Just a couple of girls hanging out

Ella and Annabeth decided to enjoy the sweet Spring weather by doing a little artwork outside. It was so cute watching them hang out together I had to snap a pic. Luke was out there too but not sure where he ran off to. Love these two girls!

Annabeth's 4th Birthday party

We were so happy to be back home and have the chance to celebrates AB's birthday with the whole family. I invited everyone down for a little celebration at our new house. It was so fun. We had the deck redone and bought some new furniture for out there so enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

AB was so excited for everyone to arrive! She knew it was her party!

We had an Easter egg hunt for the little kids. It was really cute.

AB got some pretty cool presents which she was particularly happy about!

It was a super fun day celebrating a super fun little 4 year old!

Art night with Lyle

Its not very often that Lyle and I get to have a real date night...something besides just eating a quick dinner and heading back home. So it was really great when Lyle called me and said he had something fun planned for the night.
He surprised me by booking us an appointment at Pinot's Palette. Its a place where an instructor in a group setting helps you paint a selected painting all while you get to drink wine. I was completely against it at first just because I had had a rough, long day at work and just wanted to chill at home but it was really really fun! I hope we get to do it again sometime!

Happy Birthday Annabeth!

Annabeth turns 4 years old today! How in the world?? My last baby is growing up so fast! She starts Pre-K next year!
She is such a great little girl. We are really so lucky. I am very aware that our time having a little one in the house is coming to an end soon. I am trying to soak up all the soft skin, sweet cuddles I can while they are still here.
We had a great day celebrating with her! She has been planning to go to All Aboard for her birthday lunch. We were happy to accommodate. Here she is waiting for the train to bring her food around.

Afterwards we went to the church to visit Eve. So glad we are back home where we can go visit her whenever we want. 4 years since I have seen her. Heaven will be glorious!

 Pink roses represent Eve in our family, so I have been wanting for a long time to plant a pink rose bush at the house. We found the perfect tree...not really a rose bush but the flowers look exactly the same. It is called a Camilla and we found the perfect spot for it at the house. Right up front. Seriously there was a perfect spot open just like it was waiting for her to get there.

It was a great day celebrating out two sweet girls!
Annabeth,
Your mommy and daddy love you to the moon and back! You light up our days. You are really starting to grow into a pretty cool kid and you love your family so much. I look so forward to watching you grow up...just not too fast ok.
Love you,
Mom
