Easter Weekend!

Chase's very first Easter Egg Hunt!! He was amazing. He didn't get distracted by any of the other kiddies or the fact that there was eggs in his basket. He was 100% focused on getting MORE eggs into his basket. Other kids? Had.. Two.. three maybe four. Chase had 14. YEAH! Go baby boy!!! He had a blast. Got to have snacks, hang out with about  50 kids and play for a couple hours.  Tim and Marcia put the whole Easter Egg hunt on for their neighborhood. It was so fun for everyone. The kids loved it, the parents had fun talking while their kids ran around having all sorts of good times. Here are some pictures from the weekend. 

Family pictures, thanks Erica!!!

my. huge. child.

Since when is my son so opinionated and grown up? He totally is. But he does love to cuddle still. Anyways.. Today he decided he wanted to play basketball from his crib. If you can imagine how long it took me to figure that one out... ( a few tries...) Anyways.. it was so funny to me. But here are some pictures! He played in there for a while, wouldn't let me get him down. Funny thing though? If I tried to get anything done while he was playing... as in.. i wasn't watching and making eye contact 100%.. somebody gets mad. He loves/needs to have the attention all the time. (he thinks he does anyways)Love my big big boy. 

Totally.

Totally. 100%. In LOVE. I just sometimes have to brag about my sweet husband. It's not like he brings home flowers. or chocolates daily( my butt thanks him) it's just him... This is my blog so I can say as much and as many sappy things about my love if I want. I'm in love.

No.. Love is not easy. And love is not blind (as they may say) but for me? It's remembering all the little things. And thinking of how he tries with all his power to make me happy, and to make Chase happy. Sean doesn't stop. Ever. He is a hard working hunk of a man. He works all day long at his job. BUT before he even goes there? He hits the gym (at 6am so he doesn't miss out on time with his family) and keeps his bod?? a 10!!! (AMEN to that lovey) And comes home ready to take on the family. "Daddy!" "Sean!" "Help me!"  "hungry!"  "I need to stop and pick up a few things" "Bedtime routine" "Baby needs a bath!" "Can you rub my back!" "Car needs the oil changed!" "Wipers need swapped out!" "Trash please" He hears all of this at once and probably lots more the minute he gets into the car. He is happy to see us. When he gets home he is at home. He leaves work troubles (if there even were any) at the metro stop and just enjoys us.  He is a fantastic example of selflessness daily. Patience? well.. He has got the motherload... Anyways.. had to say a few things. Because you know you are crazy CRAY CRAY in love when you have to stop yourself from posting on FaceBook 500 times a day how much you love your husband.... It would drive people crazy.. and probably they would think I was making it up!! ;-))) But it's all true.

I mean.. our life is not perfect! For sure not. But I married someone who puts his family and their hears above his own and I can't imagine being married to a better friend or partner for me. I swear.. He is just wonderful in every way.

Petting Zoo... FUN!

Family fun in Richmond with Dane and Cass and wee babe Tommy.  The Stewarts reunited! Partially. A few weeks ago we made the trip down to visit Dane and sweet Cass and adorable Thomas. It was so fabulous. Cassidi always has these great things to do and she had found us a petting zoo! HELLO!!!?? Perfect! My sweet baby loves animals. He was so excited when he realized that he was able to see and touch and talk to all the goats and pigs (when they got close enough) He would have been in the pens with them if we let him. He was adorable to watch. Kissing at them. Trying to touch the ones that were too far. Making kitty noises at the bobcat, growling at the goat.... squealing at the cows. It was so fun to watch. I'm such a proud mamma. I drag him all over to see what he will do and see what he will love and he loves all the places, people and things he gets to see. He is my little partner. Love...
