Egg Huntin' and lots of SMILES

Please prepare yourself for picture OVERLOAD.  I finally dusted the cobwebs off my camera and took some pictures this weekend.  Ohhhh...what a fun filled Easter weekend we had.  The girls and I spend the better part of last week visiting my family in Arkansas while Trey was away for work.  We came home Wednesday so we could make sure we attended their daycare Easter Egg Hunt & Party.  They did not want to miss this.  Hayden has been super clingy, cranky and totally out of sorts lately and on Wednesday night she started running a low fever that continued until Saturday morning.  She had no other signs of being sick, so I chalked it up to teething.  She has been totally miserable with her teeth, her gums are all swollen, she only has 2 teeth on the bottom so it appears she is getting the rest of them all at once. NO FUN!  With her lacking her typical easy going demeanor it made for a very long week.  Finally Friday rolled around and Daddy was home, we spend Good Friday recovering and catching up on household chores.  Saturday we took a trip to see the Easter Bunny, it went pretty much as expected too scared to sit on the lap, and I was too cheap to pay $25 for a terrible picture of them screaming.  Today we attended church at Lover's Lane then came home for a little egg hunt and then dinner with Mimi & Granddad tonight.  I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family and healthy children. My girls were all smiles at church today so enjoy the pictures...it doesn't happen often these days.  I promise more blogging to come...I actually miss it.    

It was super windy at the egg hunt as you can see in these pictures. 

She wasn't going to let anyone take her bucket or Sissy's

This is why we always wear a bow...we are a HOT MESS without it.

Playing a little game called HOT bunny!

Hayden's first egg hunt.

Landry's Best Friend

Landry was very eager to find out what was inside all the eggs.

Bunny hop race 

We squeezed in time for a little egg dying while Sissy was napping. 

The girls were so excited to see Mimi at church,
I'm not sure what Trey gave them for breakfast but they were all smiles

I know my roots are sooo dark, my appointment is this week.

In this picture you can see WHY poor Hayden has been a complete mess for the last week,
I think she has a mouth full of teeth getting ready to break through her gums.  Poor Baby!

 

Where did my little girl go???

Here are some other pictures I took with my iphone this weekend, if you follow me on IG you have already seen most of these.  Enjoy!

Our visit to the Easter Bunny...girls were scared and we were too cheap to take the lap picture.

My sweet bunny

I mentioned before we had a bluebonnet pictures taken on Easter weekend, I LOVE this picture you captured of my sweet baby.  I ordered these bunny hats to take pictures of the 3 babies (Hayden, Avery & Victoria) all together but unfortunately when I was in Arkansas. There was sickness going around so we were unable to get all the girls together.  Maybe they will all meet this summer...hopefully.  At the last minute I remembered I had this giant basket in the attic that I purchased at goodwill last year and spray painted to set out for the Easter bunny.  I worded perfectly for Miss H.  Enjoy the picture there are more to come.

Easter 2012

What a weekend!  We had a jam packed Easter weekend complete with 2 Egg hunts, a trip to the doctor, a family photo session in the bluebonnets (pictures to come later), a visit from the bunny, Easter lunch and of course the Masters.  I am tired just thinking about it.  It all started Thursday with Landry and Hayden's Easter party at the park near Mrs. Kelly's house.  Landry looked cute but we ended up cutting the party short due to a poor attitude.  We should have known then she wasn't feeling good and and good old fashion cold was on the horizon.  We had family photos taken on Saturday morning bright and early, by late afternoon Saturday we were at the doctors office with both girls. I feared strep throat when Landry started complaining of a sore throat so we figured better safe than sorry. The strep test was negative but once again the swabbing action cause Landry to lose her lunch.  Poor girl!  We had a great weekend even though both girls we a little under the weather.  I am just glad we are on the mend because we have a date with Shamu later this week.  Enjoy the pictures, there are lots of them.

Then the bunny came....

(Wendi...the Easter Bunny gave her the backpack...thanks she loves it)

This Momma decided to get a little crafty. I made an impulse purchase while pregnant with Hayden, a Silhouette machine, I had big plans for this thing and to date this is the only think I have made.  But they turned out cute don't ya think? Even my super crafty friend Katie had me cut some bunnies for her :).  Below is our newest Easter decoration, it was a gift from my Grandmother to the girls.  She has had this in her home for years and they recently moved her into an assisted living facility so she told Jojo to bring it to us.  We have put it to good use.  Landry LOVES it and I am sure Hayden will too!  Landry told us the Easter Bunny saw it when he/she came to deliver her gifts and he/she loved it.  We are a little confused on the gender of the bunny because the one we saw at the Mall this weekend appeared to be a female.  Who knows anymore?!?

My Easter gift from the girls...I LOVE it!  This was a project they did at school.  Thanks Kelly!

This is how our Easter morning started out, the Cinderella Bride and the one eared Bunny.  Landry hijacked my photo shoot with Hayden and insisted on wearing the flower headband, leaving Hayden with the broken bunny one. I told H, "get used to it, it's only the beginning!"  Saturday night both girls were running a fever of 102, we made a quick trip to Acute kids only for the to tell use that neither girl had infection just a bad cold virus that needed to run its course. We couldn't go to church which totally bummed me out. I had matching dresses for them and Landry was very excited to go to the 3 year old Sunday school class. Landry is a girl after her Mimi's heart, she LOVES all things Jesus!  I wish more than anything I was running tape on the 15 minute Bible reading she gave us Sunday night.  I never knew that Jesus had bloody hands because crocodiles bit them...only in the mind of a 3 year old.
We still managed to have our egg hunt Sunday morning before the rain came.

Trey told her she needed some competition because she opened each egg as she found it...she was only interested in the ones with candy...not coins.  Someday that will change.

1 bucket full...on to Hayden's bucket.

Posing with the loot

And finally we put the Easter dresses on for lunch with Mimi & Grandad. It was raining outside so I tried to get a picture of both girls in the house...like I said...I TRIED!!!  We will be wearing these dresses again next year.

Can you tell someone is teething....
