Family Tradition

Teagan's 1st time at dying Easter eggs!

 Taya has dyed eggs with Grammy every year.

 Taya is ready to show Teagan how it's done.

 Teagan got a surprise when she cracked open an egg.

 Getting all of the colors ready.

 Teagan is not too sure about this whole thing.

 My little mixologist.

 Teagan's 1st attempt at dying an egg.

 She likes it!

 Taya is doing multiple eggs at one time.

 Teagan made a pink one!

 Wow!

 Anything taste better if it's pink...even with the shell on.

 Taya's pink egg.

 Taya loves her Grammy.

 A blue one for daddy.

 A purple one for mommy.

 Yellow for Grammy.

 The girls enjoyed the Easter tradition, and now they're eagerly awaiting the Easter Bunny!

Jamaican Getaway

 Where have we been???  On a special getaway to paradise.

 I got more sleep in one week in Jamaica than I have had in a month!  Every night we dressed up...watched the sunset...

 and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.

 During the day...

 we just sat on the beach....with drinks in our hands.

 We also enjoyed the beautiful turquoise water.

 Another beautiful sunset!

The last time we took this many pictures of just us...

 our honeymoon.

 Sushi in Jamaica!

 These peacocks were residents at our resort.

 So were hundreds of huge starfish.

 We had an amazing, relaxing time in Jamaica celebrating our 5-year wedding anniversary.

 It was the first time in a long time that it was just Bart and I enjoying each other.

While we were having fun in the sun...we owe a HUGE thank you to Grammy Sue, as she stayed with the girls and they all had a blast.

Princess Party

Grammy took Taya to a princess birthday party for one of her classmates.

She got to dress up as Sleeping Beauty.

A tea party for all of the princesses....complete with Cinderella.

Grammy, Taya, and myself all went out for the day.  Taya had her 1st ever shamrock shake and it was a hit!

Bart and I are off to Jamaica for a whole week.  While I'm so excited to get away...and catch up on sleep, and for Bart and I to enjoy some alone time together...I'm already missing my babies...and I haven't even left yet!!!  At least I know, they will be having a blast with Grammy!  Wish Grammy luck with my two non-sleeping girls....I pray the sleep fairies are watching over the girls this week!!! 

Grammy is Here!

Taya waiting patiently for her Grammy to get off the airplane.

 A big cookie made the wait a little better.

 Ya!!!  Grammy is here!!!!

 Taya the big helper wanted to make sure she took care of Grammy's bag.

 She carried it all the way to the second floor of the parking garage.

 Grammy brought lots of treats

Easter stickers for the windows.

Teagan loved putting on each sticker.

Time for a party!

Teagan's 1st birthday party!!!

Taya was ready for some fun.

So was Teagan.

CAKE TIME.

We sing one more time.

Taya shows her how to eat cake.

Someone is happy to be 1.

She just wanted the icing.

Each bite made her smile.

In for some more icing.

Big sissy getting in on the icing fun.

Teagan was so nice to share.

YUM!

All of us enjoyed the cake.

Time for her presents.

She liked opening her card from Grammy and Grampy!

Money for her college fund...we let her keep the dollar for something special at the store.

Wow...look at that present!

Both girls were ready to dig into it.

With each rip, the girls got more excited.

Both of them tearing through the paper.

A pirate ship water table!

Teagan already found her seat.

Thanks Grammy and Grampy for the great gift!

Teagan sneaking away with some pieces.

All put together and ready for some fun!

The girls are looking forward to a great two weeks with Grammy.  The only thing missing...Grampy!!!  We miss you!
