Hoppy Easter!

Whoa! It's been a while, so we've got lots to update. I may have to split this up into a couple of posts!

First off, let's talk about trying okra! Since okra is in abundance in Emme's garden, we have to get you started early on with a love of okra. You had tried some earlier, and you ate the whole thing! So when Emme was in town for a visit, we thought we'd try it again. Well, it didn't go quite as well as the first time. You took a few bites but didn't finish it. I'm sure once you get old enough, and try fried okra, then all bets are off!!!

We had quite a few Easter activities over the Easter weekend. We started off in the middle of the week by going to Abby & Kate's and dying Easter eggs with everyone. Well, you didn't exactly dye Easter eggs. You and Kate hung out on the floor while the big kids dyed eggs. But I think you had just as much fun doing that! It may have been because Kate kept grabbing your booty! She's starting early, isn't she!? We're going to have to watch out for that one!!

Our next activity was an Easter egg hunt at school! Your Easter egg hunt was much easier than your brother's! They basically poured the eggs out on the floor, and the babies got to play with them! But it was a great excuse for Mommy and Daddy to leave work and come play with you for a little bit! We also had to get a picture of your teacher Miss Abby! She's so sweet, and she adores you. She always says how rotten (spoiled) you are, but I think she's made you that way!

For Easter weekend, we went to Ripley. On Saturday we went to safari zoo close to Ripley which has all kinds of animals! You had fun watching everyone else play with the animals, but Mommy was not about to let you near those dirty animals!!!

Later that day, you and Ryan played in Granddaddy and KK's camper! It was the perfect size for you boys to play in. They keep threatening to take it camping, but nothing has happened yet. That will be quite an adventure, if it ever happens!!!!


Then on Sunday, the Easter bunny left you and Ryan fun little Easter presents in our Easter baskets! Then we dressed you and Ryan in your Easter outfits and went to church. Afterwards, we had a big, yummy lunch at Granddaddy and KK's. It was a very good weekend!



I'll save the details from your first beach trip for the next blog! Kiss Kiss from Mommy!
