Easter Fun in the Sun

We enjoyed such a great Easter this year; this was Colton's first Easter & it was also the first Easter that B has actually enjoyed the traditional kid fun Easter things!!  I decided to do buckets for them this year instead of baskets; I figure we can use the buckets this summer & on vacation & then maybe next year will be the year that I get them the fancy ones that we pull out every year.



I put their name on one side & their initial on the other................cute??


Colton liked the basket but LOVED the grass in the bottom more!!




  B loved his stuff too but when he realized that the bunny was chocolate he was in heaven & took the ears right off the poor little guy.


I love that Colton wanted to read his card even if he just looked at it & then tried to eat it.


We pulled out B's table & the hard boiled eggs & let B & the neighbor kids dye them.  B lacked patience when it came to leaving the eggs alone to soak up the color but he did better than I thought he would & the eggs turned out alright.




When we were done with the egg dying we moved onto the Easter Egg hunt.  B LOVED the eggs that I found that you squeeze & confetti goes every where the most.



Colton even got in on the fun & PaPa helped him find an egg or two.


We had an amazingly yummy dinner that & played outside for most of the day............it was the best Easter with the boys to date!!


I thought I would share that Lance brought me home the most beautiful tulips too............isn't he sweet!!

Our Easter

We had such a wonderful Easter this past Sunday & the only thing missing was my side of the family & Lance's sister, her hubby & their kids.  We will have everyone here soon enough for Colton's birth though so we are really looking forward to that!!

We had family over & I cooked for everyone; can I just say that I LOVE to cook & have missed doing it.  I have been really into baking & with Lance's new work hours cooking hasn't really been a priority or needed really.  B & I eat well but who wants to cook a whole yummy meal each & every night when you can't enjoy it as a family?  Anyway, we had Lance's parents, & both brothers over for dinner & I made ham, turkey, yams, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, broccoli & cheese, corn, rolls & then I made carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese icing & we bought a chocolate cake too.  It was so much food & if I do say so myself it was delicious.

It really was nice to just enjoy a family day around our house & I really look forward to more of them.; we are always on the go; granted that is my doing because I can't sit still;  I really enjoyed having a day at our home.

 Flying his new kite with dad.


He got new bubble blowers in his basket but his old on is still his favorite.  



Daddy helping him look at all the goodies in his basket. 
 




PaPa was a good Easter bunny.

Red faced & tired from running around outside.

Wrestling with his new Easter Mickey that JuJu & PaPa got him.

It was such an amazing day............even though I was praying to go into labor & that didn't happen it...hahaha

Catch Up Cont'd - Easter Sunday

This little gummy smile brightens my day & fills my heart with the greastest joy I have ever known!! 
 We moved on Saturday & slept in our new house for the first time that night so when we woke up Sunday morning it was Easter & the Easter bunny had come so we had plans to go to lunch with PaPa & JuJu & then take B to thank the Easter Bunny.......... 
The whole car ride to lunch I was wondering if he was going to laugh at the bunny or cry......as we turned into the resturant which is right by the mall I noticed the there were NO cars at the mall!!
Yep, MOM FAIL....the mall was closed & I missed out on taking B to see the bunny on his 1st ever Easter!!
Lance & his parents told me he wouldn't remember anyway but I will; I should have planned better & not let the move get in the way of one of B's firsts.......B was fine but I was crushed!!
We had a wonderful lunch & B had fun playing with the children's paper menu!
We ate & then headed back to the house to get some much needed unpacking done........
Brayden played with his plastic eggs like such..........
Played with his new favorite toy with his JuJu........
& sat on the sofa with his PaPa.........
All in all it was a great 1st Easter but I will forever be upset about Brayden NOT seeing the Easter bunny all because his mommy didn't play better!!

We Are All Moved In...Can I Get A Woo Hoo!!

Now we have to get it all organized & decorated which I am VERY excited about!! I took Monday & Tuesday off to get the boxes all unpacked & most of them have been emptied & everything has been put in it's place but there is still so much to do. I need at least 5 more hours in each dy these days!!

B did really well throughout the whole weekend & move; he spent most of Saturday with his JuJu holding him & then we were going to take him to see the Easter bunny on Sunday but the stupid mall was closed so now I have no picture of B & the bunny for his 1st Easter! Everyone kept saying that he wouldn't know the difference but the fact is I do & I should have done it before we got caught up in the move........MOM FAILED!!

Our phone lines are all messed up so AT&T has to come out & get the them in order on Saturday & once our internet is up & running I promise to post pictures of our fun filled moving weekend, B's 8 month day, Easter & the house! I hope that everyone had a very Happy & wonderful weekend & Easter & I can't wait to catch up on all my favorite blogs!!
