Easter 2012

I'd planned on ditching Jamon and heading to LA & TX for Easter, but due to $3.70 gas that didn't happen. :( 

It all worked out well though, it was great to spend a few "Study Free" days with Jamon! He gets home just in time for bed time 6 days of the week so I know the kids enjoyed having their Dad around!  

We spend the Saturday before Easter at a BBQ with some friends and had so much fun! Easter Egg Hunt included! 

Getting lined up for the big hunt!

Molly's goofy "excited" face :)

David's "I couldn't care less" face

Are there eggs over here?

Jelly beans!

Loving the swings!

 

Easter Morning was fun too! Molly was so excited that the Easter Bunny was coming to visit her and leave her treats in her eggs! 

All the goodies!

 Trying to open the paper mache' eggs!

( I got all crafty -thanks Pinterest - and paper mache'd  THIRTY Easter eggs! I over estimate my dedication to these crafts! And then the kids couldn't open them because they were too strong :P Who knew? Three layers of tissue paper with strings to rip. Oh well. I will probably make one or two per kid next year, but never that many again!)

My [mostly] sweet girl Molly

The only picture I got of these two stinkers together! :)

David and Jamon

I love this one! In a million years when Jamon has an office, this picture will be in it!

We are moving this summer and I am so happy! BUT I am so sad about leaving ^this^  We have so much green space! This is all right out our back door!  

David's over all attitude towards having his picture taken in his Easter clothes. 

Molly and Me! 

And then Monday came and Jamon went  back to school! We will see him again in 8 weeks! :)

Jamon's Birthday!

We celebrated Jamon's 28th birthday last month! - On a related note, does anyone else completely forget how old they are? Any time anyone asks how old I am (or Jamon) my mind goes blank for at least 10 seconds! It's pathetic. :)

Molly decided that her daddy needed a pirate party! So we got hats, swords, and had some fun!

A duffel bag from Molly and David for his Saturday morning basketball games

Ties from my parents

And a card from my Nana
(She always makes Jamon feel special that she remembers his birthday!)

Happy Birthday!

Snow Day!

We woke up to snow this morning! Admittedly, I hoped that winter decided to skip us for this year (no such luck I guess), but the kids were sooo excited
so we got all bundled up and headed outside!

David liked jumping in the snow!

Molly looking for some fresh snow to make snow angels in!

David headed back to the top of the hill with his Daddy

The kids LOVED the make-shift sledding! We never bought a real sled, because it never snowed (and well, we are poor med school people right now :) so we used this plastic-y mat thingy (ya know what I mean?) Anyways, it worked great. It was big enough for one parent and both kids to sit on; and went pretty fast!

Great start to 2012!

Ok so, no Christmas post! Lol, I will just say that it was fantastic and busy! AHND Jamon formatted our computer so all our pictures are on a DVD somewhere, and I don't feel like searching for it! :)

Anyways! January has been a lazy month for us! Getting back in to the swing of Jamon being away all the time and the kiddos back in their own environment. Its been nice!

Today is David's birthday!!! Since he doesn't know this (I'm just kidding here, Molly and I have been singing to him since he woke up this morning :) Well since he doesn't know that usually involves a party and Jamon has a long day today, we are postponing the festivities until this weekend! I MADE a pinata (which will probably be a one time craft ..... lol [Seriously though I was thinking "Oh I will save $15 dollars and it will be so awesome... blah blah blah. No. It took FOREVER. If I feel the need to get Molly a pinata I will most probably be buying one! ])

We did go to the zoo yesterday because the weather was b.e.a.utiful! It was perfect! There were very few people there and the animals where up and moving and fun! (Possibly a zoo trip first)

Theses guys ^^^^^^^ who are Kudu, were doing their manly Kudu thing and knocking horns and heads together which was fun to watch.

And there was a tiger who looked like he wanted to have us for lunch! :) He snuck up on us while our backs were turned to read a sign......

Anyways, great day and this is the only picture I took! Molly and David enjoying some fruit snacks in front of the Zebra habitat!

November in a Nutshell

Well, now that November is over I thought I'd better post a few pictures! :)
After the Halloween festivities the kiddos decorated some fall cookies in Bossier!

David preferred licking all the frosting off

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we left Louisiana, we drove to Ben Wheeler and spent some time with Jamon's mom! She did a most awesome favor for us! She knew someone who keeps horses and they agreed to let Molly come ride one!!!!!!!

David wanted a turn too!

This is Cliff! He was a super sweet horse and was incredibly gentle! I didn't think we were going to be able to get the kids off him!

I think we may have been to the park for the last time this year! It has gotten c.o.l.d. and it is very windy here (who knew?) Our poor thin southern blood just can't handle it yet! The kids had fun but we didn't spend much time there!
