Playgroup at the arboretum

For playgroup on April 6, we headed to the Mercer Arboretum--a beautiful place with huge gardens, walking trails, bike trails, a park, and even a canoe launch. We spent most of our time walking around the blooming gardens before heading to the park for lunch. I went at the end of January when nothing was in bloom and was blown away with how gorgeous this place was! Flowers everywhere! I'm already planning on doing our next family portrait there.

Don't worry--this is the first time I got the camera out and Megan immediately hid her face and yelled "All done camera!". Great. But I managed to get a few cute pictures despite Megan refusing to ham it up for the camera.


Megan, Kate, and the bluebonnets (the Texas state flower--they are in bloom all over right now)


Megan's favorite game--CHASE!


Megan, Kate, and Megan




I love that Kate is flying in this one!






Almost all the kids (minus a few babies)




Brooke and her ward twin, Hayze (born the same day)--they were troopers hanging out in the strollers while the big kids ran around


Megan, 29 months and Brooke, almost 9 months

Easter...

Decorating eggs on 4/2/10 with the cousins at Shad's house (my brother)



All the eggs lined up on April 3, waiting for the Easter Bunny to say "go!" so the kids can run around like crazy for 2 minutes til all the eggs are gone




Brooke was supervising nearby


Ready to go watch some conference...


The Easter Bunny came (April 4, 2010)!



First egg--do you think she's excited?



She's really good at recognizing capital "M"--she knows that basket is for her!


Enjoying candy


Enjoying new toys


Enjoying naps before lunch


But not all of us were sleeping...


Between sessions on Easter Sunday, my family came over for a little Easter Egg hunting.


Brooke was thrilled to see everyone (as usual--how can I have 2 Momma's girls?)


Sweet Momma's girls...


Megan was good at finding the eggs this time...



We had a great conference weekend and enjoyed celebrating Easter with family and friends. We are so thankful for the hope we feel from the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ and hope you got to enjoy the peace of the Easter season as well.

Two, too cute

Oh my goodness. These little girls are growing like weeds! Here are some pictures just for fun--I can't resist.
