Easter

Dearest Colt and Jackson,

Easter was super low-key around here as we skipped Easter services for the second year in a row.  Y'all woke up before us (typical) and had already looked through your baskets before we even made it out to the living room. 

When I walked out, this conversation went down:

Jax:  Did you buy us all this great stuff?
Me:  ::speaking with sleepy-brain::  Yes.
Jax:  Why?
Me:  As a fun treat for Easter.
Jax:  Oh!  Thanks!

So, not sure where we stand on the whole magical bunny who hops into your house in the middle of the night.?.?.  Maybe we're done with that aspect of Easter?

The day was spent together but, instead of doing normal Easter activities, we played video games, washed the laundry, and worked in the yard.  Before you turn me in to the Easter-police, I want you to know that The Harycki Fam saved us by letting us celebrate Easter at their house a few days earlier.  They had their annual egg hunt & decorating shindig so that totally counts for our celebration, right?

 

On Easter night, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's house for a yummy dinner where this cute cake served as the grand finale of our "special" day.  

Bluebonnets

Dearest Boys,

We hit up two local bluebonnet fields this year - once with Daddy and once with Grandma.

Our first trip was full of sun but it also had plenty of wind.  While those conditions feel refreshing, they don't help with hair or eyes for photographers (I use that term loosely here.).

Despite low rainfall this year, I thought the field looked beautiful!

 

Colt, you insisted on taking a picture...I only helped a little - but this is your art : )

 

A few days later, we went on an adventure with Grandma.  I had heard about them growing on the lake's shore but had never been to this location.  Although it has a different vibe, it's equally as pretty.

 

How to get you to use a real smile??  

I'm still not sure...

 

We'll for sure visit this Texas tradition again next year!
