April has been very eventful - Spring Break and Easter, Soccer, Carson's Birthday and Graham's blessing. It has been very fun to capture these cute kids enjoying themselves!

Princess Audrey kissed a frog at the Aquarium during spring break. Unfortunately, no prince materialized.

Here are the girls in the dresses I made for them for Easter. It has become a yearly tradition, and it is a fun reason to be creative!

Easter morning - Kate is "opening" her Easter basket! You can't see it, but the ground is covered in snow. What a crazy time for a big snow storm. The Easter bunny left the egg hunt inside, thank goodness.



Happy Birthday, Carson!!! He is now 6 years old. Since he has taken off with reading chapter books, he has really enjoyed the Magic Tree House Series.
He had just finished reading all 43 books and 22 research guides, so naturally, he chose the Magic Tree House as his theme for his birthday party.

Here is his birthday cake and his "tree house" for the party. We had fun using "magic" to be transported to many different lands and do tasks at each one. This was a fun party to plan!

So, Graham just had his baby blessing by his dad on Sunday - and it was awesome. Grandma King made his blessing clothes, and then re-made them because I ruined them. But it all turned out well. It was a very neat day. We had a fun family dinner after church and we really appreciated the support of family.

Speaking of Graham and his milestones - he just turned 2 months old!!! We are surprised with how quickly he is growing. He is a little man now, and fun to play with and make smile.

Our Life with Graham

Our cute little boy is one month old now! It has been a wonderful month - and we have loved having him in our life. Audrey yells "Grahammy" whenever she sees him. Carson has played peek-a-boo and talks sweetly with him. And Kate, well her favorite thing to do is be compared to him - because it always goes like this - "let's see who is bigger, Kate or Graham? Look how big you are Kate! You are all grown up!" She LOVES being the BIG sister!

Here is Carson on St. Patricks' Day - I was going to take a picture of the girls in matching shirts, but Carson took center stage. This is his mischievous look, which he sports often when the girls are doing anything together - and not including him. He is going to love it when Graham is older.

We did an Easter egg hunt at our neighborhood park. The kids loved getting a kick start on Easter - and meeting the Easter Bunny was a fun extra. Soccer has started as well, so our Saturdays just got a lot busier!


Here is Audrey in her Spring Hat! She made this hat for her school Spring Program - and is has been very exciting to get ready for it. I am just being introduced to this tradition in our school - but it is pretty elaborate. The kids also made Easter Baskets and prepared a singing and dancing event. The girls started by being escorted by a boy, choreographed to music and their names were announced as they entered the room. "Audrey Iverson escorted by Henry Lawson". Audrey shone as she sang and danced. She really knows how to look excited and energetic. It was a pleasure to watch.
Well - today is the first day of spring break - and the kids built a snowman in all of the snow we are receiving. Spring weather is fickle. We are enjoying the weather humor.
