HOPpy Easter....


Olivia has this new thing, she likes to climb inside EVERYTHING...well she has this little baby doll crib...it didn't go so well, someone got "uck" or stuck as we would say.

Easter Weekend -Fun was had by all...except maybe Avery, I am not so sure she knows how to have fun yet, but you better believe we are working on it, a child of mine will know how to have fun just as soon as its physically possible.

Egg Coloring Smock - highly recommended

The end result...


Saturday YaYa came over and helped Olivia color eggs...she wasn't thrilled with it, but she liked the end result. She did however have a blast playing on the deck in her "not really my Easter dress" dress. Brad spent the better part of the day mowing the lawn and spreading stuff on it so it grows and so the weeds die. Oh and I should mention...Olivia skipped her nap, she coughed her face off and couldn't settle down.



Sunday we went to Breakfast with my parents and then they came back to the house so Olivia could open her Easter Basket from the Easter YaYa. She had a blast opening her presents and playing with the grass then it was off to the Easter Egg Hunt in the Koehler's backyard with Zack. Brad and Justin were in charge of hiding the eggs...Insley and I watched from inside as they chucked them all over the yard, MEN. Olivia and Zack had a blast hunting for the eggs, it was adorable to watch them spot an egg and rush over to it...Olivia had a coughing attack so we brought her home for another breathing treatment and then it was nap time...oh wait, thats right, she skipped her nap again on Sunday. GIVE ME A BREAK. If this girl is giving up her naps, and I get laid off and become a stay at home Mom I will lose my mind. Sunday evening we went to The Koehlers (my parents joined) for Easter Dinner, Insley and her Mom prepared a fabulous meal and Olivia devoured about 4 rolls...but did manage to eat a few bites of Ham and Sweet Potato.


Brad was on an early flight to Atlanta this morning, he will be back late Thursday night so after Olivia went to bed he packed and finished up a few things for work and then hit the hay so he could get up at 4:45 to catch his flight, poor thing...and then the flight was delayed, go figure.

Avery has been fairly consistent with her night time feeding schedule, she usually eats between 2-4am, and then gets up for the day around 7:30-8:30am. Last night she ate around 8:30pm, but didn't fall asleep until after 10pm, woke to eat at 3:30am and then was up for the day at 7:30am. The poor thing is so congested after she eats she has to sit up right for a while to let the formula pass so as to not create extra mucus. GROSS.

I am happy to report, one of my close friends from home had a darlin' baby boy at 2:16am on Easter Morning. Evan Michael weighed in at 7lbs 12oz (just like his big brother) and happens to look just like his adorable big brother as well - congrats Theresa and Roman, and of course Big Brother B. I can't wait to meet him when we head to Northfield in a few weeks.
