Happy Birthday to my old fart of a husband :)

                                                           Jason turned 35 in April.
I like to tease him about how old he is. Being seven years younger (for four months) I am entitled to that.

There is a lot of pics coming...ranging from cute, to funny, to weird. This one- Lincoln is upset b/c he wants to open Jason's presents. Typical. Little did he know I was taking this b/c of the bag behind him. He "wrapped" this present and wrote "too jasen from lincoln". I just thought it was cute.
PS- the correct spelling is J-A-S-O-N ...just to help ya out on that!

 

What every man wants! New clippers so I can cut his hair! They stink. Turns out I need to return them. They might be able to cut other things, but not hair.

Ella made him a "bunny book" (leftover from Easter) and carved a heart in a play-doh Easter egg. This girl will not go to a birthday party empty-handed.

 

The kids' (and Jason's) favorite present- Alligator dentist. So cute! Thanks Mom! You open its mouth and one-by-one push the teeth down and it randomly snaps on someone. Quincy is terrified of it and will only observe.

 

You should've seen the dinner. That's all I gotta say. Yes, I bought him cream puffs for his "cake". This is a man who rarely eats dessert. We had marinated steak and his favorite ranch potatoes and blackberries for dinner. Donchya worry- I treat my man right. :)

Is that Charlotte overload? GOOD! Its good for you. Highly recommend it.

 

 

Last Saturday our ward had a primary talent show...Ella showed off her piano skills. She played not one but two pieces. I was shocked at how composed she was. She even messed up but pushed through. This was her first time ever playing in a setting like this. This Saturday is her real recital!

Easter

                                                   Easter at Grandma an Grandpa Allred's

 

 

 

 

 

Charlotte with the surprise visitor- Uncle Jordan!

 

 

How cute are these two? Charlottey and Aunt Bessie

Megan painted Ella's nails Easter-y. Blue, pink and yellow. Megan is such a sweet cousin to Ella.

Quincy mad that we actually wanted him to "hunt" for Easter eggs instead eat the first piece of candy he found. Typical, right?

Release the monkeys at Grandma and Grandpa Jewkes' house

The Easter Egg Hunters. There is a tradition of hiding one golden egg with money it. Its MAJOR to find the egg in this family. Well, Lincoln was so set on finding the golden egg that he only got about 4 other eggs. Thus, the pout. And to add insult to injury, Sophia was the lucky winner this year. But the sweet girl game Lincoln $1 out of the egg. How sweet is that!?

Check out these family pictures...they are about as good as it gets these days.

 

 

 

 

 

This is just sooo Lincoln and soooo cute!

We had three Allred cousins bron within a few months of each other...Charlotte (November), Max (July), and Jude (December).

Part 2

                          These next two posts were put on in reverse by me my children. Dang kids.


                                          

Miss Charlotte-y at five months

Ella in her school play "Hop to It". Her part was narrarator. I was super excited util she told me she was narrarator #216 or something. She had one line. But she said it perfectly. :) 

In the throngs of bunnies.

Ella and Lincoln at their first soccer practice. They are taking it through the YMCA and have the nicest coaches ever- Coach Jason and Coach Brian (not MY Jason...just to clarify). They are giddy every time its soccer time. And I must admit they have some skills.

Quincy doesn't mind coming along either.

 

And Charlotte doesn't seem to mind anything. She goes along with pretty much everything.

And smiles whiles she's at it. I need to take a memo from her.

 

The kids' first game. Go JAGUARS!!!!!!!!

 

 

Proud and loud mom on the sidelines.

 

 

 

 

Dyeing Easter eggs. Why do I beleive everything I see/pin on pinterest? I don't know. But some genius said you could dye EAster eggs with Kool-aid. Sure you can. But there is such little variety of colors that they all turned out red or purpleish/brownish. They are now in the garbage.

FAIL.

Note to self: just buy the real dye next time.
