Hunter's Easter Concert

Hunter and his friends were looking for us in the audience. The picture below shows him finding us. It was really cute.

Hunter's class did a remix of "Baa Baa Black Sheep". The kids had guitars to play along with the hard rock music. Below are some pics of the kids rocking it out.

At the end of the song, the kids all threw their guitars down on the floor.

One of the greatest memories I have of growing up is putting on concerts/programs at church. We love our church, Summit, but things are little more contemporary. Eagle's Nest, Hunter and Mackenzie's school puts on a concert/program at Christmas and Easter. It is so much fun to sit back and be a proud parent of a child during these events. I knew, from his teachers, that there would be more screaming than singing. I have been telling Hunter that he needed to use his "singing" voice and not his "screaming" voice. He did really well. Mackenzie loved watching the kids perform.

I Present You With This Crown

Hunter and I model our crowns. Yes, he put a bug sticker on the front of mine. What a cute little "Reminder"!?!?!?!

Mackenzie and Hunter sporting their crowns.

She liked being the princess of the bunch.

Today, while I was feeding Mackenzie her lunch, Hunter was busy working on a "project" (his words. He was using some of my recycled paper to make everyone in our family a crown. He is really good at using scissors. He wasn't using regular scissors either. He was using scrapbook scissors, which can be hard to cut with. He created each one of us with a crown, and surprisingly enough they all fit. It was so cute, he came to me with his crown and said, "Mom, look at my crown." I looked up from feeding Mackenzie to see his crown sitting on his head with the big words "Reminder" on the front. He is a good little reminder. I was really shocked at #1 the fact he had cut in such a straight line; #2 he had the word "Reminder" right in the front. Now I think I'm going to have to wear that crown around all of the time because I am needing to be reminded to do a lot of things these days.

Friday Night Beach Outing

Surf's up!

I had forgotten to bring any toys for her to play with. She loved the sound of the Sun Chip bag so I let her play with that for a little bit. Hanging out with Mom.

Building a road for the truck.

Mackenzie checking out the water.

Love these pics!

Family pics at the beach.

Last night we decided to take the family to the beach. We made a few stops prior to getting to the beach, one of those was to pick up dinner. I love being at the beach. Just sitting on the towel watching Hunter and Adam play is one of the best feelings in the world. Mackenzie enjoyed grabbing the sand and trying to put it in her mouth. Next trip we are going to be taking a large blanket/quilt and place her in the middle. Luckily I don't think any of the sand got in her mouth, but it was close. The sunset was perfect ending to our wonderful evening.

Just a Swingin'

Hunter swinging CC, but not to high. Can you find CC in the picture? Here he is watching over us as we swing.

Mackenzie loves swinging. I think she is going to be a little dare devil. She likes going pretty high.

Santa sure does know how to pick out a great gift. The swing set is getting a lot of attention

at our house. Mackenzie and Hunter both enjoy it daily. I have to say that even CC loves spending time in the clubhouse. We have truly enjoyed being back in Florida. I ride home everyday with the windows down and the music up. LOVE IT!!!

Morning Goodbyes

CC, Hunter's Lego tower, and his airplane watch him go to school.

Every morning, Hunter has his routine in saying good-bye to me. He gives me a "big hug and kiss, knuckles, and then the loudest high-five ever". Now he has added chocolate chip to the mix. He places CC in the front window. After they go out the front door, I look through the front window holding CC and give Hunter a hug and kiss for the road.

Baby D's Shower

I had a lot of fun putting this banner together. Just a little bit of scrapbook paper and ribbon is all it took. We have been looking forward to celebrating with Jayme.

Jayme, one of my closest friends, is having a baby boy in May. I have been looking forward to celebrating her pregnancy for a long time. She and Kevin has spoiled Hunter for years. It is our turn to spoil her baby. The shower was a hit. We were having so much fun that we ended up going out to dinner after. It was a great evening full of laughs.

Mackenzie's 1st Finger Food

Mackenzie checking it out before she tries it out. I gave Mackenzie her first finger food this past week, Puffs. They are dissolvable and easy for her to gum. She really enjoys them. It was cute to see her expressions as she put it in her mouth and felt the texture for the first time. My little baby is growing up.
