Easter and after.

Almost a month later...but better late than never. haha.

Our Easter was awesome. Saturday the 29th of March my Father in law took us to Ridglea Country Club for their annual Easter Egg hunt. Jaxx was so excited...until they actually said GO. There were TONS of little kids. I couldn't believe the outcome...especially in his age group. Anywho, once they said "GO", all the parents and kiddos dashed off and Jaxx was hesitant and was accidentally knocked down. At that point he was over it. So I picked him up and with him on my hip we ran around and picked up as many eggs as we could. hahaha. He thought that was fun. After the hunt they had a petting zoo, games, pony rides, Easter bunny pictures, balloon animals and a brunch. It was really fun. Jaxx immediately got a balloon animal and the guy made him a weenie dog balloon...which Jaxx used as a golf club. hahaha. This child is absolutely obsessed with any kind of sport you can imagine. Anything he can make into a ball or use to hit a ball with...he will. hahaha. I love it! So he popped that balloon hitting a ball and I went and had the guy make him a golf club balloon, which lasted just as long. hahaha.

 

 

 

Ok let me back up a little. The weekend before Easter my Mom, sister, sister-in-law, nephew, Jaxx and I went Easter clothes shopping and for the boys to see the Easter bunny. Last year Jaxx did SO good with the Easter bunny. OMG, not this year. hahaha. He was terrified. He was SO excited..again before hand and seemed excited every time we said we were going to see the Easter bunny. Until...we were next in line to get in his lap. I went over to put him in his lap...holy crap! This child freaked! hahaha. Poor guy, his mean ole' Mommy still made him take the picture not once, but TWICE. hahaha. We got the boys separately and once together...well kind of together. hahaha.

This is really hysterical to me now. At the time I felt guilty and just flat out mean. hahaha. Look at Tucker just as happy as can be (Jaxx last year) and Jaxx trying to escape. haha. Poor guy. This will be awesome to show to his future girlfriends though. :) That Sunday we ran some errands and colored some eggs. Jaxx LOVED this...he was amazed. it was AWESOME. By far the funnest age is right now. I think i have said that several times though...hahaha. Just keeps getting more and more fun! :)

The 4 pictures are all the cute, creative things Jaxx made at his babysitters for Easter! He makes some of the cutest things there. I love getting all his sweet hand and finger prints with every holiday! :)
The Saturday night before Easter we went to a adult only baby shower for some friends that live in LA, The Steers. We are so excited they are having a baby girl in June! :) The shower took place at Olen Jack's in Lincoln Square. It was so much fun to see friends and have a little adult time. :) My wonderful sister watched Jaxx for us that night. Next morning Jaxx woke up and Easter bunny had come! OMG, he was so excited. He got some really awesome stuff. A kite, egg sidewalk chalk, lots of candy, stuffed bunny and of course all the Easter eggs were little basket, base, foot and soccor balls. hahaha. He LOVED it!

Later that day we went to lunch with my family at Logan's steakhouse then went home and enjoyed a nice relaxing evening before another work week! :) Jaxx was exhausted after his BIG Easter weekend!

Next big weekend was my Dad's birthday weekend! He turned 52 and Kailey was with me that weekend so we made him a cake and went over and played for a bit that evening. Jaxx LOVES his Pappa D and gets so excited to see him! :) I wish I would have snapped pictures of them playing, but I was too busy laughing to remember to get out my camera.

Trying to get Jaxx to blow out his candles. He wasn't having it!

Daddy and I through the years! :)

Dad's birthday was on the 13th and Kailey's 18th....(cough) yes, he turned EIGHTEEN years old. For those of you that have known us for a long time....you know that this makes me feel REALLY old. Kailey was born when I was 13 years old...so she was literally like my little doll. hahaha. By the time I was 15 and 16 people thought she was mine if I had her with me anywhere. haha. There were times I felt like she was mine too. ha! Anywho, her turning 18 was really sad because she is my baby sister....and now a grown women. :( Crazy!


That same weekend Kailey and went and did a little shopping in the Highlands. Jaxx loves running around in there and just being outside period.

Ok, I have to finish this post today. I started it last week and got busy and never finished it.

The past couple weekends have been pretty chilled. Not much going on. Last weekend we went and met The Morgan's for a little PBR Rodeo in Cleburne. Anytime I get a chance to see my oldest best friend Amanda, I take it! :) Love them all so much...they are seriously family to me. She is pregnant with her 3rd baby...makes me feel a tad behind. hahaah. Not to mention several...actually SEVEN of my good friends either just had a baby or are pregnant right now. WOW! That is a lot. Tanner and I have talked about it and I am just not ready yet. As of right now...shifting all my attention on another baby right now is NOT an option. I have LOTS more soaking up to do before Jaxx becomes a big brother. :) Plus, pregnancy sounds HORRIBLE right now. hahaha. BUT, it will all be worth it when I do decide to have my second/final baby. :) People say that you forget all about everything in pregnancy and that just doesn't apply to me. I was THRILLED to be pregnant, but OMG...was it miserable. All of it was of course, WAY worth it...but holy crap. Some people have perfectly pleasant pregnancies and some absolutely LOVE being pregnant (those are the women I am envious of), but NOT ME!
Anywho, I totally got off track. So Jaxx and I went to the rodeo and he absolutely LOVED it. He thought the people tackling the calves to the ground was hilarious! hahaha. Tanner was at the lease for the night turkey hunting, so it was just little man and I. We had a blast.
