Easter Day

Happy Easter! When we got home from mass this morning, the Easter Bunny had left a basket and a pail full of goodies for Conner. He also hid the eggs we decorated by the gifts. The Easter Bunny is awesome. Conner got a Puppy Easter basket, a pail, a concrete mixer truck, a duck puppet, a shovel, rake, and sifter for playing in the dirt, a toy boat, and farm animals. Wow. What fun. Thanks Easter Bunny. Next year you can hide the eggs a little tougher. Conner will be walking and ready for the challenge.

Easter with The Elfreichs

Saturday night, we went to Stanton and Shirley's house to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful dinner of ham and all the sides including Easter eggs. For dessert, we had Easter cake. The boys spent the whole evening playing together and sharing toys. Conner and Brady were very good. They played outside too, riding the John Deere tractor and Conner brought his car. They had a lot of fun together. They even exchanged some kisses. The boys were spoiled with Easter baskets full of goodies. They got a basket that turns into a hat, books, bubbles, and toys. They are spoiled. We had a great evening. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa. Conner, you have to ride in your car seat to get to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

That boy loves his Car.

The basket turns into a hat.

The closest thing I can get to a picture with them both wearing their hats.

The car goes everywhere we go.

More Easter goodies.

Easter at the Payne's

Friday night, we went to my Parent's house to celebrate Easter and mine and Tim's birthdays. We had a wonderful meal of Tilapia, catfish, shrimp, and salmon patties and all the fixins. We had an Easter Egg hunt and all the kids got spoiled rotten with Easter goodies. Conner got a Seek and Find Elmo book from Steph, Tim, Sophie, and Abby. He got a stuffed lamb from Andrea and Byron. He got a great big basket full of goodies from G-momma and G-daddy including body paints, clothes, books, toys, and lots of eggs filled with $1 gold coins and $2 bills. He cleaned house. You would have thought it was Christmas all over again. Thanks Everyone.This is what he came home with.

These are chocolate Suckers in the shapes of bulldozers, dump trucks, and tractors made out of Ghiradelli chocolate. Mom got them at the gift shop in Rockport owned by her friend Darlene. It is located by Holiday Foods, Dollar General, Budget Video, and the Chinese Restaurant. If you are in Rockport, stop by her shop. She has the most unique gifts. It is a really cool place to find something special for that someone special.

I am sure Steve will help Conner eat these since Conner doesn't get chocolate yet.

Oh my my !!!!!!!

Grandma is a sucker for his new car!

The Easter Bunny hid all of Conner's eggs in one spot. All in crawling distance. Thanks Easter Bunny!

Thank goodness they were plastic.

Sophie made the seating chart out for this table.

Grandadddy changing a Diaper

This event deserves its very own POST. Last night, we went to my Parents to celebrate Easter. In the midst of all the commotion, I asked my dad if he would go change Conner's diaper. He said "Sure." This surprised me because I have never seen him change a diaper. I didn't think he would be up for the CHALLENGE. Well, I dropped everything to go watch. Sophie came to help. The boys HATES to have his diaper and clothes changed.

Conner got loose and got a hold of his Biter Biscuits. He thinks this is taking tooooo Loooong. He needs a snack to help pass the time.

Steve jumps in to help. He knows how challenging this can be.

10 minutes later. Conner has a new diaper. We didn't have the heart to ask them to put his shorts back on. Thanks Granddaddy for being such a Good Sport.

Conner's New Car

Conner bought himself a new car this week. He wasn't sure what to buy. He had heard bad things about Toyota's. So, he settled on the Fisher Price convertible model. It was actually a hand me down from some of our neighbors. The boy loves his new ride. We have already bought a new battery and will probably have to replace the tires by summer end. He has already put some miles on that car. He cruises the sidewalk waving at everyone or everything. He keeps one hand on the wheel and one hand is constantly waving.

'What do you mean I have to buy my own gas and Insurance? I'm not even 1 yet Dad."

Dying Easter Eggs

On Thursday, Conner and I dyed and decorated our Easter Eggs. He was such a big help. Can I Eat this????????
Silly. Eggs don't wear HATS!!!!
