Welcome, Spring!!

Easter was awesome! We praise God for his risen Son and all that He gave in order to save us!! Here are a few pics before & at church. (Sorry...I'm having some issues uploading more pics, so I'll just post what I have and keep trying)
We spent a lot of time outside, to include 2 egg hunts (took Pierce a minute to figure out what to do), croquet, and a walk or two. While hunting eggs, Pierce would say, "Where AARREE you?" and when he found them..."Found you!" After he found the eggs, he would put them in his "nest." It was too cute!!
Ella Belle with her Bunny hat on...I don't think she was diggin' it!
Ella was cool just hangin' on Daddy and eventually just fell asleep.
The weather was beautiful and in the 80's, so we decided to take the kids to the park. Forest Park is a beautiful (and HUGE) park & we really enjoyed it! Ella just chilled on the blanket and Pierce decided to check out the lone Canadian goose. I swore I was going to have to jump in after him, but we made it home without anyone getting wet!

While we were in St. Louis, we celebrated Brandon's birthday. While he was out, we decorated the house & when he returned, we surprised him!! Look at all those candles...& the big breath he's taking to blow them out! :)
His cousin, Darren, has a birthday at the end of April, so the two of them blew out the candles together!!
As always, we had a great fellowship while in St. Louis. Brandon's dad got to meet Ella for the first time, as did the rest of the family. Pierce was lovin' all the attention and took anyone who was willing, outside to play with him!
And, since everyone thinks Pierce looks just like B, here's a pic of Brandon's dad, Brandon, & Pierce together...you be the judge!
