Angel Baby

I have started calling Camden my angel baby.  This boy seriously is the best baby.  Ever.  I think that Heavenly Father must have known that I couldn't take a whole lot right now, and he sent me the best baby.  I consider myself lucky every single day.  He is almost always happy, he's a great sleeper, and he loves to laugh.  He makes his mama so happy!

His Knees

Someone please save me.  My little boy is trying to grow up too fast.  He is already getting his knees up underneath him.

I am so not ready for this!

First Park Day of 2013

Nice weather calls for some time at the park, right?

Janell had called, saying that they were going to have a picnic at the park since it was spring break and the first day of the week that had even been nice enough to spend some time at the park.  We had been out running errands all morning, and I wasn't feeling all that great, but we knew we wanted some sunshine and fresh air.

Everyone else in the neighborhood felt the same way, so it was pretty packed, but the kids were excited to be there.

The thing Abbi wanted to do most of all was swing.  She got quite upset when there were constantly other kids on the swings, but finally, one opened up and she didn't want to leave!

Easton is totally growing up and just was happy to wander around by himself checking everything (and everyone) out.

Eventually, Abbi moved over to one of the baby swings.  (I can't believe she fit in there!!)

And there she stayed until it was time to go home!

I tried to give Easton a turn, but he wasn't into the whole swing thing.  Either that or he was just tired because it was nap time.

I forsee lots of park days in our near future!!

Easter 2013

Another Easter! It kind of snuck up on me this year since it's not even April yet!

It was a great day, starting off with a visit from the Easter bunny. The kid's baskets were filled, and they each got a new Easter outfit.

Easton was up first (as usual) and wasn't very happy (as usual).

But as soon as he saw his Easter basket - specifically the monster truck - he cheered right up!!

And even though Camden didn't know what was going on, he still was as happy as normal.

Pretty soon, Abbi was up, and was excited to see what the Easter bunny left her.  And of course, she was the most excited about her new mini Lalaloopsy!

We went to church and had a great meeting, although it wasn't an Easter program like I had hoped it would be.  But it was still good, so I guess that's all that matters, right?

When we got home, I tried to get a picture of the kids in their Easter clothes before they changed.  I wasn't very successful, although it was more successful than last year!!

That evening, we headed down to Tami's for food, fun, and Easter egg hunting.

The eggs were hidden all over the yard for the kids.

And I had a little grumpy one. :)

But he cheered up once he was able to start finding some eggs.

It was a great time as usual, and we can't wait to do it again next year!

Coloring the Eggs

After the egg hunt, we headed back home to color Easter eggs.  The kids were super excited!!

Both kids wanted to just start putting eggs in the colors and didn't want to wait for help from mom or dad.  I think we only had one or two cracked eggs! ;)

And how I love this boy.  He was just as happy as can be to sit and watch everything going on!!

Our Easter egg coloring soon turned into "let's see how many colors we can get onto each egg."  It did make for some interesting looking eggs, though!!

The whole time, Abbi kept asking when she could put stickers on the eggs, and I told her that she had to wait until they were dry.  So they were excited later that afternoon when I got the eggs back out so that they could draw on them and put stickers on them.  (Ignore that Easton has no clothes on and that Abbi had changed clothes and has stickers stuck in her hair. :) )

It's always a highlight for the kids to color eggs, and they had fun again this year!!
