Easter 2011

Mommy's commentary will be short and sweet because she has many pictures to share.

Easter 2011 was spent at Grandma and Grandpa's. Actually it was Mommy, Jace, and Lexa only as Daddy worked all weekend. Erin, Tom, and Keegan made the trip and joined in on the fun as well.

And one thing that absolutely MUST be noted...Mommy and Fabulous Aunt Kay ran in the Bunny Hop Run on Saturday morning....and KILLED IT! Mommy ended up being the 2nd female finisher OVERALL! She finished first in her age group while Kay finished 2nd in hers. Woot Woot!

Mommy receiving her medal. Ah, the sweet taste of victory.



The proud medalists



Lexa and her cousin Tauren...aren't they sweet?



Goofball flashing her winning smile.



Diva in a stroller



Ready for church!



She was actually pretty good at finding the eggs. Jacer, on the other hand, could have used some neon, flashing eggs.



Everything she knows she learned from her Mommy. She even managed to open the wallet (belonging to Erin) and remove some cash!



Miss Lexa being adjusted by Erin. She actually just needed an attitude adjustment.



All the kids on Easter afternoon



Mr. Keegan in his Easter best



Jacer riding his bike in the hood



Finding some eggs



Sweet little man sharing with his cousin. Keegan was thrilled by the way.



Grandma bought Jace and Keegan matching outfits for Christmas. Of course Mommy had to find something for Bean to wear too. The planned photo shoot was a bit of a flop.



Jace and Lexa running off some energy after church



Jace and Lexa in their coordinating outfits. Imagine that.



Jace giving Keegan some lovin'



Jace checking out some new gadget on Tom's gun. Lovely.



Jace was completely thrilled with his Easter basket from Grandma and Grandpa....he kept asking how the Easter bunny know exactly what he liked.



Mommy's little biker dude. Doesn't he look tough?



The End!

If you ever thought you had it rough.....

...try being Lexa for a day.



Just so you know...Lexa DOES NOT want the baby's hat on.

Road Trip

The whole family took another road trip last weekend. And by 'whole family'
Mommy means Ozzy too. So of course Mommy was squished in between two car seats in the back seat while Ozzy rode shotgun. It’s an odd sight if you happen to drive by. It’s actually even more odd when Mommy sees it in print. It is what it is though and everyone knows a 90 lb. dog should never be uncomfortable. Ever. Right Daddy?

So moving on….It was a great trip. Tom Thomas finally caught up to his wife and became a Dr. so the weekend was spent celebrating and eating. As if the two aren’t synonyms. It was most likely the last trip to KC for a while as the K Drs. are moving to Omaha. Boo Hoo to no more Drury Inn. Jacer will sincerely miss the 'All You Can Eat' Lucky Charms marshmallows. Mommy, on the other hand, would never sit and pick out only the marshmallows. Oh the horror!

Check out all the fun that was had.....

Jace posing with the grad



Jace just kind of wandered over and into their family pic. They look good with two kids though right? Get on that Aunt Erin!



Lexa taking a snooze with her Daddy



Running the halls with Grandpa. One would think the 4-year old would be the instigator. Not so....



Proof that Ozzy is the king of the world. Ignore the icky doggie goober on the seat.



Just a little classic Lexa for ya



Jace's self-portrait



Lexa ready to make some noise



Taking a break at the mall



Lexa eating. Oh boy. This would be right after she stole Jace's spoon and proceeded to dig into his bowl! She still loves her food.



Jace proving once again what a stud he is. He even shot webs in mid-air



More classic Lexa



And a little Jace



Getting 'carted' by Grandpa



For all of those not sure if Lexa has really grown....check it out!



And Mommy just realized she doesn't have any close-up pictures of Mr. Keegan. He is still as cute as ever though. Jace and Lexa will be seeing him again this weekend so more pictures are promised!

Cousins!

Jace and Lexa were able to meet their newest cousin this weekend! Keegan and Aunt Erin decided to visit Gma and Gpa's house so Mommy forced her wee ones to go down as well. It probably surprises nobody that Jace was in love and extremely gentle. Lexa seemed somewhat interested...as long as Mommy didn't try and hold Keegan!

It was a beautiful warm weekend so the rest of the time was spent playing outside, eating, and drinking Pomegranite Tequila...thanks to Fabulous Aunt Kay.


Lexa, ready to hit the road.



Jace meeting Keegan for the first time.



And Lexa.....



Jace hanging with the little man



Jace playing on the bars at Fabulous Aunt Kay's. This would be 2.5 seconds before he face planted.



Lexa, trying to find some trouble. It's never far.....



Jacer and Lexa out to eat. Aren't they sweet....Yes, Mommy is a poet.



Cheers!



The End!

If you blink.....you'll miss 'em.

Mommy figured it out! She successfully purchased additional storage....to hold something like 10,000 pictures. That should hold her for a while!

On to the recent pictures.......

Fabulous Aunt Kay and Mommy before the race



Check out those runners!! That's right....don't blink!!



Accomplished runners....



Photos by Jace....once again, thumb included at no extra cost.



Oh that Lexa and her water. She loves it!



When you got it, you got it.



Jace always has a hard time transitioning seasons. This would be him on the lovely 75 degree day....'but Mommy, I NEED my coat'. Okee dokey Jacer.



He is in desperate need of a haircut. Ain't no amount of hair gel gonna fix this!



Yeah, she gets it from her Mommy.



And she's off.....




And that be it! Until later!!
