Easter Monday

Henry's 2nd Easter was such a fun time. We loved celebrating all week with him. Last year he was too little to even sit up or partake in any of the activities. What a joy it has been to watch this little guy grow over the past year! He is my little bunny.

When Samuel was about this age he had an Easter outfit that almost mirrored Henry's. I should have scanned in the photo and compared them for you, but I am a slacker! Julie said she wished she could still put 13 year old Samuel in these little outfits, and I know I will feel the same when Henry is 13. They are so precious looking and short lived. I am soaking it up while I can!



Th proverbial Easter morning family photo. This was a self portrait with bad lighting and a camera that is on the brink of death, I fear. Despite the lighting and ill camera, I thought we cleaned up pretty well for Easter Sunday!




I love sharing Easter traditions with my sweet boy. Teaching him about Jesus this year with his little toddler Easter CD has been so fun and showing him how to hunt eggs has been a hoot. I realize he will remember none of it this year, but we are teaching him how we do Easter so next year. and the next it will sink in and stick!




My handsome Easter boys. The EB came to see them both and left lots of goodies in their baskets. My BFF, Melissa finds it fascinating that I make a basket for Randall. I told her Randall is a rotten mess...and he actually got more in his basket than Henry did! I always get a basket from Randall too, but this year I asked to have my nails and toes painted instead of a basket. I was tickled pink with my EB gift too (I got pink nails...get it?! ha). When we got married I set stocking and basket expectations for my man, and he has not yet let me down! Train them up in the way they should go...applies for husbands also, not just children!




Henry loved going through his little basket and we loved watching him. It is so true that you don't have to spend much to please a child. What fun to watch him enjoy things from the dollar bin at Target! ha....of course, he thinks the EB brought them. Sweet baby!!





And look at this princess in her dress! Julie sent this picture of Anna before church yesterday. I almost passed out when I saw what a beautiful, big girl she is in this photo! I loved, loved, loved her dress and pearls. I know Julie has Easter photos of the boys to share and an Easter recap from their house. Aunt Abby just had to show of her best girl!



Happy Easter Monday!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
