Meeting the Easter Bunny

One of John Turner's best friends, Gracie, had a birthday party the Friday before Easter. It was the cutest party ever! It was all Easter themed and the kids had a blast! The best part of the party was that the Easter Bunny came to visit! John Turner was totally amazed that he was there. Judson wasn't sure what to think of this thing! I am so glad we didn't have to go see the creepy bunny in the mall this year! This one was much cuter!

Egg Dying

John Turner was very excited about dying Easter eggs this year. Judson had already gone to bed so he didn't get to participate this year. We pretty much let him do everything by himself this year. Yes, it was quite a mess but he had a blast! And we ended up with some beautiful eggs!

Easter Sunday 2012

The Easter Bunny made his way to our house and delivered two baskets full of goodies!

We had to wake John Turner up on Easter morning. Once he woke up, he made a bee line to the living room to see what the Easter Bunny had left him! He was THRILLED with everything he received!

Next, John Turner helped Judson go through his basket and show him what he had gotten. He was excited about it all!

My sweet boys just love each other so much!

After all the Easter morning fun, we had to all go get dressed quickly in order to make it to church on time. I am thinking that the Easter Bunny may start coming on Saturday or on Sunday afternoon. It was too hard to pull them away from the goodies!

My three loves!

My two precious boys and me

Oh, My! How I just love this picture of my two sweet and handsome little boys! This just captures each of them so well! They looked so precious dressed up in their coordinating Easter outfits!

We always get a picture in front of the beautiful flower-filled cross as church on Easter morning. This year the sun was just too bright to look a the camera!

This last picture means the world to me. This is my best friend, Kelly, and her family. We have been best friends since we got our master's degrees together back in 2003. Long before our kiddos! Now we are both surrounded by a bunch of boys! I love having her as my best friend and boy mom!

Church Preschool Egg Hunt

We attended our first egg hunt of the year last weekend. It was the preschool egg hunt that our church has each Easter. John Turner was more excited about egg hunting this year than he has ever been! It was Judson's first egg hunt ever! He even missed his entire morning nap to attend!

I tried to take a cute picture of them before the egg hunt in front of Ms. Dana's cute Easter decor. John Turner is actually getting to where he will let me take his picture. Of course, Judson is now getting to the stage where he is more interested in everything around him and doesn't want to look at the camera!

The children painted sun catchers before the egg hunt. John Turner's was just beautiful! It is the one with the yellow sunshine behind the cross.

Here is big boy just patiently waiting for Mrs. Rachel to say, "GO!"

And here he is hunting eggs! I looked back at him doing this exact same thing last year, and my how he has grown! He was really good at hunting eggs this year. He filled his basket to the brim!

He couldn't wait to get back to show Daddy and Brother all of his eggs!

I just love doing things like this with John Turner. He is such a smart, silly and independent boy!

Of course, before we ate lunch, Mrs. Rachel shared the Easter story with us.

We had a wonderful morning at this event!

Dr. Watt

John Turner's classroom had uniform day at school They could wear any kind of uniform they wanted. I talked to John Turner about it and he told me he wanted to be a doctor and dress like Daddy. So, I went on the search for some scrubs to fit a skinny 3 year old! Luckily, I succeeded.

He was so excited to have his picture made with Daddy since they "matched"! He is really into things matching these days!

I think Daddy was very proud that this little boy wants to be so much like him!

Our sweet little tater tot turned 8 months old on the 26th. He is just growing up on us too fast! He still has his perfect little laid back go with the flow personality. He is just getting to be such a fun little monkey--Starting to explore things and jabbering at us. We think he is such a precious little angel!

Brush, Brush, Brush Your Tooth!
