Straight A's Lunch

Emerson has had an awesome first grade year.  When you get straight A's at Snyder you get a special pizza lunch and get goodies from the local State Farm agent.  For the 3rd nine weeks, she asked me to be there for her special day-well of course!!!!

Sofia, Em, and Jadah

The best friends being silly

Getting her key chain from Mr. Kyle-believe me this is a HUGE deal!!  We are still trying to get over losing one of our last ones!

Daddy and I are so proud of this big girl!

Happy Easter!!

I love seeing the girls all dressed up in their Easter dresses but what makes me even happier is that they know what Easter is all about.  Don't get me wrong, we have loads of fun hunting eggs but I love to hear Braelyn exclaiming "JESUS IS ALIVE!!"

I love their dresses this year! 

They had so much fun digging in to their baskets to see what goodies they got.

The Easter bunny visited our house after church and lunch and needless to say we had 2 very eager egg hunters!

Look how many I got Mommy!!

I got the most!!!!

Time for candy sorting...

and candy eating!

Look at her cheeks!!  I don't know if she had a single piece of candy left by the time I looked at her!

Birdhouse Fun

When Gransan came for Spring Break she brought the girls birdhouses to build and decorate.  We ran out of time while she was in town so we finally got to it today.  They turned out so cute!

First Soccer Practice

Emerson has been begging for months to play soccer.  We finally agreed and today was her first practice.  She did great!  She was actually faster than the boys on the team!  She is over the moon about being a part of the team!

Is she cute or what in her socks and cleats?!

I am convinced the kid could run forever without getting tired!

Creekside Egg Hunt

Our church hosted an egg hunt and Easter extravaganza at the Cook's house.  It was great-snowcones, crafts, face painting, hair and nails, and of course an egg hunt.  The day was wrapped up with a telling of the Easter story using the resurrection eggs.

The age groups were separated-I followed Em with the big kids and Daddy stayed in the front yard for Miss B's hunt.

She was super excited about finding a golden egg!

B was getting a tattoo from Karis while Ms. Tamara braided Em's hair.

Time to listen to Ms. Kelly and Ms. Jen tell the Easter story.

The kids had finger puppets for different parts of the story-Em was a soldier and B was an angel.

Hopefully blue comes out of this beautiful blonde hair!

B loves Karis!

Of course Braelyn had to have color in her hair too!

Pretty in pink!

FKA Spring Fest

First Kids did their Easter party a little different this year.  Not only did they do the usual egg hunt and classroom party but they also had fun games for the kids to play too.  I was so glad I was able to be there to watch!

Valencia, Braelyn, and Tripp listening carefully to the instructions for the first game.

Diving for eggs

Look what all I got Mommy!!!

Tossing the carrot into the bunny's mouth.

Cutest bunny I've ever seen!

Playing memory with Ms. Loretta and Camryn

I guess I will do just about anything for my girls!
