Easter Egg Hunt

 We went to an Easter egg hunt on base today. There were a ton of eggs and the kids had a blast.

 

 Mya was TERRIFIED of the Easter bunny. She wouldn't 

even pick up any eggs until he was out of sight.

There was a local church that put on a big community Easter festival at the "zoo." I put quotes on the zoo because there are maybe 15 animals max. But today there was free admissions, free food and bouncy houses and slides. There were also carnival games and a drawing every half hour. They gave away bikes and all kinds of toys. There were probably about 400-500 names. They would rotate between giving away toys and bikes. We waited for one more drawing before we were ready to head out and go home. They called a couple of names for toys and then they drew for a bike. The name they called was........MYA WALTON!!!!  Mya won a bike! Here is the bike she picked.  August will be so happy with her choice in a couple of years.

Natalie was beautiful in her white dress and we were so glad to be a part of her special day!

Swinging Guy

We went to the park today and Guy went on the swing for the first time. He loved it!

Storytime with Mya

 August and Mya were telling stories tonight. This is one of our favorites.

Happy 1/2 Birthday Isaac!! 

I can't believe you would be 6 months old today. 

But that's 6 months closer to being with you again! 

We love you!!! 💕

(Below) I had to hide this one in here--

"The Preparation Photo".

Yes, I brought my vacuum to clean out the letters and 

yes, that's Sydney's beach shovel to dig the dirt away from the cement. :)

 We've been wanting to do that. :) 

When I remembered last night what today stood for, 

it was kind of a rough night. 

Luckily today, I was not left to myself.

Time spent with others, especially with friends and family, 

is always the time best spent. 

One of the best parts of the day was finding out that 

that Scott got to take a break in his recent 16-hour-day schedule

 and so we went back to "Isaac's" with him by our side. :) 

That was so happy :)

When we got home;

We have very dear friends :)

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Isaac!!! 

We only have a few years here in Galveston so we are living it up!

On your real birthday, we will celebrate you with some cake :)

By then, we will be one whole year closer to being with you again! 

WE LOVE YOU!!
