April 2018

We started off this month with our Easter celebration. We were leaving for Mexico on Easter Sunday so we talked to the Easter Bunny and asked him to come a day early just for us! He agreed! The girls got a little Easter egg hunt and a super cute basket.






The next morning we were off to Mexico for our spring break vacation with our friends the Cooks. The girls did an amazing job traveling and the weather was fabulous! The resort and the beach weren't perfect by any means, but the kids had a great time! 


































































When we got back from Mexico I noticed a lot of our flowers and trees in our yard started blooming. As I was going around taking pictures I noticed a robin's nest in the rafters of our side porch. I decided to set up our security camera so we could watch the mommy bird's progress. For the first few days the nest was empty, but eventually, she laid 3 blue eggs! The mama is in there pretty much all the time now so we are hoping to be able to see the whole process. I am not sure who is more excited the kids or me! 









I took the girls to a birthday party for a boy in their class. The party was at the park and there were a ton of those big fat carpenter bees around. Everly was petrified and wouldn't let me put her down. Eden was trying to catch one to pet it. Eden let me snap a few pictures of her too! So cute! 




Our annual trip to the eye doctor this month got a little funny when the girls got their eyes dilated. They really wanted to see what their pupils looked like, but obviously couldn't so we took selfies so I could show them later. So funny! 



Eden fell asleep in the car on the way home with those funny sunglasses on!

We got to do a little costume try on for the twins first dance recital. They will be little duckies. So cute! I can't wait for the performance! 





We had a few house projects get underway this month. We had the kitchen, keeping room and eat in painted. We are also getting a new master closet. We tore out everything in there, it is being painted with new light fixtures installed and a whole new system put in. We are about 1/2 way through the process and the rest will be finished early next month. We can't wait! 




The girls and I planted some spring flowers on our deck. We can't wait to watch them grow! 


The girls had their picture taken at school this month too. So adorable! 




I had my monthly girls night celebrating Shadi's birthday! We had a great time as always.

The little girls had their annual Trike-A-Thon at school this month. They had so much fun riding their trikes, eating snow cones and getting tattoos! 
















The whole family did a race this month for CURE, the premier childhood cancer research foundation in Atlanta. Our friends, Dayna and Allen lost their daughter to cancer and we were so thankful to be on their Haley's Heroes team this year! The whole family did the 2K race and the little girls did the Tot Trot. We had lunch and the girls got to go on a ton of bouncy houses. We had a good time and raised a lot of money for CURE in the process. 











We got some fun backyard accessories this month. My brother gave Tim a hammock for Christmas and it was finally warm enough to set it up. The girls got a trampoline for Christmas too so Tim finally put that together! 




 Here are a few random photos from the month. We are looking forward to warmer weather and the end of the school year next month! I also have my yearly OWE girls trip and Ellasen and I will be traveling home to Michigan for Kelly's wedding! We can't wait!
