Visit with my favorite Ohio family

With my brother's traveling work schedule, and now that he lives in another state, we don't get to see each other nearly as often as I would want! We finally were able to get together in the beginning of May, and had a fantastic time hanging out together.
**Warning - get ready for picture overload, because my lil niece, Tess, is just the cutest thing ever** :)

The girls were so excited when Jeff, Jen and Tess arrived...
Greeting them at the door

Finally getting to hold this cutie!

Lots of playtime

We were doing some late birthday celebrations, and we got Mem a Keurig. Taylor loved the carousel that went with it. :)

Excited to use it for the first time - hot chocolate! :)

Three generations in this picture :)

So, so cute. :)

We also all headed over to Dad's house for a while, to help celebrate Papa's birthday, too.

Tess was again, literally, the center of attention.

Can't wait for our next visit together!!

2 year old comparison :)

Camryn had her 2-year well child appointment this week. All is well, and ears look good, which we are always happy to hear. :)

Stats:
Weight 26lbs 14oz - 66th percentile
Height: 33 3/4 inches - 58th percentile

At 2 years old, Taylor weighed 26lbs 5 oz, and her height was 34 inches. They are pretty similar!

I love these pictures of Cam with little pigtails (her teachers at daycare will do her hair after naptime - so sweet). :)

And I found this picture of me in my dad's boat when I was little, and wondered if there was any resemblance?? She is certainly a LOT more blond than me! :D

Easter 2014

The Thursday before Easter, the Easter Bunny visited the girl's daycare.
Taylor apparently was very happy about the visit.

Camryn was not. :) Poor little tender heart.

Easter weekend was a bit of family, lots of playing, a great church service, bunches of sunshine, and some holiday fun, too.  :)

Saturday morning we took advantage of the beautiful sunshine to play outside.

On Saturday afternoon my dad and Uncle Scott came up and we had a visit with them and my grandparents. Bapa put together his gift for Camryn - although she was still napping when it all got put together, so Taylor enjoyed the gift a bit before her sister woke up. :) We did many laps around the living room with it before it made its way outside. :)

Later, we went to my grandparents for a combination birthday dinner for my grandma and Camryn, and an Easter get-together.

Singing Happy Birthday to Cam (the "83" is for Gaga - Cam's "2" candle was on the other side. :))

Hanging out with the big bunnies that were there...

Camryn was NOT a fan :) Easter bunnies were not her favorite this year.

Sunday morning, the girls had a lot of fun finding Easter Eggs hidden around the house. Next year we are going to have to assign colors so their baskets are a bit more equal. :)

Breakfast with bunny ears on :)

After church, our Easter dinner this year was just our family - and we grilled out! It was really tasty, and SO nice to be outside during our warmest day yet this year!

The rest of the day was equal parts napping/sitting in the sun, and playing.

 (Getting ready for toddler t-ball this summer!)

We love spending time with these two!
