Easter Sunday

We had such a great time on Easter Sunday! The Easter Bunny was very generous to you and brought you a kite, some gardening tools, a memory game, sidewalk chalk, and some candy. You were definitely the most excited by the candy and consumed way more than we would have preferred, but it was a special occasion!

After opening your Easter gifts, we went to the neighbors' house (LaFaves) for an egg hunt. You absolutely love Lily, so followed her around to find eggs. She was so sweet to you and gave you many of her eggs.


Because it was a beautiful morning, we decided that we would spend the day at the beach. We went with the LaFaves and you have lots of fun with Lily and Louis. All in all, it was a great day!

Spelling "Stella"

Whenever your dad is working on the computer, you are always so eager to help him. Sometimes, you will scootch onto his lap and insist that you are "working," too. This particular night, Daddy let you do some work, but first you had to put your name on your paper. After spelling "Stella," you also spelled mommy, daddy, Mona, and Sullivan. I have a feeling that when you are in school, "putting pen to paper" will be an act of the past....

Easter Egg Hunt!

Today we celebrated the beautiful weather and the coming of spring with our great friends! You participated in a FUN Easter Egg Hunt with your little buddies, and then we enjoyed some play time and lunch.

Here you are determined to break free into the backyard to gather your eggs!
Daddy caught you!

And you're off!!


You found one!

So did Everlee!!

Eating lunch with your friends!

This video is really funny because your friend Everlee was so generous in sharing her eggs with you. Then, if you look closely, you can see that you eagerly tried to retrieve another egg, only you completely missed your basket! Haha!

Happy Birthday, Dear Kohen! And Many More!

How fast a year goes! We can hardly believe sweet Kohen is ONE!? To celebrate, we traveled to Ohio for the weekend. It was a quick trip, but well worth it to see this little cowboy celebrate in style! You always have so much fun with your cousins, and it is always good to see everyone and catch up.

The cowboy himself - in his cowboy jammies!


Uncle Gator and the birthday boy!


Grandma Tessie with big brother Keagan who was
not at ALL thrilled about having to wear this shirt.


You in your cowgirl gear. You had a blast!

Kohen thought it was pretty funny when everyone was singing!


And the cake was yummy, too!


You & Lucy play well together.


Hmm...what is she eating? Trail mix, of course!


Keagan is gaming!

Fun with Daddy

You and Daddy always have so much fun together. He is always willing to play silly games with you, and you think he is absolutely hysterical. Here is a video of you playing "The Mirror Game" with Daddy:

Best Friends

Recently, you have been seriously attached to your stuffed elephant, whom you lovingly refer to as "Ellie." You have another stuffed friend named "Stripes," but don't show him nearly as much love as you show Ellie. In fact, you often punish Stripes with time-outs when you and Ellie are playing together. I asked you last night if Ellie was your best friend, and you said, "Yes!" without hesitation. Later that night when I went in your room to check on you, you were holding Ellie's hand as you slept. It was seriously so sweet.

MARDI GRAS FUN!

Happy Fat Tuesday!! We had so much fun celebrating the holiday with our friends Everlee & Nicole at Chic-fil-A. I was pleasantly surprised at how fun and well-organized the "event" was! You were able to eat a good dinner, enjoy a free sundae, participate in a treasure hunt, decorate a mask, and get your face painted! I was completely shocked that you sat there long enough for the nice woman to paint your face. It only took her a few minutes, and I just couldn't get over how cute you looked! When we got home, you ran into the house to show your dad and yelled, "Look at my face!" You were so proud of it. When bath time came you were sad to see the paint go down the drain, but we'll surely get your face painted again soon!
