Way too long

My sweet Ry bear

So I have been completely neglecting my family blog page. With everything going on from the baby to Riley's birthday parties (yes there were multiple ones....the Medeiros Family party and her party at home with all of her friends and family here) I feel so stretched that it is hard to commit to a time to work on our blog page. I have recently mastered grocery shopping with two children, something I had been fearing since I had Addy. And the weird thing is, I think Ry can tell when I am stressed or apprehensive because she totally behaves and is my perfect angel. She is actually adjusting better than I thought. We, like all other family's with 2 year olds are suffering from the terrible two's, but besides the occasional hitting or "no" I swear she is wonderful. She loves her baby sister and trys to be my big helper all day long. And I totally love it! I will attach a few pics of my beautiful girls for everyone :)

Easter- PArt Three

Here are some cute pics from coloring easter eggs.....

Easter- Part Two

Our next part to our Easter Celebration was the Egg hunt at the church on Saturday. It was pure madness as hundreds of 2 and 3 year olds all ran into the same room to scoop up as many eggs as they could. I don't think Riley really got the idea until it was too late. She wanted to find an egg, open it, and eat the candy, then go on to the next egg. Needless to say she didn't get too many eggs.

Easter- Part One

So our Easter festivities started with the Last Supper on Thursday night. Eddie played the part of John, and wore an ever convincing wig. :) Eddie did a great job and most of all, they guys all had a good time doing it. Although Riley wouldn't get anywhere near him with that wig on....hahaha, note the top picture where Eddie had taken his wig off to hold Riley. :)

Our New Backyard

The Finished Work

The "before" picture

So recently Eddie has taken on the project of putting in a backyard for us. I am so impressed with hard work and dedication. We have learned how to lay concrete, put in a sprinkler system, put in a drainage system, prep and level for grass, lay sod, and so much more! We have so many wonderful friends who have come to help Eddie in the process! We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! Final pictures to follow.....

Riley...too cute!

Ok so my daughter has FINALLY decided that she wants to talk.....among the many words she has recently decided to say are.....

She still says some stuff and I am not sure what she is saying, but I am sure I will figure it out soon, as you can imagine I am extremely excited! It was like she was storing up words and waiting to say them all. Here are some cute pictures of my sweeet baby girl (who is growing up and isn't a baby anymore)
