Spring is slowly getting here!

 Watching the spitting dinosaur!

Eva Kate Jones :)  She loved wearing Daddy's Indiana Jones hat to the zoo!

She wanted to ride the carousel, just not one of the animals

She loved chasing her friend Shelby through the cave at the zoo :)


EK, is 3 years and 7 months today.  She continues to be such a joy in our lives.  Spring has sprung in Alabama and we have enjoyed some fun outings with our taste of warmer weather here and there.  Last Friday we spent a day at the zoo with some friends from church.  Eva Kate loved seeing all the animals and even got to experience the cool Dino Adventure at the Birmingham Zoo.  She loved looking at all the mechanical dinosaurs and her favorite was the "Spitting Dinosaur".  My friend Courtney Snuggs captured the photos above and the first one was EK watching the dinosaur who liked to spit water at the zoo guest.  Eva Kate was so fascinated by it all.  She also enjoyed the petting zoo where she was able to touch sheep, goats, and pigs.  She named all the animals we saw without prompting if she knew their names and repeated the animal names of the ones she didn't know after we told her what the animal was.  She is making so much progress and continues to amaze us daily.



We had such a blessed Easter, filled with fun memories.  We went to an Easter egg hunt at Riverchase UMC on the Saturday before Easter where EK and Mollie hunted for eggs and did Easter crafts.  On Easter morning we had so much fun watching the girls get their goodies that the Easter Bunny left and fighting over the new toys he left too!  Then it was off to RUMC to church for Easter service.  (Pretty Easter dress photos to come, once I dump them off our other cameras).  After church we went to Gardendale where we ate lunch, took family Easter photos, and hunted for more eggs at Grandmommy's house with my sister Sandy's two children, Cole and Sarah.

Help Uncle Kevin!

 Starting to get good at finding eggs!

She liked swinging her new Easter egg basket and watching the eggs fly out!

"Hey Daddy, it's a poopull egg" :)
