Love my kiddos

Some of our favorite things....

Thanks Aunt Annie!

Our great Aunt went on a tour of the pentagon recently and sent us some fun fun stuff! She's great!

Here's our family!

I don't know how we got a picture with both of them not smiling but I actually love it!!

And here are the smiles. Gretta's in this funny phase of silly, weird smiles everytime we say, "Smile", so this was as good as we could get with Liam smiling too. :)

Thanks, Aunt Annie! Just so TUTE!

We love the Bath!

Marc's new toy...

Actually we've had it for a while, I'm just barely getting to the post. Riding a motorcycle is the easiest, cheapest way for Marc to get around Post so that's what we decided to get instead of a second car. The kids love it! Every time Gretta sees it she says, "(gasp) Motorcycle!! Wow, so tute! (cute)".

Happy Birthday!!

Our little guy turned one this week! I can't believe he's already that old! We had such a fun day! Marc was lucky enough to have the morning off so we got to spend the morning together! It was great! We got Liam some presents but only gave him one since we are having another big, friend party on Saturday and thought we'd give him the rest then. But the one that he got, he loved but not as much as Gretta! We spend the rest of the day trying to help her understand that it was Liam's birthday and Liam's new toy. :) After Marc got home that evening we went to Arby's for dinner, (it's only 20 minutes away) and there Liam got to try out his first roast beef sandwich! He ate it up! He loved it! It's so fun to see him feed himself anything I put on his tray. My kids are both such good eaters! Then we came back home to give Liam a chocolate cupcake! He didn't really know what to do with it. He played with the frosting a while and ate some, but surprisingly, he didn't really want it! It was late and they were ready for bed, but he had about 2 bites and was done. We love this little guy. He is an absolute sweetheart. He gives the tightest hugs and folds his arms for the prayer, he waves hi and bye to anyone and constantly giggles at his sister. We're so grateful to have him in our family! We love you, Liam!

Easter!!

A week before Easter, our neighborhood community center had a big Easter party! The kids got a picture with the Easter Bunny. It was so great! I am so happy we actually got one with no tears from either kid! We had such a fun Easter! On Saturday before Easter, we colored eggs. Gretta absolutely loved it. Liam was napping and he missed the whole thing, which was fine, cause he wouldn't have colored eggs anyway. Gretta colored her own 2 eggs. She dropped one but the other one turned out great! She was so happy. She lately is really into choosing colors of crayons or playdoh so she really wanted a pink egg. It's fun to see her grow up and be able to choose the color she wants or the clothes she wants to wear that day. Anyway, the only problem was she didn't want to wait so long with her egg in the dye. She got bored pretty fast. Liam unfortunately took a bad tumble and hurt his nose, but he ended up being alright and we enjoyed a really fun BBQ at the park with all of our friends that night!

On Sunday, the kids wore their new Easter outfits. They were so cute. I couldn't get a very good picture of them together. Then, we went to church, came home and ate lunch and we put the kids down and then the Easter bunny came! Gretta was so excited to wake up from her nap after the Easter Bunny came. She couldn't believe all the treats he left!! That's how the Easter Bunny does it at our house! And then, it's a raceto see who can pick up the most candy, one at a time! Gretta loved it. Liam got in on the action too. Too fast for mom, I couldn't even get the wrapper off. We had a wonderful day. Marc gave a really great FHE about Jesus Christ and the resurrection. We love our Dad. I hope everyone had a great Easter too!
