Easter 2014

From the mouth of my 4 year old

Kate told me the other day.  "Mom it looks like you are fat because you have a baby in your belly.  It's mean to tell people when they are fat, so I'm not going to say you are fat."

I am not a liar

The other day I warned Kenzie not to touch the iron because it was hot.  A couple minutes later she walked into my room claiming her finger got burned.

Me "How did it get burned?"
Kenzie:  "I touched the iron."
Me:  "Did you touch it before or after I warned you?"
Kenzie:  "After."

I can't stop laughing about it, I guess she needed to learn the painful way when I say the iron is hot, it's hot.  Hopefully she also learned this mama doesn't lie.

What I learned, Kenzie is a questioner.  Never tell Kenzie "Don't jump off that cliff."  I would hate for her to have to learn that lesson the painful way as well.

21 Weeks Pregnant

When I was 12 weeks pregnant we took the kids to Waffle House (this is the restaurant they chose when we asked them where they wanted to eat) and had them do a puzzle to figure out we have another baby on the way:

Kenzie was the most excited, but not to surprised.  She had already asked me multiple times how come  it looks like I have a baby in my belly.  

We told the kids on a Monday.  Tuesday evening I asked the kids if they had told anyone I am pregnant.  Kate looks at me with shock in her face, "Mom, you have a baby in your belly?"  This girl is priceless.

Parker's Baptism

Saturday was Parker's baptism.  It was a great day:

No family was able to come.  Thank goodness for our wonderful Florida Grandparents who have adopted us and were willing to speak and help out with his special day:

Our whole family:

The invitation:

Lamb of God

Sunday I got to preform with a whole bunch of talented musicians in Rob Gardner's "Lamb of God."

These people were amazing.

Spring Break

Anthony's uncle and his family came for a visit over Spring Break:

 The week went by too fast.  The weather didn't cooperate very well, but we did get one trip to the beach:

 After I took this picture Mason said "All done, fly kite mom."  Then let the kite fly away:

 The kids played in the water for a bit, but spent most the time getting warm:

 Uncle Barlow was the kite master.  He helped get all the kites flying and let all the kids get a turn:

While the others froze Parker kept flying his kite:

 Mason and Kate could have cared less that it wasn't the best weather:

 So cute:

The kids loved watching cartoons every morning:

Cub Scouts

Parker started Cub Scouts this week.  He is so excited.

Love this kid

Mason's favorite accessory is his purse.  He likes to wear it to church, the grocery store, really anywhere he can show it off.
