Easter 2010 - The hunt and the basket

Easter morning ended up being a lazy, but wonderful morning. We had to miss church because mommy was still pretty sick so we ended up staying in our jammies a bit longer than normal and enjoyed the slow pace. We made resurrection crescents again and had the best time hunting for Easter Eggs, sorting through my goodies, and opening up a great Easter Basket. It was a great morning...and eventually...my mommy started feeling better!



Found one!And another....Now, I just have to grab as many as I can...Collecting my loot... So proud of my egg hunting skills

Gotta love the candy!

I just had to have everything sorted out into piles - just like mom and dad =) sooooooo happy

Miss Becky gave this idea to my mom - it was a hit - I love my water squirter!!!

New bath toys - the best!!!

The joy that Joshua experienced throughout the day on Resurrection Sunday was amazing!!! More pics to come!

Painting Easter Eggs - IN THE SINK!!!

Well, as you know my mom has been a bit under the weather and while trying to "do it all" she realized we were simply running out of time to get everything done. So, after my day at Kensington and my night out to eat with Grandpa and Grandma Cripe it was getting very late and we still need to make our Easter Eggs. So....mom pulled everything out and let me paint (it was soooo much cooler than dipping them in cups - I made each one very special and loved it) the eggs while taking my "bath" for the night in the kitchen sink. It was a blast!!! I could get messy and it didn't matter - and my eggs turned out great! Check it out =)

Kensington Egg Hunt and Farm Show

On Saturday morning I had plans to go to the farm with my grandma and papa, but my papa wasn't feeling well so my grandma, mommy, and daddy took me instead (mommy wasn't feeling good either, but she was better off than papa). So, we packed up and headed out to Kensington Farm for a picnic lunch, time with the animals, an egg hunt, and a farm show. The coolest part was that my friend Hannah was there with her mom and dad also - what a great day!!!


Here I am trying to call a goat over for some food. This is me covering my nose because the cows were sooooo stinky!

Having fun with mommy

Enjoying the day with Grandma

Ah - ha - after I got done crying because I was scared when all of the kids went running for eggs...I got the hang of it and was able to get a few!

so happy to see candy inside!!!

Farmer John showing us how to quiet a pig

His dog "Smudge" giving him a hug

Watching the show with Grandma

This was really funny watching "Goofy" the goat and "Smudge" the dog...Smudge loved Goofy's milk!!!!

We had a great day and the weather was awesome. It didn't rain until we left =)

Wonderful Warm Weather

Despite my mommy having some major allergy issues, she has tried really hard to let me spend as much time as possible having fun outside while we experience some amazing spring weather. Today (Friday) Keisha and Daniel came over to play for the day. We started the day playing with my toys and puzzles......

...then we made resurrection crescents - (mom's friend Becky gave us this recipe and we loved it - we'll post it soon).

Check out the surprised faces when we took them out of the oven and seen that Jesus "body" had disappeared from the grave clothes - HE IS RISEN!!!!

Then we headed outdoors - and Daniel helped me out with my tricycle.....

.......we even went to my dad's job to enjoy some pizza and play time on the playground........

...then we came home and inflated the bounce house for some afternoon fun - it was great!!!!

It's going to be hard to say goodbye to this perfect weather - but at least we were able to enjoy it for awhile =)

Just Stuff

Mom is trying to get her camera card all cleared out and ready to go as we get ready to celebrate Easter so here are just a few of the things that I've been up to lately....

Here are Nick and I taking an afternoon "rest" - it never lasts long - but it is always very cute.

Here are Grandma and I having a little picnic - look at me pour the water al by myself - I'm so big!!!

One morning I called my mommy to come get me up - this is what she found - I love to grab anything I can find and stack it up into piles =)

A couple of weeks ago I had a little stomach bug - after spending two days watching videos mommy couldn't take it anymore - so we pulled out the pudding and made paintings - what fun!!! It helped me feel better too =)
