Easter

The Easter buckets: I love what can be accomplished
with a dollar store bucket and vinyl cut with my Cricut.

We had a wonderful, but busy Easter with our family.  We woke up and the boys opened their baskets or Ben opened the Easter baskets while the babies ate breakfast.  We got everyone dressed, which was no easy feat. Especially, when that means getting socks and shoes on all four.  We usually pass on the shoes except for special occasions.

Getting new underwear is awesome or at least Ben thinks so.  Ben enjoyed going through all of the Easter baskets for  him and his brothers.

Ryan

Before we headed out to the church that Derek's dad pastors in Whitwell, Tennessee, we had to snap a few pictures of course.  We were able to get a picture of all four in their Easter outfits that I had so much fun picking out for them.

We enjoyed spending the day with Derek's extended family.   After church we ate Easter lunch and celebrated Ben's upcoming birthday.  His two favorite presents were the "Big Buzz" and the Mickey scooter.

Tyler

One of my favorite things about Tyler are his bright, beautiful, blue eyes.  

Ben had to get out his camera and take pictures of Tyler too. :)

Chase

Chase is normally easy going and very independent, 

but when he cries he is very dramatic and tugs at your heart strings.

Love his dark, long lashes

Brotherly Love

"Because I have a Brother, I will always have a Friend."

Watching the four of them play together never gets old.  Ben loves to jump right in and play with them and they love it too.  As do I!  He entertains them and teaches them in a way that I cannot.  The babies are enjoying playing with bigger toys and learning to move and manipulate them.  They are working hard to grab those toys that are just out of reach without losing their balance.  We are also learning to share toys and not take them away from each other.  I'm sure we will be working on that for years to come.

Ben and Blocks

I love these pictures because I was able to capture Ben playing with his favorite blocks wearing one of his favorite pajama shirts.  It is rare that he has on pants.  He usually plays around the house wearing a pajama shirt and underwear.
