We've had a "hopping" good time in April!
I can't tell you how much Owen enjoys doing art projects. He enjoyed making an egg and a few bunnies this month.
Mommy's favorite!
I took Owen to the mall a week before the Easter Bunny got there. They had everything set up and the excitement was almost more than he could handle. He could not wait! When we visited the Easter Bunny, Owen told him he wanted a ukelele.
Owen got to ride the new carousel at the mall. He looked so sweet in his little bunny ears.
Owen loves going to his Little Tots/Big Tots playgroup hosted by MOMS Club. We had a silly April Fool's play date where we all wore silly mismatched clothes and ate WORMS!
One rainy day Owen and I both had a sweet tooth, and needed something to do. I remembered a project I did in 7th grade, and knew it would be the perfect cure. Ice cream in a bag! Owen enjoyed shaking the bag, and eating it too!
This handsome boy...
LOVES the zoo!
We had so much visiting the Gulf Breeze zoo one last time. :)
I am so glad Toni snapped this picture. I truly cherish every moment I get to spend with my two boys. Sometimes it is hectic, but I sure am blessed! They are the greatest!
Owen wasn't so sure about feeding the budgies this time...
Sweet friends! These little ones are so precious!
Feeding the animals
Could they be any sweeter?
Jake saved the day with some socks for Owen. He didn't like the sand getting in his feet. Owen has developed his own sense of style recently. He loves wearing "daddy clothes".
Our apartment threw an Easter party. Uncle Wayne and Papaw joined us, which made it even more fun! Owen was jumping up and down he was so happy. He could not wait to hunt for eggs. He spoke to every person in the club house. Owen sang and danced with joy. Life through his eyes is so much sweeter.
Pure happiness!
Making a craft...
Ready, Set, Go!
"Look at all of my eggs, Uncle Wayne!"
I let Owen pick out his own egg dying kit. He picked Ninja Turtles. My little boy is growing up!!!! Daddy and Owen colored the eggs together.
"I love this egg, Mommy!"
We spent Easter in Enterprise.
Pappy felt comfortable holding Abe for the first time. How sweet is this?
Owen enjoyed making crosses and learning about Jesus with Mimi's daycare kids on Good Friday.
What do you do when your cookie cutter is too big to make a bunny sandwich? Have a "Bunny Ear" sandwich!
Owen joined his friends at Mimi's for an Easter party. Mom did such a good job!
Due to rain, we had to hunt eggs inside. Surprisingly, I don't think the kiddos minded one bit!
Have you ever tried to take a picture of seven kids? All four and under? Here was the best we could do! ;)
I loved how sweet Owen was holding Abe, and how Abe was sleeping...
Owen had his first ever "sleepover" while we were in Enterprise. He asked to spend the night with Nana, Papa, and Skyler. He did well! I kept waiting for a phone call in the night, but I never got one.
The next day we went to First Baptist's Easter Egg Hunt. I think this picture might prove that Owen and Papa played all night. ;)
The Easter Egg Hunt had to be inside due to the rain. They had bounce houses set up in the fellowship hall. Owen said "the kids were too crazy"...he didn't want to play. I think Abe felt the same way. Look at those eyes...
Owen found a basketful of eggs!
Treats for the road! Owen loved his goldfish! He wanted to know why the peeps had "sand" on them.
After the Easter Egg Hunt we headed over to Uncle Matthew and Aunt Julie's for a cookout with the fam.
The kids enjoyed an "outside" egg hunt.
Owen loved being a "big guy" and playing baseball.
Owen was so tired from all of the festivities he passed out on the living room floor with his Easter eggs.
We were so happy to see Daddy on Saturday night! He had been working on our house in Birmingham and we missed him dearly. He came bearing gifts from Grammy and Papaw.
After greeting Daddy we laid out the boys baskets for the Easter Bunny, and Owen left the Easter Bunny a carrot. (which he nibbled on himself)
I ordered Abe a "large" basket. I didn't realize it would be so "large".
Abe and Owen woke up on Sunday morning to find....THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!!!
We attempted to get a family picture before church, but we didn't have much success!
Happy Easter from our family to yours! We hope you had a blessed one!
I will close with this funny little video of my Owen dancing...
We are "hopping" to Mississippi this weekend for the big move. Please pray for our family as we make this transition!
