ANNNNNNNDDDD the precious crayon dress smocked by the one and only, Aunt Susan.

that time of the year again

for our annual zoo trip to Montgomery!!



and this was my first road trip all by myself. the girls did great until we went back to Tait's for lunch and lucy screamed at the top of her lungs. girlfriend wasn't having it so we packed it up {quickly} and HIT the ROAD!

the greatest invention

{lucy on the left; kate on the right}

I need to write a poem, "ode to the bouncy seat." kate and lucy love theirs, live in them and can bounce those suckers like you wouldn't believe.


seriously. they kick their legs so hard that Wade thinks they're going to be swimmers!


precious girls.

singing and performing

we got to hear emma's sweet class sing for the spring performance at first baptist.


and since the school is closing at the end of this year, this is the very LAST performance ever. I choked back tears the whole time because we've been here since emma was thirteen months old and we will miss it. especially Miss Charlene who we are still talking about two years later.








And her cheering section: wade and lucy.


mimi and kate.

determined

some days I am so determined to capture precious pictures of these preciousnesses. today was one of those days!


{kate on left in pink checks; lucy on right in toile}


they are constantly touching each other which I happen to love. and they hold hands which I REALLY happen to love.



"mama, what in the world are you doing??"


"seriously, kate. why does mama have us propped up in this chair."











guess who walked in during our little mock photo shoot??



and then got her hair pulled???


ouch.

the bunny and the dresses

the bunny came and left the baskets RIGHT by the front door because emma did NOT want bunny hopping all around the house. she had very clear instructions.






and once again, our precious aunt susan outdid herself. she smocked ALL THREE girls matching bunny dresses. and these dresses should win the "cutest dresses ever made" award. I'm not kidding. of course emma loved hers. this type of dress is extra spinny which is very important to a girly princess.


since we're not sending the babies to the nursery yet, we went to church in shifts. I went to the early service and then Wade took emma to the later one.




and then we posed all three of my bunnies in their bunny dresses:


favorite picture of all time. favorite dresses of all time.




and then we ended our Easter celebrations with a trip to Miss Sandra's because she wanted to see her girls. what a wonderful day.
