Playing Catch-up!!

Eden put Krimson's boots 0n a week ago and she was so happy!! She was cool stuff in her cool big sister's boots!!
At church last week our Heart to Home ministries has a fashion show for all the mom's and daughters...Krimson was so excited about it!! Marc came home from work that night with flowers and a gift bag for the girls. Inside the bag were the purses you see Krimson with (I'm blocking Eden's pink one), Krimson's purple hat, bracelets, and a head band for Eden (she went with the hat though). The girls were so excited and we had lots of fun at the fashion show!!!
I got Krimson some press-on nails and she LOVED them!! She had a hard time keeping them on, but in the short time that they were on she loved it. When we were walking into church that night a friend of hers wanted to hold hands with Krimson as they walked in and she said she couldn't because of her nails....and it begins :) This picture turned out to look like a Michael Jackson picture I've seen...?
OUTSIDE is where we have been for the past few weeks. It has been so BEAUTIFUL here! Here are the girls at Jude's soccer game this past Sunday picking Flowers with their friend Kate.
Kate and Eden play so sweet together! Kate was so sweet to share her doll with Eden...all day!
Here is Jude and one of his team mates waiting for Coach to call them into the action!! Jude's soccer team is really good and all the boys love to play!!
Here's coach talking with the boys at half time promising the boys ice cream at the next practice because of how good they are playing.
For Spring Break we headed to a water park in Tyler, TX. We stayed in a hotel, and that alone is a vacation for the kids. Krimson and Eden enjoyed sitting in the window and looking out.
We popped popcorn, drank spirits, and rented a movie on the TV. The kids wouldn't have left the hotel room if it wasn't for the water park!
When we first got to the hotel Krimson claimed the chair as her bed! She loved it and it worked out great since I'm not sure if the boys would have wanted to share a bed with her.
I had to get this shot on film!! I got the boys a milk shake to share. At first they were frustrated that they had to share, but once I gave them 2 straws they went to town. Brotherly love down to the last drop of chocolate!!
We went to the Villages Resort water park our last day in Texas and here is what Eden did a lot of the time! She was sitting with Marc in the wave pool and fell asleep on him. He then gave her to me and I held her like this for at least an hour. Sweet girl!!
Jude wasn't interested in the water slide till Marc threw him down one and then he spent the rest of the day there!! We could find Jude either in the wave pool or going down the water slides!
Here is Jude (and in the next picture Krimson) waiting in like for the slides. They both had issues with cutting in line, but we got that cleared up pretty quick.
Here's Krimson taking a break and eating some chicken. She hung out with me while I was holding Eden.

Krimson was a wild woman going down the slides. Frontward, backwards, head first, feet first...whatever sounded fun she tried it. At the end of the slide she always had a big smile on her face and said, "That was FUN!"


Adam was the only kid tall enough for the 4 big slides and he spent most of his day in line for them! Marc went with him the first time and then he was on his own after that. He said they were awesome and enjoyed getting to go on them alone. He's getting so big!!

In between slides we would find Adam swimming around the lazy river.
Eden, finally awake and ready for action!
Well, it's officially Spring here! I finally got my first daffodil and I'm so excited!! Blessings on everyone this spring and all the activities that start to happen. We have our first baseball practice tonight, Easter around the corner, all our kids birthdays, and of coarse the beach!! Enjoy!!
