Hoppy Easter

We had a fantastic Easter Weekend! We had lots of family in town and fun things planned!

On Friday night we dyed Easter Eggs. Brycen wanted to put his hands in they dye more than the eggs.

Waiting to hunt Easter Eggs with most of the neighborhood kids.

After the hunt!

Brycen's first egg!

Found one!

Posing in our Easter Outfits!

Happy Easter!

NEW YORK CITY

Last week Brad and I went to New York.

People were not kidding about small hotel rooms! Thank goodness we didn't spend much time in there.

Our first stop was to Aqueduct Racetrack- Brad wanted to go to a famous racetrack.

La Mela- One of our favorite restaurants in Little Italy!

A visit to Lady Liberty

Visiting the Statue of Liberty Museum- Wow that is a big foot!

The original statue flame!

A foggy day at the statue!

Radio City Music Hall Tour

A windy visit to the "Top of the Rock"

Brad does not like heights so he enjoyed the inside of the building.

Emma and I enjoying the outside view!

The BEAUTIFUL view from the top

A carriage ride in Central Park

Rockefeller Center

We enjoyed a fabulous trip to NYC with Brett and Emma! Brycen was happy to stay behind with his grandparents. We missed him so much though and it was fantastic to see him.

A little late

I know this is a little late but I had a great 30th birthday thanks to Brad! He had a scavenger hunt that included a cake, i-phone, and a trip to NYC to come. That night he had planned a surprise party with my siblings and friends. It was the best birthday ever!

He was sneaky by telling me that only a few of my friends could meet us out. If he told me everyone was busy I would have caught on. It was fun times!

One of my long time friends, Mila- So glad she could make it!!

Heather and I getting our "bowl" on!

Time with Grandparents 2

The next weekend Brycen went to Chuck-E-Cheese with Nonnie and Grandpa! He is blessed to have so many wonderful grandparents!

And just for fun:

When it was warmer last week, Brycen was playing outside on the deck. I went out and he had put Brad's gloves on and was carrying the bucket around. He cracks me up!!

Time with Grandparents

On Valentine's Weekend Brycen spent time with Granny Lu and Papa Ron. He had a great time bowling, hanging out, and fixing things!

Valentine's Day Party

Well I wish I would have been able to go to Brycen's Valentine's party but since I was working I didn't get to go. I left my camera and Mrs. Miada took some pictures for me. If any of you know Mrs. Miada or have heard some of the stories I have told about her, these pictures might be funny. Mrs. Miada has ALL her kids in line. It is a VERY structured environment that my kid LOVES! She even has him speaking two languages for some things like hold me, trash, medicine and a few other random words)

Anyway I am really not sure what is going on in this first picture. I am guessing it is something they do before they eat???
Brycen, Hannah, Holland, Wyatt, and Hunter



Mrs. Miada said she let each kid take turns passing out their Valentines.

Looks like it is Brycen's turn. He has to do everything just like the BIG kids!





Oh, looks like a got a pencil!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Prayers Please

My good friend Mila had a baby four weeks ago. She has been in Washington Regional Medical center in Fayetteville for the past week with RSV. Baby Paige is currently in ICU and is not improving so they are working to move her to Children's Hospital in Little Rock. Please pray the weather will clear up so the Children's Hosptial plane can make it safely to get her and Mila and Dean can arrive in Little Rock safely as well. Also pray for the doctors and Paige as they work to get her well.
Thanks
