easter/spring in general

Easter was tons of fun this year. On Saturday we had a little egg hunt at our house with some friends. Fun was had by all.
Audrey, Ava, and Merit
On Sunday, Merit and I had to head to church without Kev because he had to work. We missed him terribly. (Thank you, Pete and Melissa, for Merit's pretty dress!)
20 weeks
That evening we went to Jackson and had dinner with Kevan's family at his grandparents' house. Somehow, I didn't get any pictures, and I am so sad about that! Janice, if you happened to take any (ha!), could you send them to me please?

I can't remember ever being more ready for Spring than this year. Winter is fun for the month of December, then I'm ready to move on. These first few pics are of, who else, Miss Merit having fun outside in the amazingness that is Spring.

and a whole lotta sweetness

For the last few weeks, we have been eating supper almost every night out on the carport. On this particular night, Merit was noticing the clouds and the moon. She kept saying, "I wanna touch it. I wanna touch the moon." Kev kept lifting her up like this, she would reach out and then say, "I did it!" Such a sweet moment that has turned into one of my favorite memories.

We have a little bush and a tree at our house that surprised us with the prettiest pink blooms. 
Oh, Spring.

Oh, and warmer weather also means that when you are inside, you don't have to wear clothes. Unless you want to throw on some fairy wings, which I would highly suggest.
