RoAd TRiP!!

Andy had a 4 day weekend, so we decided to take a little vacation to Washington DC with some friends. Although the trip was fun, it isn't the best place to go with toddlers. It was SO hot, and we had to walk a TON. We were all exhausted by the end of the first day.  I couldn't believe how beautiful it is there in the spring time. Just gorgeous.

The kids feeding the ducks in front of the Capitol. This is as close as we got to the Capitol. It didn't seem that far away, but we kept walking and walking and walking and we just didn't have enough steam left to go the rest of the way

Andy's cousin Tyler and his cute wife Allison showed us around old town Alexandria. This was probably my favorite part of the trip. Virginia is Beautiful! Here we are in front of the

On the way back home we spent a day in Pittsburgh. We took this little tram thingy up Mt Washington and had an amazing view of downtown

More Easter Fun!

My Easter Princess

On saturday we went to the Botanical Gardens. It was a lot of fun. They had a ton of crafts, an easter egg hunt, and of course the Easter bunny was there too. But, my kids ran the other direction screaming when they saw him :)

The kids got their faces painted. Drew had no idea what was going and was a little concerned about what was being done to his face. After I took his picture and showed him what he looked like he was happy again.

Hope you had a Great Easter too!!

I'm still here!

Thank you everyone for the congrats and well wishes!! I've been trying to get back into blogging, but there hasn't been much going on around here. I feel like I am in a funk. I was so paralyzed for so many weeks with horrible morning sickness that I forgot how to function normally. I need to find my groove again! :)

Grandma Cindi called and said she missed seeing pictures of the kids and she needed her fix, so this is for you Grandma!

The kids and I colored Easter eggs today. Avery picked out this "cool" kit with sparkly paints for the eggs, and she was so excited to make them all glittery. After we dyed the eggs, we opened the paints and they were all dried out. Go figure. She wasn't too happy and said the eggs look boring with out anything else on them. She's been reading too many Fancy Nancy books...she is all about accessorizing :)
