HAPPY EASTER!!

WE HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL EASTER! I KNOW WE DID. WE WENT TO CHURCH AND THEN WE HAD ALL OF OUR FAMILIES OVER HERE FOR LOTS OF GOOD FOOD AND FUN! I KNOW I ATE WAY TOO MUCH AND WILL HAVE TO WORK EXTRA HARD AT THE GYM TOMORROW,BUT IT WAS JUST ALL SO GOOD. WE HAD MI MI A STRAWBERRY BIRTHDAY CAKE FROM EDGARS TOO BECAUSE HER BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW AND THAT THING WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED:)!! I DON'T THINK ANY OF THE KIDS SLOWED DOWN TO EAT ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR CANDY THAT WAS IN THE EASTER EGGS THAT THEY FOUND. I KNOW THE BOYS HAD A BALL AND WERE ASLEEP BEFORE 7:30. THEY LOVED HAVING GRIFFIN, MADISON, WESTON, JALEN, AND ELIJAH OUT HERE. JAX LOVED HAVING BROOKS OUT HERE TOO. THEY DO WHAT THEY DO BEST AND JUST SLEPT AND ATE ALL DAY! I TOOK PLENTY OF PICTURES TODAY AND STILL HAVE PICTURES TO POST FROM OUR EASTER EGG HUNT WITH THE CHURCH ON SATURDAY, SO HOPEFULLY I WILL HAVE TIME TO DO THAT TOMORROW. FOR NOW YOU CAN ENJOY THESE CUTE LITTLE PICTURES OF JAX ALL DRESSED UP FOR HIS FIRST EASTER EGG HUNT.

WIDE AWAKE AND THEN HE IS OUT!!!

JAX WAS JUST A TALKING TO HIS TOYS AND SMILING AT THE BOYS AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER HE WAS OUT! I JUST LOVE WATCHING THE BOYS WITH HIM AND HE WILL JUST STARE AT THEM AND TRY TO FIND THEM WHEN HE HEARS THEIR VOICES. I THINK HE LOVES TO HEAR THEM BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED PUTTING HIM IN HIS BED DURING THE DAY TO TAKE NAPS,BUT HE WAKES UP. I AM PRETTY SURE IT IS BECAUSE IT IS SO QUIET IN THERE, BECAUSE WHEN I TAKE HIM BACK TO HIS SWING IN THE LIVING ROOM HE SLEEPS LIKE A ROCK!

THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!!!

THE EASTER BUNNY CAME TO OUR HOUSE A DAY EARLY THIS YEAR. I DECIDED TO START A NEW TRADITION BECAUSE I WANTED SUNDAY TO BE ALL ABOUT JESUS AND WHAT HE DID FOR US. I DID NOT WANT THE BOYS TO THINK EASTER WAS ABOUT SOME BUNNY OR EGGS. I ALSO DID NOT WANT THE EASTER BUNNY MAKING MY MORNING ANY MORE STRESSFUL WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO GET READY FOR CHURCH. WE REALLY DID NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE EASTER BUNNY UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE THEY WENT TO BED, SO THEY WERE REALLY SHOCKED ON SATURDAY WHEN THEY WOKE UP. DADDY STOPPED THEM IN THE HALL AND TOLD THEM THAT THE EASTER BUNNY HAD COME. IT TOOK THEM A MINUTE TO FIND THEIR STUFF, BUT IT DID NOT TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO DIG IN. IT WAS CUTE, THEY KEPT SAYING, "LOOK WHAT THE EASTER BUNNY BROUGHT ME." THEY GOT LOTS OF STUFF FOR OUR BEACH TRIP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND SOME OF THEIR FAVORITE THINGS. JAX EVEN RACKED UP ON SOME CUTE OUTFITS AND A BUMBO TO HELP HIM SIT UP. I HAVE TO SAY I THINK THE EASTER BUNNY WAS EXTRA NICE TO THEM THIS YEAR.

I THINK THEY LIKED IT ALL!!

AUSTIN'S FAVORITE WAS HIS DINOSAURS AND SNAKES, AND AIDEN'S FAVORITE WAS HIS MONSTER TRUCK AND RACE CAR(THAT HE TOOK FROM AUSTIN'S DUMP TRUCK). IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE THEY BOTH JUST TOOK WHAT THEY WANTED OUT OF EACH OTHERS BASKETS AND DUMP TRUCKS. I WAS ALITTLE SCARED BECAUSE THEY HAD DIFFERENT THINGS AND I DID NOT WANT THEM FIGHTING OVER ANYTHING, BUT THEY DID GREAT. JAX EVEN LOVES HIS BUMBO . HE LIKES TO SIT UP AND LOOK AROUND AT EVERYTHING, SO I KNOW HE IS GOING TO LOVE IT. THE BOYS HAD ONE JUST LIKE THIS AND LOVED IT, BUT IT GOT THROWN AWAY DURING ALL THE MOVING. I GUESS DADDY THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THE KIDDO'S:)!!!

DYING EASTER EGGS!

THE BOYS HAD FUN AND MADE A BIG MESS FOR MOMMY TO CLEAN. THEY HAD THE DYE ALL OVER OF THEM, THE TABLE, AND THE FLOOR. IT WAS FUN AND THEIR FAVORITE PART WAS PUTTING T HE STICKERS ON. JAX JUST HUNG OUT IN MY ARMS THE WHOLE TIME, BUT I KNOW NEXT YEAR HE WILL BE MAKING A MESS TOO!

