Easter 2012

We had a fun filled weekend.  Saturday we had diner together as a family then came back to Nana and Papa's house to color eggs again.  Ethan really enjoyed coloring eggs.  He did so well, not even making a mess.  Which was very nice for us.

 Showing off the hard work.

 The Easter bunny left gifts for Ethan and Dada.

 Ethan before church.  He did not want to wear the golf hat so that is why it is all crazy.  This was only taken after bribing him with a car.

 My entire world!

 Opening our Easter basket

 Nana and Papa came over with a basket as well.

 Ethan got a Cars House from Nana and Papa.  He was so excited.  Only problem was he wanted to put up right then.

 The big Easter egg hunt at the Farm.

 Ethan had egg hunting down.  He loved getting the eggs.

 Looking at all the goodies inside.

 After the family gathering we went to see his cousins, uncle Marky, Papaw & Mamaw. We had a small egg hunt there too.

We had a wonderful holiday weekend with family.  With all the holiday fun and festivities I hope everyone remembers what Easter is all about.  I am so grateful for the sacrifice that was made for us on the cross and the promise of everlasting life we are given through Jesus. I am so blessed to have an amazing family.  I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. 

Catch Up

Figured I would make a "catch up" blog since I have not bee updating like I should.  Like I said last blog things have been very busy around the house.  With the nice weather we have been trying to spend as much time outside as we can.  Ethan absolutely loves the park.  Since we have one in the neighborhood it makes it nice.  The only problem is we have to drive by it to daily to go to our house and there are some days it is a challenge as once Ethan sees the Park, he wants to go. 

 Making new friends.  I think it is so sweet how Kids instantly want to play together.  Every time we go to the park.  Ethan always makes a new friend.  He is not shy and so friendly.

 Ethan loves his cousins so we try to spend time with them when we can.  They are so wonderful with Ethan.  Here is Haidyn playing with Ethan.

 Haidyn, Haleigh, and Ethan.

 One night we went bowling for fun.  Ethan absolutely loved this.  He wanted to go for everyone.  Papa helping Ethan bowl.

 Since Mike works nights now Ethan loves to come get in the "big bed".  I enjoy the snuggles too.  We have been working on saying our prayers every night.  It is so sweet hearing Ethan's little voice say his prayers.  He even reminds me a lot of nights to "say prayer momma". 

 This was from St Paddy's Day. 

 More time with Haleigh.  We enjoyed the day together playing.

 Arts and Crafts are always fun too.

 For Good Friday Papa took off to spend some time with us.  First we had lunch with Nana and Papa.  Then Papa went to enjoy the park with us.  Ethan loves having his papa go down the slides and chase him. 

 Ethan has grown so much over these past few months.  He talks so much and really can carry on a conversations.  He knows most of his ABCs and the sounds the letters makes.  He will count to 3 on his own.  He still loves cars but now enjoys dinosaurs, trains and action figures too.  Ethan is very independent and likes to try and do things on his own but still likes to have people close by.  I am so blessed to be his mommy.  Every day Ethan amazes me with something new.
