Happy Mother's Day

What a wonderful day to show appreciation for all the Mother's and to reflect on those special women in my life who have helped shape me into the mother, daughter, granddaughter and daughter-in-law I am today.

My precious children and I celebrating Mother's Day!


Will's mini me

When I woke Wright from his nap yesterday he says groggily, "Mommy, where is my iPad....and my flip flops".

His iPad is his leapfrog tablet that he likes to listen to stories on and sing songs with. He naps with his rainbows in his bed...he loves his flops! Mostly because they were a gift from his daddy and he sees his daddy wearing them. Such a sweetheart!








Things we love

 Kate and Wright love to read, but now they want to read to us.  It is so fun to listen to them repeat words from the books and make up their own stories. They love Silly Sally, the Bear Snores on series, bible stories and Sleep Tight little mouse.
They also LOVE to ride their bikes! We ride down to the dock on the sidewalk, at the park and they ride the loop in the house daily. Today they both took some of their favorite (Kate her baby and Wright his stuffed dog) things on a bike ride with them. It was so cute to see them riding around with their baby and bear stuffed behind them on the seat.
They play very well together and also independently. I love watching them use their imaginations!

We also enjoy watching them dance and sing! So entertaining!

Easter

This Easter Kate and Wright learned about Jesus and his sacrifice for each of us and his unconditional love.  They also understood a bit more the concept of "hunting" Easter Eggs and just how yummy jellybeans are! We enjoyed decorating eggs, hunting eggs and eating eggs (peanut butter eggs that is)!  

Bunny Bait that the kids and I made for our family and the Easter bunny. We found the recipe on Pinterest and it was delicious!


All the cousins enjoyed a fun day at Gran and Granddads! They had an Easter Egg hunt and cookout, lots of fun activities, crafts and yummy treats! 
Grace, Caroline, Kate and Madison 

Love this picture of all the Dinkins' and Palmer cousins
Thank you, Gran for our precious outfits!

Easter Sunday
They had the best time playing with the balls in this pool! I love watching them play together!
