Happy Easter! What a glorious day! He has Risen!
 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead..." 1 Peter 1:3
 
I apologize that I have been absent for awhile. I have a lot to catch up. We have pretty much just been busy enjoying life. I just feel so overwhelmingly blessed each day with my husband and our 3 amazing kiddos. I just like to take every moment I can to just soak them up :)
 
This morning the girls enjoyed a little Easter Egg Hunt...


 
and Bentley helped them out...
 
 
Last night we went to a helicopter egg drop and then stayed for the baseball game. It was the local minor league team. We had a good time. It was put on by a local church. I just love activities like that. Just wholesome family fun and it was free ;)
 







We had fun decorating Easter Eggs this week :) I always love opportunities to dive in and get messy having some crafty fun with my girls...it will be so fun when Bentley can get into it with us...but I am in no rush..just loving on my chunky man loving this baby stage as long as I can ;)





I know I say this often but I just love our 3 precious little people so much and I just adore watching their personalities develop. They are each so wonderfully uniquely different. I just want to soak up every precious detail about each of them and just enjoy the time. Lately I have just been getting such joy from playing with Bentley and Whitney in the morning. Whit loves to play board games after we drop Mal off and Bentley is so happy and active in the morning that he hangs with us :) They are just so much fun to start the day with...



I know I know you want to have coffee at my house now don't you? ;)

Speaking of fun with my precious little people...I LOVE hot sunny afternoons swimming together... the other day we had fun with the self timer attempting to get all of us in the picture ;)



I love this one...melts my heart....these are the memories I will smile upon in my golden years...
"For great is his love towards us"Psalm 117:2

I had fun taking Mallory's 6 year pictures a few weeks ago...she isn't really 6...it can't be...okay I guess she is...ohhh my first born. I love her more than life...each of our precious children took and will forever hold a piece of my heart. Mallory my first born. She made me a mom. She changed me forever. I can't even put into words the swelling of my heart when I look at her little face...or as I like to say to her "I just love you and your little self"
 





I also have made several attempts at getting a cute pic of all three of our sweeties...thats always an interesting outing ;)






To finish up this catch up post I want to share some pics of my little cutie patooties in the fort we built...yes I should have been packing and doing laundry but some how I end up playing with the kids..I just can't help myself...so what if everything ends up being thrown in random boxes...I built a fort with the girls and ate popcorn while watching Rugrats....pure perfection :)





LORD my GOD, You have done many things-Your wonderful works and Your plans for us; none can compare with You.  Psalm 40:5
