Little Baeo never ceases to amaze me and has me smiling and laughing everyday.  He is a big goofball and the biggest sweetheart.  I'm a little sad that he is already off to kindergarten next year.  Where has the time gone?

Braedon Jon, you are so loved and we are so blessed to have you for a son!  Happy birthday my sweet, sweet boy!

And I'll leave you with a picture that pretty much sums up my kids...goofy, crazy, fun, and sometimes hot messes.  Yeah girlfriend, I'm talking to you with your pants unbuttoned.

Easter...better late than never:)

I hope you all had a great Easter this year!  We did.  Friday, we went to Bao's class Easter egg decorating party.  The kids had so much fun!  On Saturday we took the kids to the community Easter egg hunt, and a bunch of Baeo's classmates were at that too:)  It's so nice living in a close knit community where the kids can play outside of school too because everyone lives so close.  We took lots of pictures at the Easter egg hunt, but that is where they stopped.  I know, no pictures of Easter morning.  Sorry!  This year Derek created a scavenger hunt for the kids and hid their Easter baskets.  They had to follow the clues that would eventually lead them to their treats.  Braedon loved this!  Adi didn't really care.  After all, she had already been up before everyone else and went through all the easter eggs that were hidden around the house.  I don't know how much candy was consumed before 7am, and I don't care to:)  After our scavenger hunt, we had a leisurely morning followed by church and them home to hang out.

Okay, here are some pics!  Waiting for the hunt to start.  It was more like a mad dash to see how many eggs you could get in about a 30 second time span before they were all gone.

Loads of fun..

Lots of candy...

And a little hand holding...

This is Bao's good friend Kaitlyn.  Since I train her mom, they have playdates about 4 times a week.

It's going to be sad next year when they won't even be going to the same school:(

This one is my fav:)  So classic, the boy is screwing around and the girl is giving him "the look."  Man, I didn't know it started so young.
