pink lemonade cupcakes! they were a big hit!
                                                         (so were the lime popsicles!)

                   Cute sam locked himself in his bedroom for quite awhile... when he finally came out he was dressed like this! He said, " i am ready to sell lemonade!" such a stud. :)

eastering...

I absolutely  l.o.v.e.  Easter! It is so refreshing to pull out new clothes, the sandals, plant some flowers, and just enjoy the SUNSHINE!  SPRING was needed in this house, so we are so happy to have it here!

  Grandma Bolton made these darling skirts for the girls...aren't they perfect? I have never been one for the typical Easter dress. They all seem to look the same to me! When i saw these on pinterest, I called up grandma and asked if she could make them for me! I wish I knew my way around my sewing machine...but I don't. I am so lucky to have so many loved ones that spoil my girls with their sewing skills! She didn't want to leave the boys out, so she bought them matching sweaters and shirts! I think they look so handsome. Zach does not. He was mortified. He was a good sport and played along for the day.

                                   NOW BRING ON SPRING BREAK!!!!!

 bad part about 1pm church is that the sun is too bright for pictures by the daffodills....so the ugly fence and wall ended up being the only place they could keep their eyes open! oh well!

lunch!

Who doesn't love some mac n' cheese for lunch? I know I love it...although my waist line doesn't need it! I thought these pictures were so funny of sawyer eating his lunch! When bella the kitty sees sawyer in the highchair, she isn't far away. She just knows that she will be fed too!

i just came across these little gems....sigh....why did they have to grow up?

LOVE DAY

I guess I am pretty good at dusting off the old blog for holidays! I really wish I had the motivation to keep up on it... Life with older kids is WAY busier than I ever thought it would be!
a few days ago the girls and I had a mommy daughter valentine party at our house! It was so much fun...can't wait to do it again! 
Teresa (sister in law) made these TO DIE FOR CUTE SKIRTS!!!!   I am have no idea why rachel has on those leggings....not what I sent her to school in! I just noticed she had them on! thank you teresa...they look forward to the cuteness every. single. year. ;)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!XOXOXO
