Thank you Papa and Maudy for thinking of us!

Thank you Papa and Maudy for our so very cool masks that you brought back from Italy!!! We feel very blessed that you thought of us on your wonderful vacation!

Dylan and Tanner are Baptized!

Merideth and Erin were blessed to be a part of Dylan and Tanner's baptism this weekend in Dallas. It was a wonderful weekend filled with great and memorable times with family. Thank you Robert and Danica for hosting us all! Marc and Samuel spent the weekend in Orlando and had some great father/son time. They planned to make it for the baptism but their flight was canceled/delayed, big bummer. Oh how we love to climb trees!!! Thank you Robert and Danica for having trees for us to climb!!

Tanner enjoying some jumping time, all smiles most of the time!

This is Dylan's argument for his dear aunt at Einstein Bros Bagels in hopes that they would open one in Edmond!!! Thank you sweet Dylan.

Papa and Merideth, cherished time.

The Whitlocks!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our family's favorite and best ever daddy! We hope your day is great and we celebrate you today and feel so very blessed that you are our husband and daddy. We love you more than we could ever say or sing!

Our Dutch Tulips!

Spring has sprung in OK! We are not fully convinced that we will not have at least one more freeze, but the tulips Erin received from Holland for her birthday decided to give us some color! We love them and check on them every day to see how many more have bloomed!

Great Spring Break in CO!

The kids spring break week worked out perfectly with Marc having work in Denver!! We got to celebrate Rocky's 21st season and get some skiing/snow boarding in as well as some good times with family and friends!

Sibling love, gotta love it!

Denny got to come up from Colorado Springs and hang out with us for one day, it is always a blessing to all of us to be able to spend time with our brother/uncle!

We went out for a walk which turned into a fun in the snow time for Samuel and Merideth.

Samuel had a great time and was super proud, as we were, of how great he was doing.

We thank God for CO and all the people who are there that we love!!!

Girls weekend in Dallas for some Baby time!

Erin and Merideth got to go to Dallas for some needed nephew and cousin time. Marc and Samuel stayed home for some good ole' OK boy time, yes, Monster Jam (monster trucks). Dallas was wonderful, the boys are growing so fast and love to be interacted with and love to go outside, we did lots of both!

Merideth and Dylan playing on the floor.

Happy Tanner!

A Crafting Confession

Okay, I (Erin) have a confession to all who read our family blog; I have a craft addiction! Yes, that is why there has not been a post on our blog in 19 days! I have been having WAY too much fun crafting different stuff for the house. I was thinking about posting pictures to show but didn't think that would be good for my recovery process. I noticed that it was a problem when I was ready early to pick Samuel up from school and instead of going into the classroom to help out, I sat in my car and made fabric flowers...for 20 minutes! I have crafted some spring time decorations but plan to take a crafting break, after a already scheduled craft time with friends this week.

I certainly appreciate any advice from any other craft addictions out there!!!

Sorry to our family and friends who have missed out on our blog for the last almost month! We are still here and happy!
