Easter 2011

For Easter we got the kiddos up and went to Sunrise service at 6:00. Mason was upset b/c he didn't get to dress up for that, even though he was in his pajamas and barely awake. :) Afterwards, the men in our church always cook the lady's breakfast in the Fellowship Hall. It was wonderful, by the way. We then had to come home and get ready to be back at church at 10:30. It was kind of hectic b/c we all had to have showers except Jaxon. Then, we all had to get our Easter clothes on. After church, we went to my parent's house for lunch and to hunt Easter eggs. Here are a few of our Easter pictures.

Hectic Times

As many of you that have kids know, it can get really hectic at times. I feel like sometimes I am being pulled in all different directions trying to meet Jaxon's needs and still give Mason the attention he craves. Mason is still being a great big brother and want's to hold Jaxon all the time. Sometimes I forget that I am not only a mother but I am a wife too and I have been trying not to neglect my husband as well. Sometimes when I lay down to go to sleep at night I wonder if I even talked to my husband other than to say "Can you do this for Mason" or "Can you do that for Jaxon". It's difficult to balance everything sometimes but I'm figuring it all out.

And now I am going to leave you with a few pictures I have taken recently of the kids.

Christmas has come and gone.

I can't believe how fast Christmas snuck up on us and then we blinked our eyes and it was gone. It gets faster every year. We had a great time with family and friends. All Mason wanted from Santa this year was a big bulldozer.





This was Christmas Eve night at my grandparent's house.







Then we came home and sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn and fixed Santa chocolate milk and cookies which Mason had to sample. Then, it was time for bed.

Christmas morning Tim and I woke up early and had to wait for Mason to wake up. That never happens. He's always up at the crack of dawn but of course not on this day. Santa was very good to our household.

How did your Christmas go?

Fun at the Falls

Saturday morning we got up, ate breakfast and headed to Noccalula Falls to spend the morning.







Mason was all about riding the train, petting the animals and putting his faces in the animal cutouts so I could take his picture. It was a great family fun filled day.
