Quick Trip Down The Hill

Today, Leslie and I took Lucy Jane and Annalyse to see Mamaw and Papaw Richardson! We only had a short amount of time because they had a funeral to attend and we had to get back before school was out, but it was a sweet visit!

Rich's grandparents have always been a huge part of his life! I remember when I first met rich he texted me a picture of them having coffee together one morning! He told me they were 2 of the most important people in his life!

They are in their 80's and have been married since she was 15 years old! They truly are a perfect example of love and a Godly marriage! Rich and I have always looked up to them and the example they set! Before we moved from ft. Smith we would go over there on Sunday nights, all in our pajamas, and just hang out! Lucy Jane loves going over there and visiting with their dog Mandy!

Leslie, me, our girls, and Mamaw and Papaw grabbed a quick bite to eat at La Huerta before we headed back! Such a fun day! So thankful for my friendship with Leslie, the girls friendship, and sweet grandparents to spend the morning with!

Easter Weekend!

We had a fun weekend for Easter this year! Lucy Jane is at such a fun age where she is loving holidays!!
Friday afternoon my sister and josh picked up Lucy Jane to take her to my moms for the night! I sent her, puppy, nite-nite (blanket) and her diapers but managed somehow to forget any of her clothes and shoes! Momma moment!!!
Thankfully, I called Crystal at Baby Chic to pick out an out outfit and my dad went and picked it up! She even hooked her up with a big pink bow!! Haley went and grabbed her some shoes and it all worked out!!
Mom took her to the Easter egg hunt in Lavaca on Saturday morning and she had a ball!!
That afternoon they all drive up here to spend the night! We ate and played and enjoyed our time together!!
Sunday morning we went to church, hunted eggs, and ate lunch! Then naps for all!!! Rich got baptized at church this morning! It was a perfect Easter Sunday!
Rich's sister and the kids came over to hunt eggs that afternoon! They played outside and got filthy! :) Lucy Jane loves plying with her cousins!
So thankful for family and the true meaning of Easter! We are blessed!!!

Nana came to visit!

We spent all last week piled up in bed sick, so my mom decided to take some much needed time off and come see us!!! It was a spontaneous plan that made us all excited!

Friday night we had our pictures made with the Easter bunny! LJ wasn't having it unless me and nana were in the picture with her! It was quite entertaining! We met rich for dinner and then we spent some time walking around the Promenade! Nana promised Lucy Jane lipstick and ice cream! She is a spoiled little sweet thing!!!

We stayed up late and woke up the next day to run around a little more! We had such a fun relaxing weekend! Rich worked out in the yard and sent time getting things ready for our pool to be open! Looking forward to summer at the Richardson house!!!

Being sick Stinks!!!

We have officially been hit with the sick bug around our house! It started Saturday afternoon for me and Sunday for LJ and Rich. The body aches and fever are enough but then add the coughing and nose junk....yuck! We have all three been piled up in the bed for 2 days and are more than ready to feel better. I took LJ to the dr yesterday morning and he said we have a virus that mimicks the flu....do no antibiotic will work. GREAT! it's bad enough being sick but watching it precious baby sick will break a momma's heart. Yesterday my sweet friend Jessica dropped off a sonic drink on my door step! So sweet!!!
Today, Lucy Jane had 102 temp and was still determined to get outside and swing! Poor baby! I just know tomorrow we are all going to wake up feeling like a million bucks! :) (fingers crossed)

Early Birthday Present!

Rich and I decided that we wanted to get Lucy Jane a swing set for her birthday! She is absolutely loving being outside and can pretty much do all the stuff at the park! We thought it was time! HOWEVER I had no idea how many different choices there were in choosing one for a child!!!

We think we picked the perfect one for her (and apparently Luke too) he has already climbed up with her several times! Here are a few pictures of her helping her daddy water the flower beds he just redid and of her playing on her swing set!

Way Behind!

I am so far behind with blogging...so instead of playing catch up I am just going to add a few recent pictures!
We are loving this beautiful weather! LJ loves being outside and we spend most of our day in the sun! Rich is working on redoing our flower beds, so we have lots of dirt to play in our yard! We are loving out new home and friendships in Springdale! God is so good!
