SPRING IS HERE

Yes, I decided to come out of hibernation and post. I was inspired by a trip from Mom. She came to visit us for Easter and we had such a great time together. The kids were spoiled and so were the parents. Mom made an Easter meal, decorated Easter eggs with Cole, made him a robot named Robi, baked a cake with Ila and Cole for Cole's imaginary friend, Hammon, (who couldn't make it to the party because his flight was delayed,) and directed the Easter egg hunt which lasted all of 2 minutes because it was freezing outside. Opps, I can't forget the jello-jigglers she made and our trip to the Commissary. Yup, she is superwomen and I'm still waiting for some of those genes to show up in me.



Ila's Aunt Georgia made her Easter dress. You'll definitely see her in it again.
Ila Got a helment so she could ride her bike. Goodies from Grandma Loden.



Cole picked out these Lilies for Grandma.


Cole had a blast with these eggs. He won't let any of us eat them.


Happy Birthday Hammon! Both Cole and Ila got to take turns blowing out the candle.

Oh my goodness! I'm so happy you updated your blog, I could cry tears of joy. I'm not being sarcastic either. I love the pictures. Ila looks beautiful in her Easter dress and I love the picture of Cole with the worm. I'm so glad you got to be with your Mom on Easter. Maybe that's why you never emailed me back, even though I threatened to go all "Ila" on you if you didn't.
