Easter!

We spent another eventful Easter at Meme and Papa's Florida house. We've been coming here with Meme for spring break for the past three years! You have never spent Easter at home, so all you know is Easter in Florida! Luckily, the Easter Bunny also knows we are here each year! You love hunting for your basket then searching for eggs hidden in the back yard. And what Easter would be complete without pictures!

We also received our annual Easter picture sent from Daddy and Bronson back home. We sure do miss those boys!

April 6, 2010


AGH! I fell off the wagon yet again. Sometimes in this life, I get so busy just enjoying my baby girls that I forget to stop and record the precious moments of their childhood. Right now, we are in Florida for our annual Spring Break trip! We made the drive down with Meme because at the last minute Daddy got called back to work and couldn't come. Our drive was exciting for the most part, except when you you were going to "spit up." I told you that you would be okay, and that maybe you should drink some juice. A while went by, and you said it again. This time you added, "I feel it comin!" I looked back and sure enough, you were spitting up all of the fruit loops you had eaten for breakfast. We stopped at a rest stop and cleaned you up, changed your clothes, and then got back on the road. It was odd that you got car sick just that one time because two years ago when we drove to Florida Sarah did the exact same thing! Sisters forever!
Anyway, since we arrived, you have done nothing but explore, examine, and experiment! You've been quite a fish at both the pool and the beach, and you absolutely love going on bike rides with me!You just crack me up with your funny expressions. You've recently started doing a funny face thing where you give a thumbs up with a smile, then a thumbs down with a frown, and back and forth again. It cracks me up!
You've also been wearing underwear nonstop, except at bedtime. A few weeks ago, I forgot to put a diaper on you at bedtime. Of course, you wet the bed. But, sweetheart that you are, you kept crying and saying, "I'm sorry, mom. Accidents happen. I'm so sorry!" It almost broke my heart that you were so worried about me being mad at you. So, I explained that it was all my fault, that I forgot a diaper.
Fast forward to last night in Florida. We spent the day at the beach, splashing, digging, and running until you couldn't take it anymore. You came to me at one point and asked to go home, saying, "let's go home. My body needs a yest." We came home but we had missed the nap window and you were roaring to go when we got home. Needless to say, 7 p.m. came around, and you crashed. I put you into bed, you guessed it, without a diaper. Well, you wet the bed at 3 a.m. while sleeping with Meme. She tells me you woke up saying, "it's Mommy's fault, she is going to get a spankin on her butt." Sure enough, you got up this morning and came right over to me, hands on your hips, face in a pout, saying, "Mom, you forgot a diaper. Now I need to spank your butt." When you got to the butt part, you put your thumb down and made a huge frown. I guess I learned my lesson!
We are now headed to the pool, so I will write more later! Love ya peanut!
