Here and There

I just wanted to compile a bunch of pics of the girls lately. It really has been an amazing thing to have 3 daughters and see how much their personalities are developing, especially Kodes. The girls love playing with each other and it's really fun to see how much they love to interact with one another.

Kodes fell asleep and her cute little feet stuck out

Kodes trying her hand at photography 

 She loves feeding time...

 ...and getting into her toy bag...

 ...and playing with my Tupperware...

...and being held at church...

...and playing in nursery...

...and learning to wave...

...eating her first sucker...

...crawling through her tunnel...

...playing her favorite game "Peek-A-Boo"...

...and of course showing off her 4 new teeth!

Ry and Kenna can never get enough playing with Kodes.

 

Ry loves giving Kodes a "ride" on her blanket around the house. Kodes will just lay there and laugh the entire time.



 

No matter where they are, they are able to use their sweet imaginations and play so well with each other. I'm such a lucky Mom to be a part of their growing up.

Spring Break To The Zoo

This week is Spring Break for the kiddos. I've been sick the first part of the week, but I wanted to do something fun with them while they were out of school. So me and Annie decided to take our kiddos to the Zoo....along with the rest of UT!

When we got there, it took about 20 min to find a spot. Then we stood in line for 30 min to buy 1 ticket for Bryonna (since the coupon didn't work) Then we waited another 30 min to get inside where we were able to get Annie and Brooklynn in for free with our pass. You'd think they would build some more entrances, cause man I've never seen it so busy.

Once inside, we took a victory pic because yes, we finally made it in!

Then we stopped to eat our lunch and enjoy our new Tupperware water bottles!

We then decided to attempt to walk around with everyone. There really were sooo many people. You could hardly stop at any of the animals because it was so busy, but we made the best of it.

As the day wore on, the crowds thinned out, and it was easier to get around. We sure got our gym workout for the day, especially in the bum as we walked up and down all the hills.

 

 

As were planning to leave, we stopped at the kiddos favorite place...the gift shop. We were in there for quite a while, but it was fun to see all the different things. And the kiddos had fun trying everything out.

After we got outside, we needed to get Annie to an Auto Parts Store to get her a cap for her coolant. So we found our way to O'Reilly parts where we filled up the coolant, bought a new cap, "found" a back-up one, and headed on our way back home. Thanks Annie and girls for a fun day. The kiddos got tired out, and we got plenty of sun to start our tan for the season!

Happy Easter

Today was a great Easter...even with barely any sleep. I got the kiddos up and dressed so we could take a few pics. Despite their pretty smiles, it took a lot of re-takes and bribes of candy. They must not have gotten a lot of sleep, because they were so fussy, but at least we got them (Ry even said, "That's the last picture for the rest of my life.) Thanks Oakers for letting Kodes "borrow" your pink necklace and to Mandee for the pretty pearl bracelets for Kenna and Ry.

After church, I came home and got the jello and deviled eggs ready for dinner at Dawn's house. Ry got a hold of my camera and asked me to pose. When I told her I would do it later, she said, "Well you made us do pictures all day..." Yup, DRAMA!

Then it was quickly back to the eggs...

We got to Dawn's and had the Easter hunt first. Last Easter, I clearly remember saying, "J, just think... In one year, Kodee will be here picking up her own Easter candy. Isn't that nuts? I know it'll go by fast." And it surely did.

It was a fun day and getting to spend it with family makes it that much funner. I cannot believe Easter is already over...
