Happy Easter

Our friends, the Boney's, are in town from Tampa so we all wanted to get together to spend time with them and have our kids play together. So, Saturday afternoon we had an Easter Egg hunt. On the menu, DESSERTS!!!

Me and my bright ideas strike again...A BUNNY CAKE!!!! This time Nick got roped in. I baked the cakes and made the icing Saturday morning and WE decorated it during B's nap.

We had so much fun together...a lot of laughing during this process. Nick is a pro. I couldn't have done it without him.

Bryant loved watching the mixer run...he would get mad when it would stop.

Gotta have pink ears



Finished product...I think it turned out pretty cute!



The cake made it to the party!!!

We had a wonderful afternoon visiting with friends.


Left to right: Jordan and Jackson, Anna and Bradford, Kasi and Henry, Angela and Annaleigh, Katie and Benjamin, Amy and Caroline, Me and B, Alissa and Reed.











He had a blast playing in the water...and got all wet!
I think he kept thinking he was going to get in trouble, but once he figured out that I wasn't saying no....it was a good ole splish, splashin' time!











I took some pictures of B this morning after church service...









He looked super cute in the john-john I made him.

I prepared a wonderful Easter Supper: Beef tips with Rice and Gravy, Green-bean Casserole and Hash-brown Casserole. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Bunny cake and egg shaped rice krispie treats for dessert.

After our naps we went outside so B could pick up his eggs in the backyard...












Memory Lane...EASTER Last Year.




He is Risen! Happy Easter everyone!

A Walk Through Jerusalem

We just got home from "A Walk Through Jerusalem" an event put on by our church. It was really neat to see what Jerusalem would have been like during Jesus' time. The best part were the live animals.





















A great way to end Palm Sunday!

2x2 Field Day and Egg Hunt

We just got home from an outing with our Sunday school class, 2x2. We had an indoor game of kickball and the kids enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt. Had to share some pictures.

Great day!

Bounce

Bryant and I go to the library for story time on Wednesdays. The librarian will typically read two stories. There are puppets (black birds, a turtle and a mouse) and we sing songs which the kids can move freely too. He really likes story time and pays attention, but he really doesn't get into the singing, dancing and motions.

Today, he was very observant!!! When we got home he started doing this....(watch video)....Which I later called bouncing...



He must have picked it up from one of the other kids. I need to work with him to refine his skills.

Lately

Bryant's new game is to thrown things over the gate, down the stairs. I don't know why he does it. It started with the laundry and now it's his toys.





He has found his reflection in the mirror. ...At first he thought it was another person, but then quickly figured out it was him.



I gave my boys haircuts on Saturday. I didn't get a picture of Nick, but I was able to get this picture of B playing with his train.



I thought it was funny that he was playing with Mr. Bear on the floor and then went and found this book.



Nick worked in the yard on Saturday. I did come out and help for a little while. We moved some stuff around, added some new pine bark and laid some new sod. We also put some flowers in our planters next to the door.









Sunday night story time with Dada is always fun. B loves for Nick to read this particular book to him.



Last night, Nick took B outside. He was so curious about the kids in the circle riding their bikes. I had to get this sweet picture of them.



Oh, yeah...and everything is still a hat in our house.
