I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, filled with the joys God intends for us and gratitude for the Resurrection. While we were unable to go to church due to Colin's work schedule and the timing of our church's service, we spent a lot of time remembering all that Jesus did for us. We had a little Easter egg hunt for Dylan in the back yard and Grandma and Grandpa got him what he considered an awesome Easter basket with three little cars and one giant car. Needless to say, Mommy is hating the giant car because he runs it in to everything. Here are some pictures.

Thank you so much to Lynn for throwing my baby shower, Angela for the fun games and everyone else for the wonderful gifts and for taking the time to celebrate the coming of our newest family member! Here are a few pictures from the shower!

We planned Dylan's birthday party really early in the month so we could avoid the potential of canceling it just in case Baby decided to come that particular day. It was a bit of a bummer because it was BEAUTIFUL all week, rained the day of his party and then was sunny and beautiful again the next day. So instead of putting up all his tents and tunnels in the backyard, we pulled out his train table and let the kids go crazy. Emily made cupcakes instead of birthday cake for Dylan and covered them with orange frosting and gummy worms. All in all, it was a great day. The gift of the afternoon was the sand and water table the Jacky got for Dylan. You can see it in the pictures below since Dylan and Ava decided to climb in it and nap when they came down off their sugar highs.

So we don't have many pictures of the animals since Dylan and Ava weren't all that into the animals but here are some really cute pictures of the kids holding hands, Dylan being scared of the deer (or antelope or whatever it was) in the petting zoo, and Dylan and Daddy.
