First popcicle ever! Yummy!

Spring is in the air! We had a really nice evening last week so we decided to head out for an after dinner treat! We gave Olive her first popcicle! She love love loved it! Mmmhmmm!

Little Evie....oh how I love that button-nose!

What IS this?

hmmm...

Olive loved the popcicle and I was so excited to get this shot! She is so much like her papa... walking around with her tongue out! I love it! I love when something as little as a popcicle makes the world such a wonderful place!

Giving cancer the pink slip!

Last Saturday the girls and I did the Race for the Cure Family Fun Walk. Jason was doing an all day canoe clinic with the scouts so luckily the Palmers wanted to join us! It was amazing...something I want to make a family tradition of. It was very emotional and sweet, many survivors sharing how many years they have been in remission and many people with loved ones and friends who had passed away from breast cancer. Cancer is an interesting thing....one day its just there. I was trying to explain to Olive that we were walking to help people who are sick... I hope one day she understands how important it is to stand by and support those who are stricken but such illnesses...and to be grateful for our own health! We had such a great time!

Pre-race

Dylann and Olive giving hugs!

Sweet Evie along for the ride!

Even the local law enforcement showed their support!

Tough enough to care! One entire street was lined with bikers and their bikes...all sportin' pink of some sort!

This was only 1 of 5 races they had....the pink goes on f o r e v e r !

Across the finish line!

My little olive lovin' her gigantic pink balloon!

Sisters! and new hats!

Aunt Ardith and Aunt Charlotte sent us these adorable matching hats so we thought we'd try them on! Love them!

"What are you about to do to me?"

Evie was a little unsure about being pulled into a kiss....

I love these beautiful little girls!

EASTER!

Here are a few pics snapped at Easter! The Easter bunny came after naps and Evie didn't want to wake up yet....so she slept through the fun. Olive found her basket the Easter bunny had hidden and instantly starting cracking the eggs open!

We had a wonderful Easter! We started our celebration at church to learn of and honor Jesus Christ for the sacrifice he gave for us, his resurrection, and what it means for us personally. So thankful for this knowledge! Then lunch, naps, and the Easter bunny. So exciting!

Oh so blessed!

Jason blessed Evelyn Mara on Sunday. It was wonderful! We are so very grateful to all our family and friends who have been there to support us and our sweet Evie!

why we decided to potty train Olive....

This happened more than once....

She could remove all clothing, remove her diaper, then call and tell us she had went pee-pee... I think we were ready! Olive is now day trained and working on when we venture out and naps/bedtime. We are so proud of her progress!
