Catchin' up...

Yeah, so I've slacked off...again! But, today's a new day and I'm feelin' the need for bloggin'!

Here's a catch up of what's been going on, picture style!

Jadyn had her first ever teeth-cleaning experience at the dentist in April. She did GREAT!

She even got to help the hygenist clean her teeth!

Also, in April, Jay and I ran our first ever 5k obstacle course! The Warrior Dash was a lot of fun! We even had our own little fan to cheer us on!

Like father, like daughter...












Also in April, we found out a wonderful surprise that warranted new shirts for the kids...

Unfortunately, the excitement was short lived, as we miscarried at 5 weeks. We were sad, but praise the Lord that we were pregnant, even if it was so short. We look forward to trying again VERY soon! Eli can't wait to wear his Big Brother shirt again!

We had a great Easter weekend! On Saturday, we took the kids to a couple of local egg hunts. This was Eli's first time, and he learned VERY quickly! He is now an egg hunting pro!


I love this picture. It reminds me of what wonderful blessings I have in my life. God has been SO good to me! My cup runs over!

Easter Sunday was spent with family. Nothing says lots of pictures will be needed to get just ONE good snap shot when kids are involved! Cousins...

Ok, so I couldn't get this picture turned the right way (I don't know why), but it is too cute not to include! So, just turn your heads side ways. :)

All of this great weather has warranted several trips to the park! At the end of April, we had a family date night and went and grilled some burgers and dogs at the park while the kids played. It was a great night (even if Jadyn has an intense fear of flies that interrupted the happy flow of dinner time).

We've been seeing a lot of Grandpa these days as I (Shannon) have been doing some part time work for him. The kids love seeing their grandparents, and Eli has a special fondness for his grandpa. I love this picture of them.





So, that's pretty much what we've been up to lately, besides a little fender bender the kids and I were in right after Easter weekend. My back bumper had some damage (& is currently in the shop getting fixed), but the car who hit me definetely got the worst end of the deal. Her front end was crumpled! No one was hurt, thank the Lord. And I am also thankful of the 'tank' that I drive as we had minimal damage!

Well, now you are caught up. :) So, what's in our near future? Eli turns TWO in June!

Love you guys! Hope you are all doing well!
