Powered doughnuts for breakfast...in bed.

This girl cracks me up. She is fiesty, sweet, sassy, hilarious, random, quirky, cuddly and the most awesome little gal I've ever known. We are so blessed to know her.

I'm 30!?!?

I don't know how it happened so fast, but 30 is here! I don't feel sad or even older. I don't feel I have hit a mile stone or even a bump in the road. I simply feel shocked that time has flown by so fast. I look forward with great excitement to what my 30's has in store. Many of my lifes "major" decisions have been made and it feels like we are coasting (in a good way); just along for the ride. Sure, there will be changes, but for the most part, I feel settled. Not in the physical necessarily, but I am certainly more comfortable with who I am, what I believe and why. 30 is going to be good!!

Easter 2011

I love Easter. Not because of the happy pastel colors or the first signs of spring. Not because of the beautiful colors you find all over the mall that shout 'summer is coming!' (I enjoy those things too), but I love Easter because it is a celebration of Jesus Christ sacrifice and the power he had to slay death and offer life everlasting! It is in Him, we find the hope of new life and life eternal. I love how the message of Christ goes along with all that is glorious about spring. It seems to go hand in hand with Jesus message of renewal....

I also must admitt I like dressing my children up in coordinating outfits. The rain was kindof a damper, but it was much needed. I had not originally planned on Maggie Beth wearing the bonnet. One, because I had cute bows to put in her hair, and two, we were going to be inside, and three, not much use for a sun bonnet if its raining. Well, Maggie Beth spotted the hat and that was the end of that. She insisted on the hat and was upset at my attempts to distract her and take it off her head. Nope. She was wearing the hat! Okay then, lets move on to pictures....

This isn't what I had pictured for an Easter photo, but we waited a little too late and had to take what we could get as we would be running late for church (which is never okay with my husband). Price thought he had picked a good spot for the photo op so I didn't want to change it.

Me and my lil Easter bunny!

My lil man

It was cool and raining.

Hunting for Easter eggs at Yaya and Poppy's house

Price was sweet. He didn't find quite as many eggs, because he was helping to ensure Maggie Beth found some too. Awww

She likes this 'game'

Price and Maggie Beth with cousins Brett and Kassity. Piper and Blade are in Florida and we missed them bunches....maybe next year!

3rd annual Molder Easter Egg Coloring!

It has been my tradition to host Easter Egg Coloring on my side of the family for the last 3 years, and this year is no different (except for the terenchal rain and cool temps) which moved the activity inside. The crowd was small, just KK this year. We missed all the others! None the less, we had a good time.

MB and KK get it going!

Price joins in with his fantastic creativity!

Tball!

I have enjoyed being a "soccer mom," but now its time to be a "baseball mom!" This is Price's first year to play tball! He is excited. His coach's name is Jody, who is the father of another player and friend, named Lainee. He is excellent at getting the kids to listen and teaching them the basics of tball while at the same time instilling some skill and good habits.

A little one-on-one with Jody

First tball game

Run Price!

So fun!
