Hoppy Easter

On Saturday Grandma, Grandpa and Kyleigh came over to visit and gave the kids their Easter baskets from them.  



The kids were so excited and this made them even more excited for the Easter Bunny to come that night.  As usual, Grandma and Grandpa loaded them up with all kinds of goodies :)


Kelly and Kyleigh always have such a great time together.


Before bed we set out their baskets. The kids got a snack together for the Easter Bunny and wrote him a note to thank him for their goodies. I love that they are the ones who want to write the letter to thank him.




You could tell we have been watching Hop. Kelly came running into our room this morning saying, "Get up! Get up! You have to see what the Easter Bunny pooped out!" 


He brought all kinds of goodies for the kids.



They got their baskets and brought them into our room to check it all out.  They got lots of candy, colored bubbles, crayons and 2 outfits a piece. Austin got a Thomas movie and Sir Topham Hatt riding in Winston and Kelly got the Sofia the first DVD and CD.



For breakfast I made them bunny butts, they were a big hit!


I got them both dressed up even though we were just staying at home.  



My handsome little man and my beautiful little princess!


They both looked so cute I had to take some pictures with them.




It was too wet outside so we did an indoor egg hunt. Jacob and I had fun finding all kinds of hiding places.


I loved watching the kids hunt for the eggs.  Kelly was so serious about it and Austin really got into it this year.  They both were running around getting as many eggs as they could.



We sat down to count them to make sure we had found all of them. Kelly had to organize her eggs first though.



Before dinner we did our last activity, dying eggs.  Kelly loved that her name was on one of them.  




Jacob, once again, made an amazing dinner.  This year he even made the potato salad from scratch.


It was a great family day! Happy Easter!

Austin's first fishing pole

Austin has been asking Jacob for a fishing pole for a little while now and Friday we finally took a trip to Bass Pro Shop to pick one out.  He was so excited and could not wait to go fishing with Daddy and Grandpa.

When we got home he helped Daddy get everything ready.



Daddy took some of his hooks, lures, weights and worms and filled Austin's tackle box.




I just love these two!


I think this is a moment that Jacob has been waiting for ever since we found out we were having a boy!



He had to have a Thomas tackle box, so we made one :)


Saturday morning he was ready to go, fishing hat and all!  As soon as Grandpa got here the three of them headed down to our lake to try out his new pole.



And here is Austin's first fish with his new pole!

Catch up post

We got a new computer so I have missed somethings that we have done.

3/2/13 Grandma came over and made donuts out of biscuits with the kids.  This is something that she did with Jacob when he was little. The kids were so excited to do something that Daddy used to do!  I'm sure it brought back lots of memories for Grandma too.  

My kids love to help in the kitchen!







3/5/13 For my birthday the kids went back into the kitchen, but this time with Daddy to help make me a birthday cake!  It was so cute to watch the three of them.  







They did a great job on the cake, best chocolate cake I have ever had! 

3/9/13 We also took the kids to another Lowe's Build and Grow.  This time they made Monster Mutt.  They both looked super cute in their aprons :) 





This time Austin helped more and did a great job with the hammer!
