April days were full of spring weather and playing outside! Jack and Joy loved the warmer weather!
(And mommy did too!!!)
Our big girl!! Love that smile!!!
Jack is so proud to be a big brother! He thinks Joy is wonderful--and they both light up when they see each other! :) Here Joy is 6 months old!! (Jack is 2 1/2)
Jack is trying to be like Daddy and Mr. James--they both wear straw hats to work in the yard and garden.
Happy Birthday, Jonathan!!! Complete with a yummy cheesecake!!!!
Joy doesn't mind sitting in her carseat at all! She loves her travel companion--her jingly pink butterfly!
The snake was particularly active today--Jack was quite enthralled!! So was Mommy!!
The Panda, on the other hand, was not so very active today. None of us were very enthralled.
Especially Joy. She was not impressed! :)
This was Jack's first attempt at coming out of his room in the morning totally dressed/ He had on three shirts!
Sweet little Joy.
Jack was not too sure about meeting the Easter Bunny!! :) He warmed up, though.
Joy didn't mind at all!
My 6th grade girls, who are now sophomores, came to spend the night again! We watched another oldie but goodie---Rear Window!
Jack, Joy and I went to Kentucky for Easter this year. Jonathan was working hard in the attic--we hope to expand our living space soon! Here we are in Grandmother's yard all ready for our Easter Egg Hunt!
Lucy has a basket full!!
Jack loves his Grandmother!!
Jack has a very special place in his heart for Granddaddy--and the tractors!
More cousin fun in the back of Granddaddy's pickup truck!
Grandmother and Joy--so sweet!
Grandma reads great stories!
This was Jack's first time to ever color Easter Eggs! He loved it!
Luke designed a very fancy egg! We were all impressed!
Easter Sunday was fun--and everyone was so dressed up!
Back at home, Jack and Joy's Easter Baskets were waiting for them!!
Mmmm! Jack's first PEEP!
Jack and Jonny practiced T-Ball out in the yard! Jonathan was so glad to have us home!!! And we were soooo glad to see him too!!!
Somehow all yard games turn into Football! (Tackles and Tickles!)
Wheeeeeeeeee!
We had some very, very stormy days in April. On this day, Jack, Joy, and I stayed close to Mommy's closet while watching all the tornado warnings. Several came through our area! We read lots and lots of books!! This was also the day that our road was swept away---leaving our road closed for months and months and months!!
Joy with her Easter goodies!
I hosted a "Princess Party" for any 10th grade girl that wanted to come! We played games, ate great food, and got up REALLY EARLY to watch the Royal Wedding!!! Soooooo fun!!!!
Keri and the girls even came over at 5 a.m. to watch it with us!
Unfortunately, the girls had to get in the van and go to school before they kissed from the balcony!
Joy was sad the party was over!!!
Jack plays puzzles EVERY SINGLE DAY! They are his favorite toy---besides his wooden blocks!!
A happy self-photo with my little man!!
Mmmmmmmm! Beaters!!!
Then it was the Boys' turn to come and spend the night! Jack was in HEAVEN!!
We had lots of excitement in April, but our best days were just being together at home-----hanging out together!!
