Pictures galore...... in no particular order....

Okay... I am well aware that these pictures make me look like I have one child... this is because Keller is becoming increasingly pickier about when we can or cant take a picture! haha AND he is becoming more and more demanding to be the one who takes the pictures... it is actually kind of adorable - and he is actually pretty good at it.. especially if you don't mind if your head is missing from the frame! haha I love these crazy little kiddos!



This little lady- always on the move... always being crazy... 

A boy. his dad. and his trains!!! 

A snuggle session with grandpa Wuthrich on his birthday! and a sleepy little sister... photo cred Keller!

These 2 pictures.. even though the quality is awful.. are two of my newest favorite pictures.. why? Because Keller woke me up nice and early to hurry as fast as I could downstairs to take a picture of him and his "sweetheart sister" and then he insisted he take one of me and Sailor together as well... no makeup... messy hair.. but i will love and cherish it forever! 

You eat with your feet propped on the table too right??? ... and these two littles in their "cars" watching a movie! 


Neighborhood garage sale... our cute little neighbor also made cupcakes to sale.. they were a BIG hit! and sold out quickly with the help of my two little loves!


Twinning manicures.... and sleeping babes!



bubbles... bubbles.. bubbles

Best entertainment for children, you ask.... ohh you know ... BUBBLE WRAP!! they sat and popped those bubbles for a good 45 minutes on the stairs! ... and Keller LOVES helping me get our little garden spot ready!! I love that he loves it! 

Just celebrating her daily ritual of stealing daddy's glasses... and slides!!!
Well folks... that is all for now! 
Until next time.... I will be here snuggling my little monkeys!

a glimpse of Easter

I LOVE Easter-time! The Easter season is such a beautiful time of year full of so many fun little traditions, but more importantly it is a season focused around our Savior and the sacrifices he made for us. I know it is so easy to forget to celebrate the true meaning of Easter with all of the fun little distractions- but I know this is something we must always focus on- not only for ourselves- but to teach our little sweethearts- so that they may always know and remember the sacrifices that were made for them! 

"Because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so. 
May we declare ourselves to be more fully disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, not in word only & not only in the flush of comfortable times but in deed & in courage & in faith, including when the path is lonely & when our cross is difficult to bear. This Easter week & always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that we may be in, even until death,” for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death & when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone."-Holland

Make sure to watch THIS precious video. and remember the sacrifices that have been made for you and me! Happy Easter time!!! 

now for some easter prep pictures..... 

This little lady is ALL girl! Loves her skirts, lipsticks, and purses! 

All of the Thomas grandkids at grandma and grandpa's house! Annual easter egg hunt! 


LOVE!!! 



Their little imaginations make my heart swell!


As you can tell... my kids dont do group picture well... 



"EASTER'Y TREATS!!!" -Keller


Kid tested.. mommy approved!! 

COLORING EGGS!!! this little tradition has become surprisingly ALOT messier as Keller has gotten older... he is VERY independent.. Sailor is too... lets just says- a few eggs were cracked in this process... and hands were discolored for days!! But we still had so much fun!! And if yo uask Keller- We have "THE coolest hard 'boy'yed eggs in the whole world!!!"



Happy "EASTER'Y TIME"- keller
