Easter Sunday

While we were asleep Saturday night the Bunny made his stop with a basket full of goodies for Kaidence!

Her face was glowing with deight when she first saw her basket!

She investigated each thing very carefully, just to make sure Bunny didn't let her down.

We went to our normal church for 8:30 service, and then we headed into Mobile to another church's 10:30 service that Josh was playing at.

After service they had an Easter egg hunt, and Kaidence got to find a few eggs.

While we were standing around talking, Kaidence and her little buddy Hunter found some opened jelly beans and helped themselves to them.
They were both covered in orange/yellow/pink!
 I was freaking out too much to take a picture-ha!

We left church and headed to the Clement's house for Easter lunch and another egg hunt.

(Luckily, this momma planned ahead and had another outfit, too!)

Kaidence woke up super early, ate way too much candy, and didn't nap.

And, by the end of the day this was how she was feeling.

(her parents were too-ha!)

Easter Weekend 2011

Thursday:

{these two are T-R-O-U-B-L-E!}
Josh's band had a show on the beach in Gulf Shores.

It was at sunset, and so pretty outside!

 

Friday:

Daddy & KK had a daddy/daughter swimming date while I made cake pops in peace.

We had a Crawfish Boil/Play Date at our house that night.

All together there was 13 adults and 9 kids. All the kids came in their cute clothes, but within 5 minutes had some form of food/candy on their clothes or face-OOPS!

The kids had a blast hunting eggs, and playing with Benny the Bunny!

Saturday:
Josh went fishing with Jeremy, so Amy & I took the girls to the Egg Drop at the USS Alabama.

I think everybody in our county had the same idea-ha!

They dropped 100,000 eggs from helicopters, which was really neat.

While everybody raced to get an egg me and Kaidence just sat back and watched everyone.

After the Egg Drop, we went to Bass Pro to see the bunny.
Gracie took a picture with him, but Kaidence was a mess from all the candy so she didn't do one this year.

(And, because I wasn't sure how she would act around him since she didn't like Santa this year)


We came home so K could get a nap and come down off her sugar high.
Then,we went got dressed to go with Josh to band practice, went out to eat, and then came home for an early bedtime to get ready for our big Easter Sunday!

 

...Sunday coming tomorrow!

Happy Easter

We hope you all have a very Happy Easter!

And, while it's fun to do egg hunts, jelly beans, Easter bunnies, peeps, and all the bright cheery things..

Take time today to remember the real reason we celebrate this day.

That today is Sunday!
That even though He was dead in that tomb, He rose on this day!

"He is not here; He has risen!" Luke 24:6



19 Months Old

Kaidence, today you are 19 months old!
{And, your Mommy is actually writing your post on your actual Monthday!}

You are growing so much.
It seems like you learn something new every day!

You learn to try to repeat what we say, and you do a pretty good job at it.

You even repeat what you see us do.

Just today, I was blow drying your hair and you grabbed Daddy's contact case and started poking your eye.

I'm truly amazed at how fast you learn new things.

You got your first pet.

Benny the Bunny!
You love him, Daddy loves him, Mommy is praying hard that she will feel the same soon-ha!

You also took your first over-night vacation.

We went to Destin with Grammie & Paw-Paw, and you loved the water!

I'm so thankful we live on the Coast, so that you can be a little beach girl! :)

You love to say your prayers!
You cover your little eyes, and then let out a big "AMEN!"

You "blow out" your light when we sing "This Little Light of Mine"

You love to worship and dance to music. It's precious!

{You got Italian Ice for doing so good during your pictures. Bribery is our new BFF!}

Happy 19th Monthday, Sweet Girl!

Wordless Wednesday

Then.

and

Now.
