Fun with Uncle Freddy

Sunday afternoon, we had my cousin Emily's bridal shower. I cannot believe that she is old enough to be getting married! Katie Lee could not wait to go to the shower because Emily was going to marry her boyfriend and she could eat mints. As soon as we got there the thought of eating mints left when she saw kids playing outside. She came in for a little bit but really wanted to go out and play. Luckily, Freddy was outside and she had lots of fun playing with him.

Easter at Grammie and Poppie's

Sunday afternoon and night we had Easter supper with Grammie and Poppie. They had eggs hidden all over the yard for Katie Lee. Boy have things changed since I was little. We hid real eggs and now they are plastic with candy and money inside.




Hayden and Mary Katilyn got in on the fun too. Katie Lee is just crazy about them.

Grammie and Poppie and Aunt Kitty and Uncle Wez all had treats for Katie Lee too.

Ready for Church

What's In Your Basket

We got up Sunday morning ready to find our Easter basket. The Easter Bunny hid her basket and she had to search for it, or maybe mommy put it away the night before so someone would not find it and then forgot to get it out before going to bed. You can decide which story you believe. :)

She had a new bathing suit, a puzzle, bubble bath, a bracelet, some candy, a rabbit, and The Easter Egg. I was so excited about giving her the book The Easter Egg by Jan Brett. She is one of my favorite children's authors. This book just came out the end of February and I ordered as soon as it did. We have read several others and Katie Lee loves them too.
Ready to see what all she got.

Egg Decorating

Saturday after our Easter egg hunt, shopping and a nap, Katie Lee and I colored eggs. She really had fun with this year doing this and got all involved. She wanted to do it all by herself. They turned out pretty good and she didn't crack any. Donnie got home just in time to see the finished project and to snap a picture of us together.

April Showers...didn't stop us!!!

Today we had our 2nd annual Easter Egg hunt with some of our friends from church. Amber and her sister were great host. Katie Lee has been so "egg-cited" about this all week, so a little rain this morning began to dampen her spirits. Luckily the sun came out, we put on our rain boots, and We had a wonderful time!

Ready for the hunt to begin...



Katie Lee found 10 which I thought wasn't too bad considering she had to check out what was on the inside of each one and she had to go to the bathroom during the middle of the hunt.


They all loved their snack.
By far, Katie Lee's favorite part was playing in the "park" as she calls it.



Can't wait to do it again next year!!!

Little Monkeys

These sweet little monkeys decided to take a break from playing Wednesday night after church.
Do you remember those monkeys...
See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil.

Our Busy Week
