Easter

This year Easter was a blast. Jaiden was so excited to hunt for eggs and get Easter baskets. He got invited to a little egg hunt and went straight for the sporty ones.


Oh, how this boy loves candy. The first egg he found was immediately opened, candy gobbled up, and shell thrown on the ground. He knows what he wants.

He loves his friends!

Aren't these the cutest kids you've ever seen?? We missed you Chance and Logan!! You both are just as cute ;)

Mimi and Papa throw one heck of an egg hunt! Jaiden loved it.

I got 2 dollars, I got 2 dollars, I got 2 dollars, hey, hey, hey, hey!!


Not only did he get dollars, he got coin monies. Oh yeah!



The Easter Bunny paid a special visit to our house too. He left a trail of jelly beans all the way from the front door up to Jaiden's bedroom.



I think the Easter Bunny brought Jaiden a little too much candy... Oops.


He was way too excited for his own good.



He loves his Peeps. He calls them his "babies."



Easter was very fun this year. But we can't forget the most important part, the Savior. It was so nice to be able to focus more on Him this month. It has helped me to always remember Him and constantly keep Him in my heart and mind. I hope you all had a Happy Easter!!

New

Remember this picture....


There have been a few new things going on at our house.


We got a new puppy, Nico. He's such a sweet baby. Jaiden loves him and has often been found calling him, "honey peanut." It's too cute.

Nico is such a good sleeper. We've had him now for about a week and he's sleeping through the night. He's been very easy and I consider us lucky. Remember that picture?? Remember that crazy hair? One of my most favorite things about my Jaiderbug... I loved seeing how crazy it got after his nap. I love how blonde and soft it was. He was very lucky to have such great hair. I was feeling slightly ambitious this morning and decided to tackle this seemingly impossible task myself. Last week his Gigi(my mom) attempted to cut his hair at her salon(it's been done before). But after Jaiden barricaded himself behind a side table I had this feeling that it would never happen. I knew his hair would just keep growing and continue to get out of control. And I knew that I would have to continue listening to my family tell me to cut it. I've never cut hair like this before. I was nervous before I turned the clippers on. But somehow I managed to get Jaiden in a happy place and he wasn't scared at all. I do have to say that I'm very impressed with myself. It turned out perfect. He sure thought he looked pretty cool. Jaiden looks so handsome to me. And so grown up. We're very blessed to have such a cute little boy.


This crazy cowlick was my number one worry. It drastically swoops from right to left. I didn't want him to look like I cut his hairline too short. It turned out pretty good.


I'm glad I did this. I love it! I love how he looks and I finally have me some peace of mind.

And to my wonderful family...

Are you guys happy now?? ;)
