More Easter

We had a great Easter filled with dying eggs, egg hunts, family, food, and most importantly church. The kids had fun getting their Easter baskets. Holidays are so much fun with them. I really love seeing them interact with each other.....it makes my heart smile.

I tried to make Anna Claire understand what Easter is really about, and that it is much more about Jesus' resurrection than the Easter Bunny, eggs, etc. I guess that's a really hard concept to grasp for a 3 year old. She was however very interested this year in the Easter story.

Rock Star and brother

Anna Claire came out of her room the other night and said mommy look I'm a rock star! WHAT your 4!!!! Where does she get this stuff? I must say she did pretty good.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Already loves his truck!

A Funny Leighton Story

I can't seem to keep up with Leighton's pacifiers, but really that's not uncommon they just always seem to disappear. I just assumed they were in random places like the car, under the couch, etc. Well I rolled his crib away from the wall the other day and found atleast 8 pacifiers and whats really funny is they were all in one spot. I guess he throws them in the same place. :)

Easter Eggs

Anna Claire loves dying Easter eggs. I love that she and Matt do this together every year. It's their thing, and I think it is so cute. Matt is such a sweet daddy!

Leighton is 10 Months

No my baby can not be 10 months old! WHEW, it really has flown by. What a fun 10 months it has been. I can't remember my life without him.

Here are some things I want to remember about Lay at 10 months
--When he's happy his mouth is wide open, it's the funniest thing (he smiles with it open)
--You can't leave the room after you have intiated feeding him, even if he's done and you walk out to get something he gets SO mad. Such a mild temper...yeah right :)
--When I walk in the room after being gone and he's been with Matt, he starts getting whinny. (according to Matt :) I guess he knows I'll give him lots of loving if he's fussy.
--Biz is his best buddy, when he touches Biz he goes nuts
--He never has more than one sock on at a time--they always fall off
--Loves remote controls and electronics, prefers them over any toy
--Loves making noise with toys
--Just started claping, I love to watch his sweet little hands
--Waves bye, fusses at Biz (like I do) after I say NO BIZ, he will point his little finger out and a make a loud noise
--Loves sisters room--especially her kitchen
--Lights up when he sees sister
--Loves his Grandma....always reaches for her
--Loves patty cake, singing, dances when he hears music
--He really only wants to nurse during the night and early in the morning (yes, I still get up with him during the night....crazy I know). I secretly like how cuddly and sweet he is in the middle of the night. I think for me it's become our special time just the two of us.
--Hates to be on his back ---that's why we call him turtle
--Takes two people to change his diaper...he dosen't like it
--Likes his bath, especially with sister
--Loves outside
--Likes his daddy to sit with him and watch TV---he won't sit still with me
--He's eating just about anything we eat that can be chopped up. He's a pretty good eater.
--LOVES Ritz crackers, they can always buy you a couple of minutes for a restroom break :)
--The only ways he can be contained in his walker or exersaucer is if he's having a snack





I love those juicy legs!!!!
We had his Baby Dedication Sunday at church. It was a special day for him and our family. We know what a gift he is from God and we are truly blessed. It was a fun time, both sets of Grandparents went with us to church and then we got to all have lunch together at my moms. It is so awesome to have the family that we've been blessed with. Yet another gift from God.

NEW BLOG

Thanks to Matt and this snowy, beautiful day I have a new blog format. I think it's great, I was getting tired of the other one.

Curls and Random Pictures

I love this shot! The ice cream man is a bright spot in her day. She loves it!

Anna Claire's babies and my baby having breakfast. They all eat together most mornings :)

Sunday after church we saw the first real curl in Leighton's hair. I'm still not sure if this means he will have curly hair, but I have to say it was pretty cute. It just curled up right behind the ears. It was humid so that may be the only reason.
