Easter 2012

These are the only pictures we have from Easter and they are all from Tara's phone. We took a bunch of pictures with our camera but Jared accidentally deleted them. I'm very bummed that we lost all the pictures of the girls. Hallee loved waking up to her basket from the easter bunny. Her favorite part was finding the eggs. 

Matching dresses that my mom gave them.
I'm so glad we got a picture in front of our church with the pretty cherry blossoms. 

we loved having auntie Tara around to celebrate with us

Basketball League

Jared played in basketball league through the military. He played with some other medical students that are second years. I would bring the girls with me and Hallee was pretty good just to sit and watch. She was a very good cheerleader!  Jared's team was a bunch of white, nerdy, med students. They were beating teams, to avoid being racist let's just say they were naturally more athletic.  I was a very proud wife. They were the regular season champions, but came up short in the tournament.  There were a few players including Jared who got to play in the All Star game. 

After the all star game-the last game

this was her usual position 

the all star team.

Of course Jared has to get hurt while playing basketball. He got a very bad hit to the eye which resulted in a black eye. He was very proud of it. Everyone joked saying that I hit him for never being home. I'm really glad Jared got to play in this league. He loves playing basketball and this will be the last time for awhile that he will be able to play in a league. 

Stewarts come to DC

We were lucky enough to have Brad, Kimberly, and Luke come and visit us. It was fun to have them here and Hallee loved having Luke to play with. It was conference weekend so we tried to do as much as we could between each session. We started off Saturday morning at the zoo. The kids loved running around and seeing all the animals. 

mckenna was such a good baby just hanging out in the stroller

climbing the robes above our heads, the kids loved it!

Sunday morning before conference started we headed to Arlington Cemetery. I really glad we got to go there. I have been wanting to go there, but didn't want to go by myself. 

 

Tara went to a lot of work finding our Great Uncles grave. It was cool to see the grave and get a picture by it. 

On Monday Brad and Kimberly took off downtown and I watched Luke. The kids had a lot of fun playing. Once they got home we took them to Brookside Gardens. It was the perfect time because all the tulips were in full bloom. It was so pretty. The kids had a great time running around. 

Tuesday we went downtown and walked the monuments and checked out the Natural History Museum. The kids loved all the animals. It was a lot of fun to have them here! Hallee was so sad to have Luke leave.
