Water Fun In The Sun!

Today we hosted Cowser family fun at our house :)  Every Sunday we usually get together for lunch with Mamaw, Papaw, Grandma Alice and all the aunts, uncles and cousins.  It was supposed to be such a nice day, that we volunteered to have it at our house.  We had lunch and then we let the kids play in the front yard with the slip 'n slide, the baby pool and Aunt Kelly's water table.  They had so much fun!

Colson loved the water table!

It was a beautiful afternoon to be outside and the kids had a blast!  Hopefully we can have more family get-togethers like this throughout the summer!

Wishin' & Hopin' & Thinkin' & Prayin'

We have been doing all these things for a very long time-wishing, hoping, thinking and praying.  For what you ask?   For him.

Finnegan Thomas Snyder has found our family and we couldn't be happier.  And as happy as we are, I know his mommy and daddy must be over the moon for this 8lb. miracle baby.  We love you forever Finn and are so excited to welcome you and watch you grow! 

Colson & Alyvia are so happy to have new cousin baby Finn!

A little announcement

Alyvia and Colson would like to announce that they will be a BIG SISTER and BIG BROTHER in November!  We are all very excited to welcome Baby Cowser #3 :) 

April 2012-Where did you go?!

Oops-the second year of blogging is proving to be much harder than the first for some reason.  We are so busy during the daytime, that I all I have energy for at night is sitting on the couch and catching up on my DVR.  I'm going to try to catch up on April through pictures, here goes....

Colson became a pirate for a day (or a minute, whatever)

Colson participated in his very first Easter Egg hunt in Princeville

Katelynn, Reagan & Rylie were there too-look at my girl pose!

Then we colored Easter eggs at our house!

Easter morning we got our loot from the bunny before church!

Livi started playing soccer again and she LOVES it this time around!  She is so much more aggressive and excited to play!

Colson ate cereal with milk for the 1st time-Lucky Charms, yummy!

Livi likes to make beds in the living room for her and Colson

Colson discovered a love for contacts-and now says "Eye"!

Colson went for his 1st tractor ride of the spring with Daddy

That same day, this girl and I had our own lunch date!

Alyvia learning to swing all by herself-woo hoo!

And finally, Colson discovered his passion for mowing!

We had a busy month!  There are so many things going on around here all the time!  Alyvia still makes me laugh (and pull my hair out) all the time and I wish I could write down everything she says.  I'm going to try again to be better-so for the 3 people that read my blog, keep reading!

Punkin' Patch Class of 2012

Tonight Alyvia graduated with the Punkin' Patch class of 2012!

We are so proud of her!  She loved preschool from beginning to end.  She is sad that she's not going to back to Punkin' Patch, but so excited to go to Kindergarten next year!  I can't believe it!!  The class sang some cute songs and then each student was called up to receive their diploma (just like a real graduation!).

We had the grandparents, Shane & Lindsey, & Adam over after graduation for pizza and cake.  It was a beautiful evening outside and we had a great time celebrating our little graduate!
