T's Little Easter Egg Hunt Pictures

Ready, set, go!

"Say Cheese!" works now!

She was soooo excited when she found an egg!

Daddy, showing T that there is candy inside the eggs! Say whaaaat? :)

Checkin' out the loot!

And why yes, of course the one-glove fad is back in. Not.

Trying to decide if the sour candy is worth it.

We had a Happy Easter, and hope that you did too! We were lucky to have Grandma & Grandpa (Scott's parents) come visit us for the weekend! The girls had so much fun with them, enjoying all the attention spoil and didn't want them to leave. May we all remember the reason for the Easter season, that Christ is risen and He lives. We are so blessed.

Blessed to be a SAHM

Did you correctly guess what that acronym means? :) Lately, I feel so blessed to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom. Last week I started to feel stressed about the big move to Utah. One day in particular, hundreds of thoughts kept racing through my head (I won't bore you with detailed stresses of life, you're welcome.) and I began to panick. Then the thought entered my mind "Rachelle, look at your children." I looked across the room, and they were playing together angelically and looked so sweet and perfect, as children can be. I nearly came to tears, realizing that that my life is so full of love because of them. Nothing else really matters. Things will work out, and I am so happy to be their mother and wouldn't trade it for anything. This is my life right now. Mom to two little crazies.

Sidenote: You can stop reading now if you'd like. I have another shpiel. :)

I am able to contribute a little bit financially through selling for Cents of Style. This has worked out so well for me, and I love doing it. I love helping women feel confident without spending much on themselves in order to do so. It is something I am passionate about and enjoy doing, that also earns me a little spending money outside of our monthly budget. Here's a flyer about it, in case you think it is something that could benefit your family, or a friend's.

Elliotte turns Uno

We were in Utah this week, Scott had some training. It was a great chance for us to spend time with family! My girls love playing with Bryan and Chandi's boys! We celebrated Ellie's first birthday while we were there...

Cousins with Tenley, excited about Ellie's birthday presents and eating cake!

Happy birthday bug! Not the greatest picture of lil E, but I am excited about my new hat so I had to post it. Haha.

Pretty little birthday girl!

Scott, and his brother Bryan with his boys. Do you think Scott and Bryan look alike?

Can't take her little eyes off the fire.

Plenty of helpers for opening presents. :)

She was all smiles when she saw this little play tent. I don't obviously think she knows what it is, but she was so excited about it! Score, 1 point for me.

We love this cute little girl! Happy birthday Elliotte Joy, you have brought us nothing but pure happiness and we are so grateful to have you as part of our family!

Did you notice she didn't eat one of her yellow cupcakes? Well that is because we did a "smash the cake" photo shoot, and I wasn't willing enough to clean up that awful mess twice. :)
