Easter Dinner

This year it was my turn to host Easter Dinner! It was a lot of hard work, but everything turned out great and it was wonderful to have everyone over to my house that day! My parents came, as did my grandmother, and Nelson's parents as well. It was a good day, a busy day, but a good family day! The food turned out pretty good if I don't say so myself.

If you can see the Easter Egg Tree on the table, that is what Will and his babysitter (Aunt Richie) made for us for their Easter holiday project! It turned out soooo cute! They blew all the egg goo out of the shells and painted them then hung them on the tree they made! It was just the cutest tree ever!

I guess it was a long day for Will (for Mommy too) after his bath, he just crashed! I guess his sugar high was over!! He was just sitting straight up on our bed passed out! What a great day!

Easter

We had a great Easter! I woke the boys up early that morning so they could check out what the Easter Bunny had brought them before we headed to church. Will was very excited to see all the CANDY!! I think he thought he had won the chocolate lottery! That boy has such a sweet tooth!

Ajay didn't really grasp the holiday, of course, but that doesn't mean he wasn't happy as could be getting into all his goodies!

Since it rained all day long, we hunted Easter eggs at church inside. Will got quite good at it and made a haul! During church, Father Blagg called all the kids up to the front for a little show and tell part of his sermon and Will headed up there (he made his Grams go up there with him). And Father Blagg was showing them the anointing oils and ashes and holy water and was blessing each child up there and he got to Will and was about to bless him and Will jumped back and said, "No Thank You" really loud! He got the congregation laughing (about continued making them laugh during the 10 minutes he was up there!). He cracks me up sometimes! Then he kept marching up and down the pews the entire time (note to self, do not give your child Easter candy before church). It was a good day though!

I finally got the boys to sit (note the chocolate in Will's hands and mouth) but at least he sat still for 30 seconds, long enough for me to at least snap a picture of them together. I had a vest for Will to wear that looked like Ajay's but Will said, "Mom, please don't make me wear that vest." So I figured, he is at that age, no more baby cute dress up clothes, my boys are growing up too fast!!

Look Who's Crawling!

My little baby boy is growing up so fast! He actually started crawling about 4 weeks ago, but I am just getting to post about it because our computer suffered a major virus (thanks face book) and it deleted EVERYTHING! Thus, sorry it has been a while since I posted anything, but I will try to catch up!

Anyway, little Ajay (well, he is not very little), came in at a whopping 21 pounds at his 8 month checkup! He is a very big boy! He is starting to look more and more like a little boy instead of a baby (tears). They just don't stay little for long! He is into EVERYTHING! He is getting pretty fast at the crawling too! I can put him down in the living room and run to do something, and in 10 seconds I am having to play "hide-n-g0-seek" to find him. He is also starting to pull up too! Nelson walked into check on him this morning and I hear, "Mama, you better get in here and see this. . . " So I get in there and there he is standing up in his crib holding onto the sides jumping! He is going to be a little monkey I can tell!

We also have gained two teeth over the last few weeks! (Thank goodness that is over) Now only 20 more or so to go! Yeah!
