EASTER MORNING!!

This has probably been my favorite Easter ever, so far. :) Nicholas was a blast going through his Easter basket and then we took him out for an Easter egg hunt in a little retention field next to our building. It was very cute, he was running for the eggs as soon as he spotted them, and then throwing them into his basket.

This is one of his favorite new toys. :)

Play Dates

Nicholas and I are so excited because we have recently gotten to know more people in our ward, and made some great friends! We went for a play date this morning with some of those friends. It made me think of that Tostitos commercial where the moms are all like "I'm so glad we decided to do this for the kids..." and "Yeah this will be really good for them" all the while they are chomping down on tostitos and salsa, and chatting it up, and then it shows you the kids who are like... 4 months old in their carseats just sitting there. Hillarious.

But, our kids do enjoy hanging out, so it's not the same but still made me think of it because we were really enjoying our "grown-up time" too, haha!

Anyway, here are the adorable pictures of the 3 kids, Nicholas, Jake and Sawyer.

More Visitors, Easter Egg Hunts, and Pool Time!!

Our apartment complex had an Easter Egg Hunt last saturday, while Tina, Kevin and Charlie were here so we all went down and let the kids find eggs :)







Afterward there were cupcakes in the clubhouse



The visitors have moved on, but should be back in a few days so we can play some more. 


I just had to snap some pictures of Tyler and Nicholas playing together on the floor. So cute. Nicholas likes to honk noses these days. He is learning all of the body parts, he knows "nose" "eyes" and "stinky feet."
"Honk! Honk!"




The weather has been so nice lately (sorry Mom) and the pool is just perfect, so we have been going down to the pool, working on lessening Tyler's farmer tan, LOL

Grandma and Grandpa's Visit





Nicholas was going down slides hands first for a while, it was easier to get on the slide that way, but then he would get stuck because he didn't lift his hands... :)


My mom and dad took us to Sea World since we were going back and forth to Orlando to help them get to where they needed to be, and it was a BLAST! Nicholas loved every minute of it. :) Tyler had school and work the first day that we went, but we convinced him to cut out early the next time and he got to come with us the second day we went.

This was at the Elmo and Abby's Treasure Hunt show.

This was a thing the kids could crawl through, and look up into the bottom of the fish tank.



Nicholas thought this was fun until one of the Mantas came and put it's nose right in his hand and after about 5 seconds he decided that that scared him. He wouldn't put his hand in the water again after that, lol.












Nicholas had gone the whole day without a nap and was really starting to show it, until we rolled him past this... and he perked right up! Talk about a second wind, he went crazy!











Thanks so much to my parents for such a fun time, we all had a blast and it was so good to see them for a quick visit. :) We miss you guys!

Welcome!