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST SET OF PICTURES AUSTIN GOT BORED WITH THE EGGS AND STARTED DECORATING HIS ARM. HE ALSO MANAGED TO BUST TWO OF THEM AND I AM PRETTY SURE IT WAS ON PURPOSE. HE CANT HELP IT, HE ACTS LIKE HIS MOMMY:)!

SO SWEET!!

THESE ARE THE PIECES THAT I HAD MADE FOR JAXSON'S ROOM. I ALSO HAD MI MI AND GI GI SOMETHING REALLY CUTE MADE, BUT IT IS A SURPRISE SO I WILL HAVE TO SHARE THOSE LATER.

GETTING READY FOR THE EASTER BUNNY!!

I THINK THIS IS ONE CUTE BUNNY!! JAX WAS BEING SUCH A GOOD LITTLE BUNNY FOR THE CAMERA LAST NIGHT AFTER HIS BATH.

WELL, WE DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE GARDENS TODAY FOR PICTURES. JAX IS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH HIS PRETTY LITTLE FACE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THESE PICTURES IT WAS ALL CLEAR LAST NIGHT, BUT THIS MORNING AFTER HIS BATH IT WAS ALL MESSED UP AGAIN. WE GOT RID OF THE BABY ACNE, BUT HE NOW HAS SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS, WHICH IS CRADLE CAP, BUT IT IS ON HIS FACE TOO. IT STARTED MONDAY AND I CALLED THE DOCTOR AND WE STARTED WASHING HIS HEAD AND FACE WITH HEAD AND SHOULDERS. THAT CLEARED UP ON THE SIDE THAT WAS MESSED UP,BUT THE OTHER SIDE STARTED THE NEXT DAY. SO WE DID THE SAME THING AND IT CLEARED UP,BUT THE OTHER SIDE WAS MESSED UP AGAIN. I CALLED THE DOCTOR AGAIN TODAY AND THEY SUGGESTED WE TRY LOTRIMIN (ANTI FUGAL CREAM) TO TRY AND CLEAR IT ALL UP. SO WE WILL SEE. IT LOOKS REALLY BAD, BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO BOTHER HIM. THEY SAY IT IS ALL FROM MY HORMONES HE WAS GETTING AND I GUESS HE DOES NOT LIKE THEM. I CANT SAY I BLAME HIM FOR THAT:), BUT I WISH HIS PRETTY LITTLE FACE WILL STAY CLEAR!

WE DID DYE EASTER EGGS TONIGHT, BUT I DO NOT HAVE THEM UPLOADED YET, SO I WILL GET THOSE ON HERE SOON. WE HAVE A BUSY WEEKEND TOO, STARTING TOMMORROW NIGHT WITH A BIRTHDAY PARTY, THEN AN EASTER EGG HUNT WITH THE CHURCH SATURDAY MORNING, CHURCH ON SUNDAY, AND THEN BOTH SIDES OF OUR FAMILIES ARE COMING OVER FOR LUNCH AND AN EASTER EGG HUNT AFTER CHURCH.

I COULD NOT RESIST!!!

PRETTY BOY!

I COULD JUST EAT MY LITTLE MAN UP! THESE WERE FROM OUR PHOTO SHOOT TUESDAY WHEN HE ROLLED OVER. I DID NOT GET ANY GOOD BUNNY EAR SHOTS,BUT I DID GET SOME LAST NIGHT THAT I WILL SHARE LATER.

MOMMY IS BEING BRAVE TODAY AND IS GOING TO DRESS ALL THE BOYS IN THEIR CUTE EASTER OUTFITS AND ATTEMPT TO TAKE THEM TO THE GARDENS FOR SOME PICTURES! WE SHALL SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT, I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW:)!!

WE ARE COMING, MICKEY!!!

UNCLE JEFF BOOKED OUR FIRST BIG FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD TODAY. WE WILL ALL BE GOING ALONG WITH MI MI AND PAW PAW IN OCTOBER. I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THE BOYS THIS YEAR AND WE WILL BE THERE FOR A WEEK, SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO MUCH MORE.

HE IS ROLLING OVER!!

MY BABY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ROLLING OVER YET, BUT HE IS. I WAS IN FLOOR WITH HIM TRYING TO GET SOME PICTURES WITH HIS BUNNY EARS ON TODAY AND WHEN I PUT HIM ON HIS TUMMY HE ROLLED OVER TO HIS BACK! I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT AND THOUGTH MABEY I HAD PUT HIS HANDS UNDER HIS CHEST OR SOMETHING SO I DID IT AGAIN AND HE ROLLED OVER AGAIN. I REMEMBER I COULD NOT WAIT FOR THE BOYS TO ROLL OVER, SIT UP, WALK, AND TALK, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO SEE JAX DO ANY OF THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MEANS HE IS JUST GROWING UP.

THESE ARE PICTURES OF HIM BEFORE WE HEADED OUT TO CHURCH IN HIS SWEET LITTLE OUTFIT THAT HIS MI MI BOUGHT HIM. IF YOU EVER WONDER WHERE I GET MY LOVE FOR BABY CLOTHES, IT IS HER!!
