A Coloring EGGStravaganza!

The night before Easter we decided to color Easter eggs for the Easter bunny. This was my first attempt at coloring eggs since becoming a parent. I remember having lots of fun dying eggs as a child and I wanted my children to have memories of coloring eggs as well. So we took our kits over to The McDonald's house so we could share this experience together. Connor was "all boy" about the whole thing. Instead of neatly using the egg dipper to drop or remove his eggs from the dye he used his hands. There was dye everywhere. He really enjoyed putting the stickers on the eggs after they dried. We took the eggs home and carefully laid them out for the Easter bunny to see. All in all it was a messy but enjoyable experience!

Hoppy Easter!

We took the kids to see the Easter Bunny today. They both adored him! Caroline kept staring up at him and trying to grab his nose. Connor sat close by and smiled so big for us! They were really cute!

"Connor Daddy"

I just had to share this picture we took of Connor while he was playing with Craig's shoes. He kept referring to himself as "Connor Daddy." He is just so . . . cute you wanna eat him up.

Sumter County Fair 2008

Last night we took the family to the Sumter County Fair. We wanted to see the crash-up derby because we knew Connor would love watching the cars crash. We also wanted to watch Jeanne's nephew, Austin, compete in his first derby. (He took fourth place, Yippee!) I think Connor's favorite part was watching the Monster Truck spin in the dirt. Before the derby started we took Connor on a few rides that were age appropriate. We also took a little tour of the animals that were being shown at the fair. It was a fun night that kept the kids up really late. We snapped a shot of Caroline sleeping in the car on the way home. They were exhausted but they had an awesome time!

SeaWorld

Today we took the kids to SeaWorld for the first time. They were so . . . good. I didn't get a chance to take very many pictures because there was so much to see and do. Connor loved the dolphins and sea lions. We bought him a little plastic dolphin as a souvenir and he played with that dolphin tonight in the bath tub forever. He would make the dolphin perform all the tricks that he saw the real dolphins perform today. It was really cute when I asked him what the dolphin's name was he came up with "Craig." Caroline was an absolute jewel today. She loved the shows and seeing the penguins and dolphins in the underwater views. It was a fun but windy day.

Hats Off to a Great Morning!

I snapped a few pictures of Connor & Caroline playing with Connor's hats this morning. This is one of the first times I have been able to get a picture of both of them together. Connor is actually smiling at the camera now. He used to be the worst one to take pictures of because he wouldn't even look at the camera most times.

Steppin' Out!

Caroline is finally walking. She started taking steps last week and she just gets better & better each day. We are really excited that she is stepping out!
