Easter at the Park

We had an Easter egg hunt with neighbors and friends at the local park. The kids went nuts! Ty took off before we had gotten the kids lined up. I had to chase after him and put back what eggs were already in his basket. Once underway, it was a mad dash. The kids would stop to open up the eggs and gobble up the candy before seeking out the next sugar rush. Needless to say, I'm sure many of them went to bed with tummy aches that night.

Can we start already?

How many do I have?

Troy, forget the beads.....there's still an egg!

They keep growing and growing and growing.......

What can I say, there are just no words that describe watching your kids grow up. Parenthood is a cult that you can not join yet even understand until the little munchkins are at your heels. Time flies between the birthday parties. I embrace this change because realistically I have no choice. One day your are holding that newborn in your arms and the next they are ready to go to school not to mention college. There are bad days that come with this endless job as a parent but the good ones can be mind blowing. For instance, seeing your oldest hug and kiss his brother or help him out of a jam. Sure, they come to blows with one another too. I try to focus on the other I think b/c its sweeter. Another would be realizing that Troy understands what I'm asking him to do. Like "go get your slippers" and he actually goes and brings me his slippers. Its the simple stuff that makes me smile. These are just a few shots captured during our weekday outings.

"Watch out I know Kung Fu"

Those are mighty big slippers!

"Yogurt is Yummy"

I actually got a pic with both of them smiling. Amazing!
