Easter 2015

 

Karis is in a phase where she won't cooperate for pictures! So, if I sit her down, she can't run away as easily.  I also needed Cody to hold her hand so she wouldn't suck her thumb. I wasn't sure how the pictures would turn out but I love them! These two adore each other!

 

 That dimple of his has melted my heart from day one!

 She refuses to look at the camera!

 And if she does look at the camera I can't get her to smile at the same time.

 BUT....I LOVE these where they are looking at each other!!

 

 He has decided this is his "church" outfit these days. I can't get him to wear a polo shirt but he loves button down shirts open with a t-shirt underneath. He feels handsome and so that's what he wears! It was fun taking him shopping and letting him choose what he wants.

 Easter was cold and rainy but we managed to do our yearly egg hunt with some of our favorite friends.  

 

  

 Karis' 2nd Easter!

 
 

 Kissing a bunny!

 I asked her to show me her dress and this is the pose I got!

 

Texas Tulips

We took a little (30 minute) road trip out to see the Texas-Tulip farm! This is a new adventure and the owners just relocated from Holland. The kids enjoyed picking flowers to bring home!  

Getting Karis to look at the camera is impossible these days! 

 I love this picture with both kids in their own little world. Cody loved the soft sand and Karis thought it was fun to hold the flowers (and sit in the basket).

 
 
 
  
  
 
 

  Cody was all about picking the flowers and Karis was all about smelling the flowers.

 Love this sweet embrace between Jason and Cody! 



We caught the end of season this year but look forward to going back next year!

Snow Day!

We loved our snowy day and had fun playing in it after school! Cody had fun making snow angels! This was Karis' first snow to get to play in and she loved it! She lasted outside longer than Cody did and begged to go out again throughout the evening! 

Fall 2014 Random-ness!

The one and only time I have had lunch with Cody! He loved having me there but decided he would rather sit with his friends at lunch instead of being at a table with just his mom. :) 

Karis really loves the carousel at our mall and this particular Friday night we rode it 3 times. She never wanted off a horse and Cody hopped from one option to another. 

Karis got to sit in cody's seat one day for a quick errand she she thought it was fun!



This sweet girl cannot get enough books! She LOVES to look at books!!

LOVE!!

One Saturday while Karis was napping Cody wanted me to make foil cars for his monster trucks to crash. We had the best time!

He has always been a helper and was very proud to clean my windows.

Karis wanted to ride with Cody more than sit in her own car and he was happy to give her a ride on his go-cart.

She wanted to play instead of sleep!

Cody's Boosterthon run at school.

Reading with daddy before bed.

Karis wants to do everything her brother is doing! She loves to be right beside him and for the most part he doesn't mind. He is very sweet and patient with her.

Yummy!

Top Golf for lunch! So much fun!

He was HAPPY because it was just the 2 of us at Target and I told him he could pick out a match box car!

This is Cody's happy place. Once Karis started crawling and then standing and walking we quickly realized Cody needed his own area. And since his room is upstairs and he likes to be where we are we created a place in our living room for him. He can build legos and trains and its a place where is sister won't destroy his creations. 

Sherbert on a cone!

Cody enjoys doing homework! 

She loves to curl up in this chair....not the cute pink on next to it!

She loves parks and playgrounds!

Wearing her pink shirt from Grandma!

Cody was the go-getter for his class and get to bring home Yoda for the weekend! He was so happy!!
