Easter

My Easter was a lot of fun. I got to do a whole bunch of fun stuff. On Thursday, we had an Easter party and Easter egg hunt at my school, and my Mommy got to be there.

The eggs broke open, and there were goldfish and cheerios inside...pretty neat!

On Friday, I went over to Kamdyn's house for another Easter egg hunt, and they had Cascarones, and treat filled eggs.

On Saturday, my Mom and I dyed Easter eggs, and let me tell you something, I LOVED IT! I liked to dip my spoon in the dye to check the eggs, and my Mom let me drop the eggs into the dye bath all by myself.

I was pretty proud of my beautiful eggs.

On Sunday morning when I woke up, I found out that the Easter bunny had hopped in overnight and filled my basket with some treats. Next year, I think the Easter Bunny needs to bring me a bigger basket. I got some sidewalk chalk, some markers, a Mr. Potato head, some books, a spinning top, a stuffed rabbit, some necklaces and bracelets, a pinwheel, and some sand toys.

Do you think these necklaces go with my beautiful Easter dress?

After Church, we went with Gran and Toby and crew to Pappasito's. I tried some queso on my chip, and it was pretty good stuff.

After we were done eating, we went home, and spent the rest of the day watching The Masters. It was a great Easter.

Happy Easter

Big Girl

I took Lila for her 1 year old check-up last week. She is weighing in at a big 18 1/2 lbs these days, and is 29 inches tall (or short). For those of you keeping track of the numbers, that puts her in the 5th percentile for her age. It is amazing how she packs so much energy in that little body. Lila had to get some lab work done while we were there, and she was a champ. This picture was taken outside the doctor's office. She was very proud of her bandaged finger, and her two stickers!

Big Pigs

Do you see what I see? You have to look very close. That's right...PIG TAILS!

The girls that take care of her at daycare decided to give her pigtails. I can't believe she sat still to let them do this, and I really can't believe she left them in all day. They were very very cute.

Lila loves...

Books

All dogs, especially Rowdy

Pointing

She is constantly pointing and saying "that", as in "I want that"

Breakfast

It is pretty much the only meal she eats, unless you count snack as a meal, and she eats a huge breakfast for such a little body.

Taking everything out of the drawers in her room

Pink shoes

She loves these pink Converse All Stars. When she is not wearing them, she will go find them and pack them around and play with them.

The Graduate

On Tuesday, February 24th, Jonathan graduated from the Paul Mitchell Hair Academy. We are all very proud of you. Jon, you pointed out that when you started there, Mom had breast cancer; a lot has happened since then. You have grown up a lot, and overcome many things that most people won't ever have to deal with in their life. This graduation is a kind of a closure of sorts, but more of a testament to all you have accomplished. You helped me out a lot when Lila was born, and I was overwhelmed to see you so happy and meet your goal, and know how much it means to you. You are on the right road, and there are many good times ahead for you.

Baby Jack

A couple weeks ago, we made the trip to Houston to meet Baby Jack. He belongs to my best friend Ashley and her husband Grant. Ashley and Grant have hoped, prayed, tried for, and waited for Jack a long time. We had a great time...Shawn and Grant did some fishing (or so they say), and Ashley,Lila, Jack, and I went on a nice long walk, and lounged around the house. It was so nice to see the miracle for myself. I have known Ashley for a long time. We have been through teenage years, college, weddings, and a few tough times together, and it was really like a dream come true to be able to be together with our children.
