Easter Fun

Every year Jannie has an Easter party. We've never been able to go because Beau always had retreat over Easter weekend and last year we had a 1 week old baby. So we were very excited to be able to go this year.

Getting ready to walk down to Jannie's. Sadie thought she was so big playing on Cale's train...


This is her usual face. Elijah had the same one.

At Jannie's we had lunch and then hid the eggs while we the kids took a walk with Jannie and Papa Larry.

My boy waiting to hunt...

He had sat his basket down somewhere and we couldn't find it so he used one of Jannie's...It's almost as big as him!

This is the best picture I could get. At least he was saying ''Cheese!''...

Cale showing me what he got in his egg...



Me and my honey...

I tried again. Still didn't work...

He doesn't even notice what I'm doing, all he cares about is his loot...

Isn't he cute!!...

The way home...

Easter morning they woke up to their basket. It was a little sparse. I've had a lot going on...

All dressed up...

After church we went to Janice and Frankie's for lunch. Frankie got called in to work just before we showed up, Tim and Sharon called in sick and Brad and Amy couldn't make it. So it was just us, Janice and Crystal, but we had a great time. The kids got baskets...

Sadie and Mimi...

Elijah got his own personal egg hunt, which he loved!!...

Well, Sadie hunted a few eggs in one central location...

Seriously...could I just get one picture. Once again, he is saying "Cheese!!"...

It was a great weekend. We've hit the ground running this week trying to get things ready for Sadie's big party. Yesterday I (with Cherilyn's help) painted two bathrooms, Beau hung a new light fixture and did a bunch of other little things. This morning Sadie had her check up. She got 5 shots and had labs drawn, but NO EAR INFECTION!!! Yay Sadie's ears!!! Here were her stats...

Height: 29 inches=47%

Weight: 19 lbs=20%

Weight for length=27%

Head 17.5 inches=31%

After the appt we ran errands for about 4 hours!! When we got home I made a tutu, a bandana dress, dinner, cleaned the kitchen and put the kids to bed. Now I'm relaxing with The Office.

Tomorrow we have Sadie's 1 year and family pictures and a youth group fundraiser. On top of that I have about 4 days of work around the house to do!

Happy Birthday Sadie!!

My baby girl turned one today!!! She is a precious gift from God!! This year has been so crazy, but so much fun. Sadie has lived in 3 houses by the time she was one!! We've had a very busy weekend, I won't post all our Easter stuff, but I wanted to say Happy Birthday to my girl.


Last Sunday was our baby dedication. We dedicated our lives as Sadie's parents to raise her to know who Jesus is and what he did for her and to be living examples of his love in her life. I think it looks a little more like we were dedicating Beau....

I love the look on Elijah's face. He looks so enthused...priceless!

Friday, we turned her around. We bought Elijah a booster chair and Sadie moved into his seat. She loves it...

Not real sure what's going on...

"Wow, I can see so much!!"

"Hello everyone!!"...

Meet the Greens...

This actually wasn't planned. I got the outfit for Elijah for his baby shower4 years ago!! I've known since then that it would be his Easter suit when he's 3, my mom got Sadie's dress, and I didn't know what Beau was wearing when I decided on my dress. I thought we were cute.




My angels...

Loving on his sister, as usual...

I promise she's a happy baby...she does smile...sometimes.

Really...I promise...

Sadie, what do yo think of turning one?...

I can't believe she's one. I know I'm supposed to say that. But I'm not saying it for the same reasons people normally do. Its not that the year has flown by, but that she really still seems like baby. By the time Elijah was one he had a full head of hair (and had needed multiple haircuts), had a full mouth of teeth and ate whatever he wanted, was talking a lot and was walking (and running) everywhere. Sadie's hair is getting thicker, but she still doesn't have much. She only has "gofer" teeth so there's a lot she can't eat, she has a few words (a very few) and mostly just grunts, and she can, but won't walk. So, that's why its so weird that she's one. I know all babies are different, but you would think a brother and sister would be some what alike! Oh well, I still love her with every ounce of my being!

Spring is in the Air

Well, we've had a lot going on lately. We have now been in the new house for almost a week. We spent our first night here last Saturday. We're loving it. We're finding out a lot about living in a 30 year old house, but Elijah is in LOVE. He loves his room. The first night he couldn't even sit still during dinner, he asked to be excused so he could go put his toys away in his room! Then that night we walked outside to get something and he said, "Oh Mama...look at my BIG yard!!" I will post pictures soon, just not quite ready yet. I'm trying to get ready enough to have Sadie's party here next weekend. She'll be 1 this Sunday, on Easter. We've got a lot going on this weekend so I wanted to post a few pics so I won't get too far behind.

The weather has been great this week. One afternoon we went out in the yard for a few pics.

My sweet girl...

He is a mess. And I love him!!

"Here you go, Mama."

Everything is either a teachable moment or a game between Elijah and Sadie. He is in love with her. It just melts my heart...

See what I mean...

There are no words...

Yesterday was Elijah's Easter Party at school. I had to work so Beau went to take pics.



Oh, man....Heartbreaker...

His favorite thing lately is to hide things and you search for them. Then you hid them and he finds them. So I knew Easter this year would be a blast for him!

"Why are you making me stop for a picture?"

His class...

Mom and Dad are on their way to spend the day helping me with the house. Then tonight we're going to Stephenville. Jannie has a big Easter party every year and we've never been able to go. More later.
