Eric's Graduation

We left the girls at home and headed up to Columbia to celebrate Eric's graduation from Mizzou!  It was a fun weekend with lots of good food, entertainment, and accomplishment!  He received his Master's in Accountancy and had also recently passed his CPA exam.  We were very proud of our sweet Eric.  He worked harder and was more dedicated to his education than anyone I know!

The Graduate and the Family

Me and My Accountant

I am sure Eric is somewhere down there.  He actually could have participated in 3 different graduation ceremonies but he was kind and only made us endure one!  (They are REALLY long!)

Eric and Erin

I love this last picture.  This is a pretty typical scene for these two.  Eric laughing about who knows what and Adam just giving a little smirk!

Mother's Day 2011

We had a low key Mother's Day spent relaxing at home and ended the day with ice cream. Here are some photos of the people I love.

Easter 2011

We spent celebrated Easter and Jesus' Resurrection with a special visit from the Howell family. We dyed eggs, spent time with family (mainly indoors since it rained the entire time!), loved on our sweet niece Caroline, and had a belated birthday party for Emma (with a special "cake" made by Aunt Julie, see below!) My blog got behind and I meant to post about Easter much earlier. I love the holiday and the time of reflection that leads up to Easter. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me!

Moser Visit - Cousin Time

The Moser family spent the first week of April visiting us in Missouri. You can imagine the craziness you get when you put a 5 year old, 3 year old, 2 year old, 1 year old, and seven month old all together! It was a very fun but loud week! We kept busy visiting Grandma Schweiss, touring the Arch, playing in Forest Park, dyeing Easter eggs, and playing with toys. They all love each other and it is fun to see them play together. We are planning a family vacation this summer so this is just a preview of what is to come. I am thinking we should hire a nanny to come along so that it actually feels like a vacation!

We made Audrey watch from the sidelines for fear we might loose her in the bubbles if she joined the other three!

Mealtime was the most chaotic part of the week!

Getting a lesson on how to make cake pops from bakerella Ali.
