Monkey Todd as Lizzie likes to call him....he is the middle brother and ask him about a movie quote and he knows it. It is like the kid has a crazy sense for memorizing movie lines! He lives in Naples with his girlfriend Jocelyn where he works in Landscaping...hence the good tan :)
Kevin is my baby brother....here he is eating down the homemade carrot cake that we made for Wade's birthday...him and Katie (pictured on left) live in Austin, TX right now :) As you can see the child like Todd coming out...I don't think he will ever be grown up. And we love it!!
I didn't have one of just Brad but he is in the middle...the brother right below me. Brad lives in St. Louis with me...only one :) He works in logistics.
Here they are working diligintly on decorating Easter Eggs. Each one of us decorated an egg and I can safely say that I don't think those boys have done that since they were little. None of them are married yet and no kids :)
And here is Mimi and Pawpaw as the girls call them. A great shot of my mom Kim & stepdad Kent at brunch on Easter morning. It was so fun to see them and I know they are having a great time down there in Naples :)
Bella thinking she was ready for the pool at Mimi's but clearly not just yet :)
Group shot of the first night...I can't believe everyone has a smile on their face :) And me yikes..I needed to wipe the old mascara off my face. This was after an intense game with the boys in the pool. I through the little squishy ball so hard and so many times I felt like I had pitched 6 games the next morning I woke up. Wow I am getting old :) Todd of couse won the game!
Bella loving on her carrot cake for Daddy's birthday
Group shot of the girls before church....they clean up pretty well don't they! Love all their dresses :)
Girls in front of the awesome rose cross at Mimi & Pawpaw's church. Love this shot and Bella is actually coperating :)
This is my new favorite of me and Bella....love this little one :)
Hilarious thinking that she would like coconut cheesecake from the Dessert Bar....this shot is taken mid spit out :) She must of thought it looked pretty, to point it out with Ava, but not so much on the tasty side for her :)
Daddy with oldest Gracie...so hard to think that she will be going to high school next year. This is a great shot of them both!!
Me and my love :)
Lizzie and I
Time for the Egg Hunt at Uncle Todd's & Jocelyns :) They had over 100 eggs that the Easter Bunny had left at their house! The girls were in heaven as they walked up!
Before the hunt began they had to play with Ned the turtle...he has quite the animals in his backyard...couple turtles, frogs, cats, dogs and sure he has a few others that we don't know about :)
Bella is off!!
The girls both found an egg high up at the same time, so Uncle Todd made them rock paper sissors for it. I think Lizzie one, can't remember :)
The 4 girls dumping their good out :)
Back to swimming for the rest of the day at the house :)
Grace coated up with sunscreen swimming like a fish!
I think Ava had her goggles on for hours on end....the joy of a child and loving to swim for hours!
Bella spent most of her time with these toys poolside...she wasn't quite ready for the actual pool but she LOVED all these toys
She did finally make it in on the boggie board and had fun while the older girls pushed her around
Boating to Marco island for lunch
Beach Time!!
One of the last nights there....a little more tan from the original first group shot :)
Girls at the beach playing before dinner at Docs in Bonita Springs
This one is so fun...yeah that are all looking and smiling!!!
