Holiday weekends are always so much fun, but the older your kids get (and the more you’re reproducing), the more exhausting they are! But let’s not fixate on the exhausting part - on to some pictures!
Saturday we colored eggs with Conner which, I don’t know why I was surprised, but he made a mess. After explaining twenty times that you gently place the egg in the colored water, not hold it up high and let it cannonball in, he still wasn’t getting it but look at that face - having so much fun!
I really can’t wait until he’s a little older and we can dive into some seriously fun art projects together.
Every Easter we gather at my parents house for lunch and a good ol’ Easter egg hunt. It’s still a concept that is lost on him right now, but with a little direction he found all his eggs (and a few for that were meant for the big kids, too - hey, if you lose out to a two-year old I don’t feel bad for you).
And the fun part - finding out what’s inside the eggs.
I said I would post a hair pic, and as you can see it’s really anticlimactic. Just a trim, she did cut longer bangs which I hate, but I always think it’ll be different this time and it never is and two days later I’m styling and clipping them to the side. I had a before picture, which got lost when my hard-drive went berserk a few weeks ago, so here’s a pic of it at Christmas (which nothing had changed from then anyways):
And after:
Hello sunshine! It’s not that much of a difference but having had it darker for four years it was quite an adjustment. I wanted to go really blonde, but thought I needed to ease into the water, not dive in head-first esp. since pregnancy sends my indecisiveness to the tenth degree. And then here’s a 25-week belly shot just for funsies. Hope you all had a fabulous holiday!

I LOVE the hair! L-O-V-E it! As if I had a divine inspiration, I leaned over to HH in church on Sunday morning & said “I’m ready to go back blonde– really blonde. And I’m doing it this week.” Actually, there was a girl with rockin’ blonde highlights sitting in front of us and I figure God himself placed her there. I felt the Spirit move.
It looks like Conner had a blast with the eggs!!

Hey! Love the hair. Do you use a straightener? It looks great. In the one picture of you, where you can’t see your belly, you don’t even look pregnant! your looking awesome. Love the shirt too!
And Connor is such a cutie. I can’t wait to meet Max and see pictures of them two together. i think i’m going to try to start letting peyton’s hair grow out some like connor’s is. i don’t like how they cut peyton’s hair and he looks so much older! i like keeping it longer, makes him look more like my little guy!
