Easter 2011

Our Easter weekend started off with Caroline having a stomach bug...not fun. She came home on Friday not feeling well and then sometime in the middle of the night she woke up throwing up. She pretty much felt awlful all day Saturday and slept all day.


But by Sunday, our little one was feeling much better so we all got dressed and made it to church. Afterwards, we went to my parents house and ate way too much food! After dinner, Caroline went egg hunting with Kendall and Maddox. They had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I didn't get one decent picture of Caroline in her Easter dress. This age is so hard to get cute pictures. Oh well! She was really cute in her dress...you'll just have to take my word for it!!

The Easter bunny came!! (the white bunny basket is one that her teacher made her at school for their Easter Egg Hunt...it's so cute!)

Here's Caroline checking out her goodies!



At grandma and grand-daddy's house! Luckily their flowers were looking beautiful on Sunday.

The best family picture we could get.

We had an amazing service and message at church and a great afternoon with family! Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins!

Catching up!

Here's what we've been doing recently...

Hanging out at grandma's and granddaddy's house after church...





Here's Caroline mocking Kendall and doing everything she does! It was funny b/c we were all watching a movie and trying to get the kids to settle down (praying they would fall asleep while watching the movie!) and I hear giggles and look over to see these two doing this. I had to take a picture! Very flexible little girls!



Today, I took Caroline to see the Easter Bunny at the Avenue near our house. Needless to say...this was as close as she would let me get to the bunny. She screamed before we even got near the bunny...which is pretty much the reaction I had predicted! At least the bunny looked cute in the background!!


It was a such a pretty day so I took advantage of the Avenue's pretty flowers and took some pictures of miss priss!






Caroline is getting her 2 year molars right now..hence the hands in the mouth in the last picture! I keep saying that I'm suprised she still has fingers b/c she's always chewing on them!

That about sums up what we've been doing! We are really excited about Easter next weekend! Caroline has a sweet dress to wear that I got on a clearance rack after Easter last year! I love deals!

Pig Tails

Last night Blake's parents came over and we grilled out for the first time this year! I love this time of the year when it gets warm enough to grill out. Nothing like having home grilled food!



When I got home from work I thought it might be cute to see if Caroline's hair is long enough to go in pig tails. Low and behold it was the cutest thing I had ever seen!! She looked so much more like a big girl but it made my heart melt!!! I tried so hard to get a decent picture of them but this was all I got. The pics really don't do it justice enough on how cute her "piggy tails" were!




After dinner, Caroline thought that Grandaddy Chris needed to see the doctor so she got her doctor kit and checked him out. It was so funny. She took his temp and checked his heart to make sure it was still beating! He got a good report from Dr. Caroline...he's in healthy shape!!










I don't know about you but we are looking forward to the somewhat nicer weather this weekend. This week of rain and cold has had us cooped up inside so we are ready to get out and enjoy some beauitful weather! I somewhat re-did Caroline's room tonight and made it look more of a "toddler" room than a baby's room. She still is sleeping in her crib but we plan to convert it to the toddler bed soon. I finally took the bumper's out tonight. I know, she's 2 and I still had the bumpers in her bed!...The kid loved them so why mess up a good thing! I loved the way her big girl room turned out. The things we had in her "nursery" were things that could easily convert to a toddler room (which is why I bought them!) so I really didn't have to do much. But just by changing a few things, it made a big difference. I need to get a rug tomorrow and then I'll take some pics and post on here. I can't believe how big my little one is getting! It's a fun stage but sad at the same time!

Papa's Birthday!

My papa turned 82 this past Sunday! We were thrilled to be able to visit with him on his birthday! Papa has been sick lately and has been doing radiation treatments and didn't feel great but we suprised him with a cake, balloons, and a grill! Of course, Caroline had to help daddy put the grill together!







We hope you had a great birthday, Papa! We love you!

St. Patrick's Day!

I know I'm a day late but here's some cute pictures of my little one on St. Patty's Day! I had to literally bribe her with candy to get her to stand still long enough to take the pictures. You'll see towards the end that she finally got her reward!!! She'll do anything for a piece of chocolate!




Yummy...chocolate!

Determined look..she likes to eat it slowly and savor every bite!

One happy girl!

We went out to eat dinner with my in-law's and then Blake and I went to small group! We had a great St. Patty's day and hope you all did too! I'm SO thankful the weekend is here. It's been a long week and I'm ready to soak up this awesome weather!
