Goree Picnic

I have to say I'm slacking in the photos department lately.  With the twins it's just enough that we get to where we are going lately let alone trying to capture pictures. 

 

But we had a great night at the Goree picnic.  Here is Hettie and Halle they are not quite 2 months apart.  They both have the same middle name Marie. I love that Hettie is going to have a cousin her age to grow up with.

Unfortunately the big kids decided to roll around in the grass and they all got bit by fire ants.  Poor Sadie was COVERED! This picture is even after an allegra that Susie gave her at the park.

We gave her a bath and this picture is after the bath.  Poor thing we had to get cream to put on it and it still took forever for the bites to go away.

Stop Over in Etna

It would not be a completed trip to Etna if we didn't stop at Dotty's! I used to work here in High School and I have very fond memories of this place.

Here is 1/2 a Cattlemen's Sandwich and fries with cheese.  Not pictured a Raspberry milkshake...It was already gone.  haha.

It was a little warmer than the twins were used too so we stripped them down and kept them cool.  I love Hettie's face in this picture...she was actually sound asleep.

Giving the twins some love.

Here I am in all my glory.  Ugh I'm huge but that's ok.  I'm 34 weeks pregnant with twins so I think it's allowed.  Right?!

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny left Sadie a giant caterpillar and a pink bunny basket filled with goodies.

Sadie and Daddy making sure all the eggs got picked up.

Sadie with the eggs with her name Hettie's name and Gus aka Auggie's name (we didn't have enough letters to do Auggie just Gus.)

A New Tradition

Thanks to Pintrest we have a new Tradition in our house.  I found this idea here. The night before Easter we (Daddy and I) filled some plastic eggs with glow sticks and hid them for Miss Sadie to find.  She that this was the coolest thing ever.

Not the best picture but here is a picture of the glow in the dark Easter eggs.

Coloring Easter Eggs 2012

It seems that everything these days are getting left to the last minute.  Coloring our Easter eggs for tomorrow is no exception.

Here is Miss Sadie getting things set up with her Daddy. (Thank you to Kelley, a co-worker of Steve's, for the wonderful Easter Egg dye set. Otherwise it may not have gotten done.)

She is a pro at dying eggs...just ask her.

After a couple of eggs someone got bored and left the dying of the rest up to Daddy as Mommy couldn't reach the table.

After a quick change to put on a long sleeve shirt she was back at it with Daddy.

My beautiful girl!

Auggie and Henrietta were there in spirit.  They also made their presence known by kicking the table.

CALM Lights

We met up with our friends the Fieldsted family at CALM to see the beautiful Christmas lights.  Sadie was so excited when we pulled into the parking lot.  There were so many lights she didn't know which way to look.

They had a carousel set up in the entrance of the zoo and Sadie LOVED it.  It wasn't your typical carousel it was a very fast moving carousel which added to the girls excitement.

I love this picture because it shows just what kind of relationship these girls have.  They truly are best friends and I love that.

We walked around the entire zoo and everything was decked out with lights.  It was amazing.  It is definitely a new family tradition...even though it was rather cold.

Here is Susie Q waiting in line with Emi for the train.

Nina and Sadie waiting anxiously for their turn on the train to see the lights.

Sadie on the train extremely excited to get going.

We stopped by the Chevron exhibit so we could get a picture.  You think they could get any further away from eachother?  haha.

Easter Sunday

Can you believe how big she has gotten? I can't! I just love this picture. Looks like I planned it right?
My sweet angel

This was after Church so she was a little tired

Our Easter best.

Love my baby girl!

After Sadie had a nap we went outside to discover the Easter Bunny did come to our house.

She LOVED looking for all the eggs.

And LOVED opening all the plastic ones to see what was inside.

Here she is with her loot...oh and Strawberry Shortcake who helped.

After we were done inside we came in to find the Easter Bunny had left one more thing for us.

Yep...Introducing Baby Cupcake.

She has had a lot of fun with her new baby. Oh and the Easter Bunny didn't forget Mommy and Daddy. Mommy got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One and Daddy got a gift card for his game. All in all a pretty nice and low key day.
