FIRST Easter Egg Hunt

We started off the week with a visit from Papa!! The kids had a blast! The weather was so nice and we painted the carport one day. Here's Jude with Leopard showing off their art work!

Eden enjoyed the washing off of the paint better than painting :)
Krimson called to me from the living room, "Mommy, come check out your family!" They had just sat down to watch a movie. Sweet kids!!
This morning started out COOLED, but warmed up as the day went on. Here the kids are riding the "Bunny Train" to the egg hunt!!
Eden & Jude
K-girl!!
Adam!
Here are a few of the 7000 EGGS that were out over 3 families yards!! Our baskets were over flowing!!
Adam jumping to eat the bubbles from the bubble machine...in the air!!
Adam and Jude checking out the bubble machine! The girls loved chasing the bubbles everywhere!!

Krimson is at the right with the pig tails!! She waiting with 3 of her friends for Mrs. Lindee to say GO for the egg hunt! (Jude looking on at the left :))
Getting instructions...
GO!!!! Marc ran off with the boys, so I just got pictures of the girls hunting! They really enjoyed the hunting! Eden really started enjoying it when she realized there was candy IN the eggs!!





Here is Krimson with her friend Bella and their baskets FULL to the brim!! What a beautiful and fun day!!
We left the egg hunt and headed to Jude's soccer game and this picture pretty much explains his game...I can safely say his mind was not in the game today as you can see he's pointing at an airplane!! But he did have fun and always has a smile on his face!!
Marc and I decided that one of the kids birthday presents this year would be their own fleece blankets!! Marc and I got ours the year Adam was born and have loved them, but our kids have slowly but surely taken them over. We've decided we want our blankets back, so today I made the 3 older kids their own blankets. They had so much fun picking out the colors and "watching" me cut and tie them together! Everyone is happy now!! (Krimson wasn't for the picture, but...)
Krimson still not wanting pictures, but Eden wanted in on a picture and we gave her one of the small Cat in the Hat fleeces we have! We'll let her pick out her own color's when she gets bigger!! Happy Birthday Kiddos!! Stay Warm...I know Mommy and Daddy will now!! :)

Marc & Jude's Birthdays!!

March 19th was Marc's Birthday!! The kids and I got him an ice cream cake!! Adam is holding up 2 3's behind Marc's head!

6 years ago the Lord Blessed our Family with Kenneth JUDE Fager!! Today is his day and we are rejoicing and being glad in it!! This year Jude wanted a Super Mario Birthday! Our friend Melissa Shelby made this cake and it was awesome. (tasted as good as it looked too)
Adam made this special birthday hat for Jude and he wore it with honor. Adam was so sweet and made him lots of cards too!
Jude and Ty at Jude's party this weekend!!
Jude with is cake (and Becca who turned 6 March 3rd)!
Jude licking his candles after he blew them out!
Eden, Maia, and Charis coloring together after Jude's party. So SWEET!
HULK!! Jude LOVES the hulk and smashing things so this costume was much needed!!
Jude with his Batman cave and Krimson with the cash register!
DS game baby! It wouldn't be a party (at least for Jude) with out a DS game!! I think he was excited about it...can't tell??? :)
He really wanted these "spy glasses" that could see in the dark...we gave it a shot and they are pretty cool. He went to bed wearing them last night. I was expecting to wake up in the night with him staring at me in them....
Jude with his birthday sign...and eyes closed...how old are we?
That's open eyes!!
To complete the night Jude, Adam, and Marc played some Super Mario (notice Adam has on the spy glasses while he plays) :)
COOL!!
Had to get a shot of FASHION GIRL! Gma Vicki sent some stylin' shoes down for Krimson and she even slept in them last night!! I don't know if you will be able to tell by the picture, but Krimson is stylin' here :) Love this girl!!

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!!
