Easter and Yardwork

So I know I just barely did a post yesterday but I have fam coming this weekend and then I get to go home for the whole next week. I know I'm going to have lots more pics I will want to post so I figured I better hurry and put some Easter ones on before they are old news!

Owen at Aunt Susan's easter egg hunt. I was amazed at how quickly he figured out what to do!

As you can see he didn't waste any time digging in. He has a Peep in his mouth and is ready for more!

Such a handsome fella! Oh and don't worry I don't feed my kid king size candybars. That was Jakes (:

So I was in charge of rolls for the family easter dinner and I was scared because I have never made them before. Pathetic I know. But they turned out so good and I was so excited! I'm not exactly the best homemaker in the world so this pic is for my mom so she can see the finished product! Thanks for letting be call you a buzillion times Mom!

This past weekend we worked out in the yard a whole bunch and it was so fun! I love working in the yard, I think its therapeutic for me. Owen loved it too. He helped me put leaves in the wheel barrow, push it over to the pile, and then he though he needed to ride back in it himself. He wasn't always helpful though, he sure thought it was funny to run through all the leaves I was picking up and scatter them everywere! And of course he had to get his dad to chase him around and wrestle with him. Love my boys.

This picture just makes me laugh and I had to share. Jake checked on O before we went to bed and this is what he found. Ouch!

Birthdays, Babies, and Big TVs!

So I was looking through my camera and noticing it was almost at maximum capacity. I had some really fun pics on there so I decided it was time for another post. Ryan is Sam and Brandee's foster baby and he is so cute! (Sam is Jake's brother) He turned one at the beginning of the month and he sure loved his cake! We really hope that he is part of the fam forever!

These are the girls! Taycee, Brooklyn, and Alex were the official cake decorators!

Sam, Brandee, Taycee, and Ryan in his new birthday outfit. Wow! Whoever picked that out has some great taste. (: So fun!

I love this pic! But it scares me a little bit! I'm thinking if that can happen to Owen then I definately need to stop hanging out with Aubrey!

On April 7 Aubrey had her baby, Candace Carol Walker! She is such a little doll. Brooklyn and Alex got to come and sleep at our house while Ben and Aubrey were at the hospital and we had a lot of fun! They are such good kids.

Coming for a visit to see their cute new baby sister. Aubrey looked great!

So sweet!

Owen and Alex playing on the makeshift slide made out of a big box and watching cartoons on my bed!

So this post actually isn't about a big TV although Jake finally got the TV of his dreams. He has been saving for a long time now so I finally gave in. I don't know what it is about guys and big TVs but I could care less. Its just not my thing but sometimes you have to keep your man happy! So anyway this first picture is the before pic, but not of the TV, of the entertainment center. We were having issues about where to put the monstrosity because I didn't want it to be the huge focal point of our family room. Anyway, after a week of the TV sitting on the floor we got creative and transformed our old cheapo entertainment center into a new one! My handy manny Jake took out the middle shelves and used them to make it 4 inches taller so the TV could actually fit. It only cost us 10 bucks for paint and 3 bucks for new hardware! I feel so creative and thrifty!
