Easter Morning

We were home this year for Easter Sunday. The past few years we have been in Hilton Head with my family. We always did small Easter baskets b/c we were traveling but this year I went all out!!! The boys loved it and they are still eating there candy, I am helping!! We had a wonderful Easter dinner at Chris's brothers Jeremy's house. Christie and Jeremy were great hosts and the food was wonderful!! Chris's parents, as well as the boys, have been begging to take the boys so after Easter the boys headed up north. I worked a ton last weekend and then Chris and I headed to KY to see Sara and Tommy. Libby and Ava had flown in to celebrate Jack's first Birthday. We all enjoyed Jack's birthday last Saturday and as always Sara outdid herself!! It was a wonderful party with great food and great friends. Thanks Sara and Tommy for a wonderful weekend and we'll see you in two weeks, and tell Ella this time we will bring Jack and Wade with us!!

Fredrick Meijer Gardens

Jack and Wade got to go back to the Fredrick Meijer Gardens!!! Wade was so excited to see the butterflies again!!! (btw, he is still carrying around the butterfly booklet!!) This time we went with Jack's class from school. It was a perfect day and got up to 75 degrees!! I had never been to the outdoor gardens and I now that we have been I think we are going to become members because there is endless fun!

Easter Egg Hunt

The weekend before Easter we got together with 4 other families and had an Easter egg hunt!! The kids had a blast!! We went to our friends out in Lowell so there was lots of room outside to hide eggs. The little kids stayed by the house and found the eggs hiding in the grass while the bigger kids went into the woods and had to dig through leaves to find their's! They'll probably be finding Easter eggs all summer!!

After dinner the kids dyed eggs. Wade thought it was great and loved taking his egg in and out of the dye. I am surprised his hands were not blue by the time we left.

I am back!!

I couldn't let all the the great pictures from the last year go to waste and since pictures are what people really want to see, here you go!! I have updated all events from this past year and I am all caught up! I will try very hard to keep updating and stay current!!

March 2010 Wade is 2!!

For Wade's Birthday we started the day at Panera for a cookie and boxed milk, then we headed to Fredrick Meijer Garden. Wade couldn't stop talking about the butterflies!! When we got there and the butterflies were flying everywhere he got scared and cried for a bit! He warmed up to them and in the end did not want to leave. Becky and Drake joined us for lunch, I brought Jack to school and Becky took Wade to see the Butterflies one more time. We then went to Rose's where Becky and I enjoyed lunch and Wade enjoyed his birthday ice cream!! When we returned to get the truck from FMG Wade screamed "see butterflies, see butterlies". I had to tell him the butterflies were sleeping. The rest of the day Wade told everyone "butterflies nite nite, butterflies nite nite". He still reminds me everyday, "butterflies nite nite, butterflies nite nite".

Wade did NOT want his picture taken so this is the best I got!! Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy!!! Life just gets better and better! I watched to sleep today and noticed that because your eyelashes are so long they bend at the ends because you sleep on them. I only wish mine did that!! Thank you for your cheesy smile and a laugh that makes everyone turn and smile. Thank you too for your super wet kisses and your strong hugs. I love you Wadey Wade and can't wait to see what this year holds for you!!

March 2010 Wade is 2!!

February 2010 Virginia/OBX

We made the trip to VA this year to meet Libby and Justin's new baby girl Ava Suzanna. She was born in January and couldn't wait to get to VA to meet her. The boys think she is very special and Wade loves to comfort her when she cries, even though she hardly ever cries!! Justin and Libby couldn't be more proud of their new baby girl!
