Flowers

Ranunculus -- my favorite flower

I love our garden's flowers this time of year. Soooooooo beautiful!
The colors are like something out of Candyland.

The mountains above are the perfect backdrop.

This picture above I photoshopped to look like a watercolor painting.

This one above has also been photoshopped with a brush-stroke effect.

Also photoshopped -- a different type of watercolor

Having fun with AdobePhotoshop. ;)

Easter Bunnies

Along with all their colorful Easter eggs and buckets, Grandma gave each of the kids an Easter bunny of their very own. It's now their sleeping companion -- one of them. :)

Every year the kids enjoy Grandma's annual Easter egg hunt. Uncle Nathan usually hides the eggs, as he did this year. The eggs are color-coated -- pink for Abby, purple for Essie, and blue for Caleb. So. Much. FUN.

Easter Morning

Aren't they a bunch of cuties? Mwah!

Love this picture above!

Feeling a little like the rose between two thorns here... :)

Everybody has days like this...

I think Essie's in time-out here. Daddy took her picture to show her how unhappy she looked. I think it's important to remember even times like these. Not every moment is a smiley-face moment, and sometimes our pictures neglect to remind us of that.

Annual City Easter Egg Hunt

Every year our little city puts on an Easter egg hunt, and we try to go every year. The kids love it. Eric usually takes them, and this year my brother Nathan went along for the fun as well. Eric only managed to get a few shots of buddy as the girls were in a different section altogether.
