In one very short week we will be meeting Grandma and DD in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Because of our trip we decided not to travel back to Ohio for Easter. As much fun as we had with the Garland Family I have to admit when I read "Eggs-ellent Weekend" on
we sure did miss alot back home! You must check out this post - it's fabulous!
BUT we are SO fortunate to have friends we can call family when time does not allow a trip back to Ohio.
So for Easter Sunday we headed to the Garland's. Here is sweet Kaden greeting Lyla with her Easter basket.
Reese and Kaden got new bikes for Easter - how fun is that. Michael quickly took on the responsibility of helping Reese blow up her tires.
Which we know now he may have had a hidden agenda ;)
Yea for having friends that live just right outside the city with a backyard!!!!
Lyla's lovely curls!
Thanks to grandma posting a picture of Lyla at work - she now has the most beautiful, bouncy, soft curls! A lady my mom works with suggested I try "Porosity" which you can buy at Sally's. After one time of trying it I knew we had found the perfect fix. Everything else I had tried left her hair stiff, wet, greasy, smelly - YUCK!!
The infamous butt shot - I will never get enough!!
Isn't she so sweet!
And as the kids would say...finally it's time to hunt for eggs...and their off!!
Lyla taking a slightly harder approach and going for the hard to reach ones.
Folks - here you have it. Lyla's first bite of milk chocolate. After all it is a special occasion!
Ut oh - I smell trouble. Lyla found some of the yummy goodness on the ground. Here is daddy quickly picking it up!
But watch out - she is quick!!!
The rest of the day was spent playing and me saying to Amy "Where in the world did all these toys come from."
Sweet Jaida - you will be running around soon enough - until then stay just as sweet as you are!!!
Of course they have a tree swing!
Ut oh - more chocolate!
Yum!! Literally - this is Lyla saying "YUM"!!!
But wait - there's more fun to be had - sidewalk chalk!!
And this series coming up is where I will point out that some have put the fear of death in me about having a boy! Okay so I get it - a BOY is obviously going to be different than having a GIRL! But I have hope! Kaden from the moment he was born was a mamas boy - the biggest cuddler of all the Garland kids. Not all BOYS are going to be absolute terror - right???? Come on parents with BOYS - there is another side to this opinion that isn't all bad - right :) So here is my shout-out to ever so sweet Kaden who is "all boy" but has all the sweetness you could ask for!!!!
I love you Garland Family - you are family and we love you so!!!
This one is just a random pic Amy took - but it gives you a good shot of my belly. I am officially 20 weeks - which is when I said I would start taking belly photos. I'll post a side-by-side comparision of my belly now vs. 20 weeks with Lyla.
