Happy Easter

I have a ton of pictures to post for Easter, it was such a fun week! The holidays keep getting better as Landyn gets older. He went on FOUR egg hunts this year... beating his record from last year. His first egg hunt was with his playgroup at a park.


He loves his little gal pals.

He can sometimes get a little too huggy.


But then it was time to play with the boys. He's not as innocent as he looks, notice the big stick he's holding! He found the biggest stick on the ground to play swords with. Such a typical boy! I mean, how do they learn these things?




They were also running around chasing each other. Then he fell in the mud ! His pants and shoes were covered in mud. Luckily, a friend had an extra pair of shorts for him to change into. I also had to take off his shoes bc they were filled with mud. Thanks goodness for Stride Rite washable shoes! They look as good as new.



His second egg hunt was with the Molnar's. They came over for a Pre-Easter Celebration. It was such a fun time!




We let the kids paint and hunt Easter Eggs. I did have a little scare before dying the eggs though. Landyn thought the dye tablets were candy and put one in his mouth! I was standing next to him and immediately pulled it out, but it totally freaked me out. I washed his mouth out like fifty times. He kept apologizing to me in such a sweet tone I couldn't help but to hug and kiss him.




This photo is from an "attempt" Egg Hunt in Coppell. People weren't lying when they said, arrive early! We literally live five minutes from the park. We left 20 min. before it started and the traffic was crazy!! We were walking up to the park as the hunt was taking place. So we missed it but they did end up handing out more eggs later. They also had the firetruck out there for the kids to climb in. And a big open field to run around on. It wore him out before nap so I was happy.



Easter Sunday.... Not only did Gran Gran give Landyn the cutest Easter basket FILLED with toys, she also made him his very OWN bunny cake. Is he spoiled or what? No wonder he loves going to their house. I guess it goes without saying, he was very excited! Look at that smile. The cake minus one piece has been sitting in our kitchen until today. I took the rest of it to his school to let the kiddos finish it off. Go, Gran Gran!



He also received more Easter goodies from Aunt Stef and Lexy. They gave him a ton of bubbles and bubble guns. Lexy took him outside later to try them out. When they came back inside he was covered in bubble solution and was eager to share a new word he learned. He was cracking up laughing and said, "Mommy, Lexy blew the bubbles and it looks like a BOOTY, hehe, a BOOTY, MOMMY!" Then Lexy, very nonchalantly said, " Oh yeah, I taught him a new word." LOL, what do ya do? At home we prefer the word bottom. :)




Here is PaPa and Landyn on their way to the Easter Egg hunt at the Country Club. Landyn insisted on riding in the golf cart. It's one of his favorite things to do with PaPa.



Gran Gran and Landyn waiting for the hunt to start. This was his last egg hunt of the day. He put about a dozen eggs in his basket then handed me the basket to hold. Poor child was worn out.



This was from his morning hunt at Church. He was eager to grab as many eggs as possible this time. After all the hard work from hunting candy filled eggs... I haven't given him any. I'm such a mean Mommy. :)


Landy was very excited to wake up to his Toy Story basket. Funny thing... the night before I told him to go to sleep so the Easter Bunny would visit him. He said, " Yes, Mommy (shaking his head up and down) he will leave my Toy Story basket. " As if he already knew??




After all the Ooooh's and Aaaah's from finding his basket, he took everything out and lined it in a circle. He then, slowly named each item ,and was finally ready to open the toys and play. I didn't realize this would be such a long process or I would have started sooner. We were almost late to Church.
What a perfect Easter! :)

Easter Photos

Here are some of my favorite poses from Landyn's Easter photo shoot. He was such a Ham! Cynthia, our photographer, met us at the Grapevine Train Depot. She brought like 6 baby chicks to take his picture with. They made Landyn a lil squirmish, so we didn't get many photos of him with them. I was still very happy with the pictures. It's such a big difference from last year! Last year, he was having NO part of getting his picture taken.






I brought the carrots as a prop but he kept eating them! I think he's going through a growth spurt bc he's been eating so much lately. Hey, I am not complaining about that!









I modified a few of the shots. I took the "texture" out of this one.



And this one.
