Play Group

We are BEYOND blessed to have absolutely wonderful neighbors who have become some of the greatest friends we could ever ask for...and as an added bonus, many of the ladies are stay at home mamas like myself who have children right around the same age as Owen. Put that all together & what do you get...a FANTASTIC PLAY GROUP!!!!!

God is so good to have put these people in our lives and not only I am grateful to have other mamas to talk to & get advice from who are going through the same season in their lives as me but, as a parent, I am so grateful to have these amazing, precious children as friends for Owen to grow up with.

We have so, so much fun with our play group! Especially now that it's getting warmer, we are soaking up the sunshine, playing on the playground, going on picnics, watching the kiddos play in the sprinklers, and so many more fun outdoor activities!

Our Savior Has Risen!

We had a very blessed Easter this year. We started out our morning with a great service at church. It was so wonderful & humbling to reflect on how much God loves us & how grateful we are that He send His son, our Redeemer, to die for our sins. Church was followed by lunch at my parents' house with both sides of the family. Tony's brother, Chris, & his girlfriend, Lauren joined us as well so the only people missing were Matt & Lindsey (who are slowly making their way back from CO for the summer so we're super excited to see them soon!) Here are some pictures from our wonderful Easter Sunday... So excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought!

Easter Egg Hunt

Two Saturdays before Easter we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at our church. It was pretty chilly that day so Owen had to wear a sweater over his cute egg hunting outfit, but he still had a great time picking up eggs and playing in the jumping houses. Both sets of grandparents came to watch Owen's first egg hunt (we were out of town when they held it last year & the year before that he was only 2 weeks old!) and a great time was had by all. Here are some highlights from the day... Little cutie ready to find some eggs :)

Let the egg hunting begin!

And little one has a name...

So it's taken longer than we thought it would, be we have finally 100% agreed on a name for our second born son!

• Okay, side note: just typing that, "second born son," makes me feel so overwhelmed with gratitude...I mean, what did we ever do to deserve these AMAZING blessings God has bestowed upon us?!?! Answer; absolutely nothing. Our Savior is just THAT incredible. Wow!

So yes, back to the name. And it shall be...

Yippie!!! Just seeing it typed out like that...Love it!
