Easter Overload!

We have had a weekend jammed with Easter gatherings and it has been a blast. Grant started off on Thursday afternoon when Papa and DeeDee called and asked if he could come over because Cousins Tol and Yates were coming over to decorate eggs and have a hunt! So after school we headed on over and the fun began!

Papa and DeeDee were super brave to take on all 3 boys, esp when it came time to decorate the eggs! Poor DeeDee had blue hands and their house.. well.. you can only imagine what it looked like after those boys were done!



Oh.. and I did feel a tad sorry for Papa too!

They had a great time and we thank Papa and DeeDee for a good Easter Party!

Saturday, we headed over to Tol and Kelly's house for Easter and Mom's bday. Since Tol and I were kids the Easter egg hunt has been a SERIOUS competition, too bad we're not kids anymore but I think we both secretly feel the eagerness that our kids will find "The Golden Egg" each year!

Cole got to visit with his Great Grandparents too, he really enjoyed that. He also got to meet Aunt Marcia and his other cousins!



After some yummy burgers, duck (yes.. how awful is that we ate duck on Easter? If Tol would've had rabbit, I would've gone home hahahah), wild turkey, and side dishes we headed out for the big hunt! Grant was so funny, he would find an egg and then want to open it, we kept having to tell him "Hurry"! Yates would pick up an egg and shake it to see if he heard it rattle before putting it in his bucket, he would throw the other ones down. What he didnt realize is, there were dollar bills in the ones that didnt rattle! So cute.



Grandaddy and Cousin Adam supervised Cole while I took pictures.

Cousin Wesley found the golden egg!

Grant with his bucket, he had $19 and candy!

Cupcake time or "Pupcake" as Grant calls them

We had an awesome time at Tol and Kelly's celebrating Easter and Buddy's birthday! We didnt get home until almost 6:30 Saturday night and thankfully the kids were exhausted and ready for bed.


Sunday morning we got the boys up and let them see their Easter baskets before getting ready for Church.

Grant got a new talking Rex and he was tickled pink! Cole, he got some swim trunks and a few other things.. he could care less!

Buddy and Grandaddy drove over and came to church with us, here is Grant waiting at the door for them!



Me and my boys... I'm only about half ready at this point, its HARD getting ready with two kids!

Daddy and the Boys!

Unfortunately our family picture turned out TERRIBLE so I didnt post it, so disappointed. I looked awful and Grant was not cooperating. Oh well, thats life.

This last picture is so funny to me. You can see that Grandaddy is helping hold Cole and his hand is under his butt. Cole let out the biggest toot/poop and Grandaddy kept saying "He's pooping on me... HURRY HURRY". I was dying laughing.


Our first experience at church with two was eventful. Grant was good but Cole had a little accident and lets just say I had to change him, luckily I had a little UT onesie in my diaper bag, not the outfit I planned for Easter!

Anyways, our Easter afternoon was just perfect with the 4 of us! I am so thankful that God blessed me with such a great family, husband, and 2 beautiful boys!!
