"Hoppy" Easter

Happy Easter Y'all! What a whirlwind, super fun, day we had! We got up this morning and McKenzie found her basket from the Easter Bunny! She was really excited about it! Then we headed to Madison for the day to spend time with the Lamb Fam. We were all together and it was really fun! McKenzie got to hold Tucker for the first time today and that for sure was a highlight to her day. She was quick to tell everyone holding him that he was not a doll and that he needed to be held very gently. Can you tell what we told her?! Then, after Easter lunch we had McKenzie's 3 year pictures taken and some of the 3 of us too. That was the first time that we had family pictures taken since McKenzie was 6 months old. It was defiantly time! I am not sure it was the best time with my growing belly but, it was well overdue! After that it was back to the farm for the famous egg hunt and baskets, as well as dessert! Then time to head back home. It was a fast day but a really fun day too! However, the very best part of this day is that He is Risen!

Looking over the rail to see if her basket is off the table! Did the Easter Bunny come?

Down the stairs to begin the hunt!

Looking all over for her basket while wearing her favorite pair for high heels! (Thanks Auntie Amber for those! They sound great on the wood floor!)

ELC Easter Party

This morning was McKenzie's Easter Egg Hunt at her school. It was so fun! We had to have the egg hunt inside because of the weather. It was sprinkling this morning so they just hunted in the room. There were eggs every where! Me, being mom of the year...forgot to send in McKenzie's Easter basket. I felt so awful. Poor baby was the only one without a basket. She had to use a Target bag. She was that kid...and I was that mom! Oh well, what can I do about it now.

McKenzie is hilarious to watch hunt eggs. She found two and then sat down in the middle of the floor to eat what was inside. Meanwhile, all the other kids are picking up all the eggs. I tried to explain to her that she needed to keep hunting eggs and eat the treats later, but she did not care. She was just as happy to have a few eggs and eat the the treat then!

The classroom already for the kids to come in!

Waiting in the hall to entire the hunt!

CHARGE!

Egg one!

Ahhh...now that she has about 4 eggs it is time to take a break from hunting and eat what is inside!

Jackson does not understand...he is trying to get all the eggs he can!

Still eating!

Just one more piece!

Back on the hunt!

Such a sad little face...

Look how full all the baskets are! Don't worry, the teacher took them into the hall to make sure all the kids got the same amount!

One happy girl!

Easter Egg Fun

Today McKenzie and I dyed Easter eggs. She loved it! She was moving the eggs from one color to the next. Some of them are beautiful colors and others, I am not really sure what color they are. Oh well, we had a blast!

Tate's Spends the Weekend

On Friday, we went up to Brian and Amber's house. I have been dying to get my hands on Tucker again, and Jason has been wanting to meet him! Look at how small he looks on Jason's lap. However, Tucker is a good 8 pounds. It is just amazing after having a 30 pounder these days I guess he just looks extra tiny!

Friday, we brought Tate home with us for the weekend so Brian and Amber could get some much needed R&R! Yesterday, the plan was for Mom and Dad to come up and we were all going to go to the rodeo. However, we found out yesterday that the rodeo did not start until 8:00 pm and it was over an hour away. So, we decided on plan B! Jason and I had a date night and Mom and Dad took Tate and McKenzie out to Chuck E Cheese to play and then had pizza from Papa John's! Mom and Dad took Tate back home this morning and of course loved on sweet Tucker too!

We had a great weekend! Tate and McKenzie are hilarious together these days. They just feed off of each other and their conversations are so real and so funny to listen to. All I have heard all afternoon from McKenzie is how she misses Tate and wants him to come and play.

Here are some pictures from our weekend:

Sweet cousins...Tate LOVES jerseys and always has one on so this is the closest that we have for a jersey for MG...she was happy to wear one too!

3 Year Wellness Check Up

Today, McKenzie had her 3 year check up. She did such a great job! The nurse checked her hearing and vision which were both great! She now weighs 34 pounds (50-75%) and is 40 inches tall (95%). For the first time they took her blood pressure by telling her they needed to check how strong her mussels were and she had to wear a little gown. She looked so cute in it too! Of course a baby doll went with us and had to see the doctor too because it woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever, as McKenzie explained to her doctor! It was hilarious! So, McKenzie got a great report and is totally healthy and baby was diagnosed with strep throat! After one shot we got to leave and a giant sticker made everything better along with the hot pink band-aid!
