Easter Weekend Part 2

Easter morning, we all woke up, ate breakfast and got ready for church. Bryson could hardly wait to go find his Easter Basket! Well, actually, Bryson had no idea he even had an Easter basket, but mommy and daddy were excited!! :)

After Church, we went over to my parent's house and all had Easter lunch. Ray and Alicia came over and celebrated with us as well. :)

We dyed/stamped eggs.

Then, afterwards, went to Michael's parent's for dinner.

B got another adorable Easter basket!

He had his 4th egg hunt. Grandma and Papa found the CUTEST little animal eggs!!

Bryson got to play with chalk for the first time! He had fun coloring the ground...until he ate it...   :)

This is THE funniest picture to me!! I can't help but laugh everytime I see it!!

I told Bryson to say "cheese", and this is the face I got!! haha I've never even seen this face before! hahah!!

We are so SO blessed to have 2 amazing families. We love you!!

Easter Weekend Part 1

We had suuch a fun Easter this year. We did the normal "Easter things" with Bryson last year, but this year, he was actually able to participate and he had so much fun! I can't wait for the day that he will know and understand the real meaning of Easter. :)

We knew Bryson was going to have a lot of egg hunts this year, so the entire week prior to Easter, we practiced hunting eggs at the house. I put gummie snacks and M&Ms inside the eggs and after a couple of practice rounds, he got the egg hunting down pat!

His first egg hunt was with his school on Thursday and he was a pro already. His teachers said he knew exactly what to do and where to put the eggs. Woohoo! Practicing paid off! haha :)

Egg Hunt #2 was at our church on Saturday. It didn'tstart until 10:10 and we got there a little early, so we had to wait. Bryson didn't like that idea and tried to sneak under the gate a few times. He was ready for those eggs! haha

He was in the "under 2" age group. All the kids were ADORABLE!!!

Bryson knew that there was candy in the eggs so he decided that there was no need for those little round plasic things, he just picked up all the candy and left the egg. HAHA!

 He was SO funny running all over the place. This is mid-sprint for an egg!! It cracks me up!

I love our church. They always go ALL out for any kind of activity. They even had a petting zoo, which was a huuuge hit!

After the egg hunt, we headed down to the Dallas Zoo. They remodeled the zoo a few years ago and it is fantastic!! The weather was great and Bryson really loved seeing all the animals.

We started off in the Children's side at Petting Zoo. It was really fun for him to see all these animals in person. He knows what they look like in books, but to see them in real life is so different.

Then, we went on to the rest of the zoo...

Michael and I had so much fun watching Bryson get so excited about the animals! We can't wait to go back!!

Bluebonnets

Last Sunday, Michael was out of town, so it was just B and I. We woke up early, so I decided we were going to go take some pictures in a bluebonnet field close to our house before church.

The bluebonnets were beautiful and Bryson was just as handsome as can be. I tried and tried to get cute pictures of him sitting in the flowers, but I couldn't get the kid to sit/stand/stay still for more than 2 seconds to save my life!! No matter how many silly noises I made or how many toys I hid in the flowers for him find, all he cared about was running around like a crazy hyped up toddler. Go figure! I got a couple cute pictures, but decided that modeling is not in Mr. B's future anytime soon. :)

I thought maybe if I had another person to distract B, he would possibly stay in one place long enough for me to snap a smiley picture, so Michael met us over in the field after work. I looove how much he loves his daddy!! :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!!!

Easter

Easter is the single day that sets Christiany apart from every other religion. Jesus didn't only die a horrible and brutal death, He arose 3 days later! How can you even begin to tell Him how grateful you are? Sometimes I just feel completely undeserving of his Mercy.

If you haven't seen the Passion Of Christ, you must. I find myself crying uncontrolably and smiling from ear to ear all at the same time. It breaks my heart that He went though so much pain, horrible torture and brutal death. All because He loves us so much! At the same time, I am overjoyed because I know that I am going to spend millions of years with Him in Heaven!

"But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5

Lord, Thank you
