A Few of My Favorite Things

These are a "few" of my favorite photos over the past 3 months.

John Reagan is my helper in the bunch. He was a big help getting leaves up this year. His make shift wheelbarrow!

He wanted his golf clubs and his bike, and he decided he could have both.
This is John Reagan and Evie to a tee. He told her, "Evie, scratch my back." And she did. How funny! She is even getting instructions.
Evie girl loves the outdoors, and now that she has figured out how fun the trampoline is she stays on it. This was a cold day in February!

Our day at Jimmie Davis State Park.

And Miss Averi...
This is her favorite place to sit and her favorite way to sit.

Her favorite seat! Her favorite activity...working that tongue.
After bath time is just as much fun as bath time.

Whew! I am finally caught up. Now to stay on top of it!

A side note...I HATE when blogger decides to have a mind of its own.

Something Old, Something New, and In Between

Since I am so behind on some of the Hasley Happenings I will be condensing today. You faithful blog readers know what that means. Yep: long and lots of pictures. We will start with some of the old.

First of all, something old! I cannot believe I forgot to put this in our "Family Additions" post, but I sure did. A piano...new to us, old in every other aspect. I have always said I would like a piano; however, it had to be the right piano. I ran upon that back in June. We were at my Grandmother's church, where my mom grew up. The piano has been there for umpteen years, but it caught my eye this time around. Of course I haven't been in the back of the church in umpteen years myself. So I asked my grandmother what they planned to do with the piano because they haven't used it in years. How convenient for me that they were wanting to get rid of it. Woohoo! We picked it up at the beginning of last month. After emailing a man with the serial number I have found out it was made in 1915. And yes it does work and sounds very good. This particular brand was and is known for its sweetness of sound and tone.

Now the something old happening that I should be ashamed of for not already having on here. Averi's baby dedication was March 6th. She is the only child of ours that had family other than my parents at her dedication. The whole thing was very sweet, and we enjoyed sharing it with church family who have been church family for decades.

This is not the best picture but one of the few with the whole gown.

The In Between:

I would say this is a tired little girl.

This is not the best looking picture overall, but I just love the look that Averi has here. She is getting so big. I look at her and am in awe at how big she looks, and the funny part is that she is our smallest baby at this point. So then I think, "Wow, how big the other two were!"

We went to the "local" State Park one day and grilled hot dogs and had lots of fun together.

We have come to discover this is a baby blue heron. This particular area on the way into the park is a bird watchers hot spot known for the eagles' nests. We were very surprised to catch the baby heron peeking out of the nest because we had no clue that they normally nested this far above the ground.

The kiddos enjoyed being outside and playing around.

And finally the something new:
Yesterday John Reagan had his school Easter party at the director's house. He got to have Mommy and Daddy all to himself for a couple of hours. Pawcaw and Nana came over to watch the girls. We had lots of fun watching him with his friends and watching him take it all in.
He even got to take a picture with the Easter Bunny!

We have been busy running the roads and anything and everything else. T-Ball has officially started, so the pace has picked up even more. We are happy for the opportunity to slow down and celebrate Jesus and his Resurrection. Hope all of you have a wonderful Easter!
