Heidi is such a good helper and a great big sister!

This sign is at Rudy's; it makes me laugh.

He liked his warm bath! He's a good baby--very calm and alert and sweet. :)

Grandma and Grandpa

We've loved having Grandma and Grandpa here for the last three days!

Easter / Birthday Dinner

Mmm-mmm-mmm!

Ham, cheesy potatoes, deviled eggs, jello salad, Caesar salad, rolls, and lemonade.

Oh, and cheesecake. :)
And gotta love the pirate sword!

Easter Morning

Wow. That hair.

Go Fly a Kite

For Good Friday, Scott and Lizzie both had the day off. Among other things, we attempted to fly a kite at the park. (Either our kite was too cheap, the wind was too weak, or our kite-flying skills were sub-par; we couldn't get the kite off the ground.)

Owen spent pretty much the whole time playing in the dirt and collecting sticks.

Easter Eggs

We decorated Easter eggs today:

Daddy is making funny faces on the iPad in the background. (He's in Houston this week.)

Easter Egg Hunt

We went to an Easter egg hunt at the local rec center this morning. 

It was kind of a mad house, and Owen only found one egg. But at least he had fun playing on the playground equipment.

The girls, waiting for their turn.

Bluebonnets

Bluebonnets are the state flower of Texas. For a few weeks each spring, bluebonnets and other wildflowers pop up all over Austin--mostly along the highways. They are a legacy of Lady Bird Johnson, who believed in planting wildflowers to beautify the riverfront and roads. (LBJ and his wife are from this area, so they're a pretty big deal around here.) Apparently it's a "thing" to go take your pictures in a wildflower patch each spring. It's a bit early in the season still, but here was our first attempt. (This patch was less than a mile from our house.)

If you notice, Owen is wearing a pilot hat with cowboy boots, and he has a pirate spotting scope stuffed in one of his boots. Not sure if he's a pilot, a cowboy, or a pirate. (P.S. Scott hates that he wears his sisters' boots, but some days it just isn't worth the fight--especially when you're 37 weeks pregnant.)

Heidi wins the prize for being most photogenic today.

Owen picked this bouquet all on his own. (Notice the infant car seat, all ready to go!)
