Easter 2012

It's crazy to think how far our family has come in the last year. A year ago, Brian and I were cooking jambalaya, our attempt at bribing the doctors and nurses at Texas Children's to take extra special care of our miracle baby, Kynlee! This year we had jambalaya again on our back porch just celebrating our family and Jesus! We are truly one blessed family and I thank the Lord daily for all he has given us! Nothing beats a celebration with family, friends and great food. Especially when you aren't in a hospital!!

We had a fun filled Easter! Complete with swimming, fishing, Easter egg, dying, hunting/shoving and it wouldn't be complete with out a photo shoot! Jamie picked up some baby chicks for our shoot last week. One died before the end of the first night and then we lost one Sunday afternoon. I'm not sure if he died at the foot of Alexis or the nice toss that Daddy gave him, but either way, he didn't make it through the day. I do feel bad, though!


She could be outside all day long!
Aunt Chelle and Carter came down for the night Friday! We had a GREAT visit! We haven't seen much of each other over the last two year, and when we do, it is always in big groups. So, it was really nice to just enjoy each other like the HLP we are!!

I got a cute picture of the three of them even though A was fighting it! She'll do anything for a handful of goldfish!

Carter loving on Bandit!

Jennifer and Kaylee came down for Easter!!! I was so excited to see them! It has been WAY TOO long! Hopefully they come back sooner rather than later! All the cousins enjoyed being together! I'm so mad I didn't get all 6 of them together!

Alexis glittering her first Easter egg!

I'm not sure if she liked it on her hands or not! This is her new shocked look these days!

The kids weren't too into the dying this year because there were fish to be caught, but they all managed to color a few!



Brody really loves Alexis!!

Brody, Kaylee and Bryce

We let them play with the chicks for a little while on Easter Eve. Alexis was just excited to see what was in the doggy's cage.

She is so sweet!

The Easter Bunny was good to everyone! Alexis was more interested in what the boys got than her own basket! They got this ball popping game and she would make this face every time Daddy popped the ball out!

How handsome is he?

Pay close attention to the gigantic bunny! He will be making an appearance for the next 18 Easters! What the heck am I to do with a bunny this large!! This is a prime example of a Diana Barak miscommunication!

Laureli was so happy even though she just woke up!

The "best" picture of the four of them together.

Her first Easter Egg hunt. I forgot how much I loved her basket!

Watch how she quickly changes expressions!

Scared!

To full of kisses!

Kynlee was so happy to see the chicks, until one of them crawled up under her dress!



Not a fan of them pecking at her bum!

Three sweet girls!

Laureli is such a relaxed and happy baby!





This might be my most favorite picture of the day! Alexis was excited to see the boat go by and Kynlee thought it was just hilarious! We topped off our day chowing down on some cupcakes!!

Laureli was too tired for cupcakes!!
