Em made her way into the living room and found the candy dish. HA! We busted her! She was so proud of herself. Well....I couldn't blame her so I had to just start snapping pictures. She was even going after the dark M&Ms....like mother, like daughter!!!

A Swingin' good time...







No explanation necessary.

Chalkin' it up in the driveway....











This afternoon Greyson and Emery decided to draw in the driveway with sidewalk chalk. Emery had a blast because it was the first time that she's been let loose in the driveway...am I losing it as a mother?? Greyson was less-than annoyed by the sun. (And no, that isn't a milk mustache on Em's face.)

Picasso...?


Greyson has started drawing "people". It is so cute that his drawings are starting to resemble something. Here is his picture of sister.

an EGGcellent time!!!!!
















Despite being sick, Greyson (and Emery) were able to enjoy the Easter egg hunt that Peter Cottontail planned for us in the backyard. Here are some cute pics!!

A scrunchy nose and a raised-bed garden....
















What a day!! Here are some pictures of us preparing our first-EVER garden. Last summer, our neighbor went out of town for 10 days and offered for us to pick in her garden while she was away so that things would not go to waste. Greyson thought it was so much fun...so much fun that mommy and daddy decided to give it a go this summer. This is borderline hilarious seeing how neither of us have green thumbs nor the ability to keep anything green alive!!! We're ambitious though. Once we have the "last frost", we're headed to the farmer's market to pick out some plants....tomatoes, cukes, yellow squash, zucchini and peppers. We shall see. Greyson had fun helping daddy fill the bed (with 2 tons of dirt!) and Miss Emery had fun supervising. She loves honking the horn in Greyson's coupe car....isn't she so cute with her scrunchy nose!!!! If only she had her sunglasses....

There are just no words....




to describe this face!!!! (She loves pizza!)


Eggstra FUN!!!
















We dyed Easter eggs this night. It was our first time doing them and Greyson thought it was fun. He was a little disappointed that there were only 12! He wrote some "secret messages" on some! I think they turned out pretty well! Tomorrow is Easter morning and we are going to make "Resurrection rolls" for breakfast. We love Peter Cottontail but want to also remember the REAL reason for Easter!!!!

Divalicious Curls!







It appears that Miss Emery's hair might just have some curl to it!!! Here is a picture of the back of her head and some of her in her pink sunglasses. She is a "hoot" in her glasses! Yesterday she wore them the whole time in the grocery store...she probably kept them on because of all of the attention she was getting. She is "divalicious"!!!!
