Happy Easters

By -
Somehow I didn't get any outside-springy-Easter pictures this year.  So all ya get are some groggy Easter morning pictures of my adorably cute boys. :)  Oh and some from church. 
 

 
 

 
The boys were pretty excited that the Easter Bunny came. Sam could not BELIEVE that the E.B. knew that he liked to color and gave him a set of 100 crayons.  Mind.  Blown.  The boys also got new summer hats, which Sam loved instantly.  I think it's because his hat has been missing longer than Aiden.  And Cade still hasn't decided how he feels about hats on his head.  Mr. Bunny also knew that they love bubbles and so decked them out with bubble blowers in all sizes.  The backyard was filled with bubbles all day.
 

 


Apparently the Easter Bunny didn't know that they didn't like Mentos.  Silly Rabbit.  Mentos are for old people.

Cade caught on pretty quickly that the eggs had candy in them.  My other two boys were just thrilled with the plastic eggs when they were little, but I guess by the third child there's enough candy gobbling to catch on more quickly. 

 




After all the candy gobbling and bubble blowing, we had our Easter breakfast - Bunny pancakes with strawberries.  Ok ok, they didn't really LOOK like bunnies, but the picture on Pinterest sure looked awesome. 

 



Aiden got a paint-your-own-dang-birdhouse kit from the Easter Bunny which his brothers helped him paint.  That Sam kid cracks me up.  He kept his hat on until the very last minute we got out of the car to go to church.
 
 
 
Happy Easter from the Phillips!

What handsome looking boys! I'm glad the Easter Bunny fulfilled their wildest dreams and anticipated their every wish!

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

Surrounded by Handsomeness

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
