April was full of fun and visitors! First we had Grandpa, Aunt Fal and Uncle Al! It was so much fun to see them yet a little crazy for me. Fallon was a little younger than Colton when I met her and now she is a beautiful young lady. It made me realize that I really need to slow down and enjoy each little moment with my young family. Grandpa is so great with the kids. He can usually be found where ever they are and he is on the floor playing right along with them. Then we had Uncle Kris, Aunt Tobi and Cousins Levi and Jacob. It was so fun to see Uncle Kris with Jillian. They had a tender special relationship. She isn't quick to share her smiles like her brother so it was neat to see her open up. I loved watching all the boys play too. Colton still talks about his cousins Levi and Jacob to anyone that will listen. He is a huge name dropper with all of his little friends. He is definitely cooler because he knows these big handsome boys. (Again.. Levi was 18 months old when I met that special little guy and now he is a man.) The time zooms by!
While the Magruders were here the boys did a lot of ground squirrel hunting and I roped Tobi into helping me with the Easter festivities. Colton was very sweet at the hunt his first two eggs he picked up "were for the babies." He is a great big brother.
