Hayden's First Easter Egg Hunt...In Our New Backyard!!

It was a bit chilly on Easter Saturday, but we bundled up and went on an egg hunt! Hayden had so much fun finding all 16 eggs that Papa hid for him...in fact, he's still walking around with the basket today! Happy 2nd Easter to our favorite little bunny!!!

Thanks Haley, Nathan and Chloe!!!

A beautiful addition to our new home...complete with our name! Very thoughtful...you guys are the best!!

Coloring Easter Eggs...not to mention hands!!!

On Saturday we celebrated Hayden's 2nd Easter with Nana, Papa and Uncle Brandyn in our new home in Liberty, MO. We started the day by coloring eggs, which Hayden LOVED!! Normally he's pretty hesitant about getting his hands dirty, but he dove right in, and his VERY stained hands didn't slow him down a bit! Mommy and Daddy were a little jumpy since our house is only a week old...but we managed to contain the mess and we all had lots of fun watching our little artist!

Flowers AND Cookies...We Sure Are Loved!!

We had 2 Easter surprise deliveries this weekend...some beautiful tulips from the Kilburgs and some adorable (and not to mention YUMMY) cookies from the Woodrichs!! Thanks guys...very thoughtful, and very much appreciated! 2 perfect bouquets!

A Visit from Our 2 Best Friends!!

Jeannie and Michael came up to visit us in our new house this week, and we had so much fun spending time with them...it was just like old times! We had two great days with them...but it went WAY TOO FAST...and we can't wait until we can do it again!

Wow Mommy...The Kennedy Mall Really DOES Have It ALL!!!

After a fun couple of hours shopping with Mommy...not to mention eating an entire piece of Sabarros pizza...I got to go on these really cool ride cuz I was a good boy! Mommy put some money in the firetruck, but I decided that I liked them better when they weren't moving!

Lunch Out with the Boys!

A Day at the Aquarium!

Talking to my friends...the "brogs...bibbit"

Aren't they cute?!?!?

Nana and Mama-my 2 favorite girls!
Uncle Brandyn and Me...I was being a pistol!


While Mommy and I were staying at Nana and Papa's house recovering from our sickness, Daddy got to come up from Kansas City and spend a day with us! We had so much fun just hanging out with Nana, Papa and Uncle Brandyn...but Mommy and I were sick of being stuck inside, so we all took a fieldtrip and headed to the aquarium for some fun! There was lots of really cool stuff to see...big "bish", "brogs...bibbit" otters, and even some alligators! My favorites were the "brogs...bibbit" of course! I had to make sure to go back to their houses and say "bye-bye" before we left. I'm sure they were really sad to see me go!

Eatin' Ice Cream with Uncle Brandyn...in bed!!!

Mommy & Son Lunch Date!!

Last Playdate with the Indy Girls...

Our last few weeks living in Independence were chaotic and busy to say the least...but luckily we managed to fit in one last playdate with ALL the girls. We met at Jeannie's house and let the kiddos play while we visited. Jeannie made a delicious lunch, and Brooke brought some yummy cheese and fruit...along with a bottle of champaign to toast our friendship. The girls had also been sneaky and had gotten together and made an AWESOME scrapbook for us...it was a perfect ending to my time in Kansas.

*sidenote* Jeannie, Brooke, Mindy and Jamie: Thanks to all of you for being such a wonderful group of friends! You guys all became family to us, and we're going to miss you more than you know!! We can't wait until your visits up here...and ours back down there!! Make sure to give all of your sweet babies hugs and kisses from us! Hope to talk to you all soon...
