Easter, Bikes and Springtime!

I don't think it is ever going to stop raining. It snowed all winter and now we are going to have rain all spring :( I am thanking God that we have not had as bad as storms as the south though. We have had a few tornadoes, but nothing like Alabama and a few other states have gotten. It breaks my heart to see the damage there and to know there were so many deaths. Praying God will be with them!

On another note, we have been taking advantage of the days when it is nice out! Easter was NOT nice. It was misting all day long and all of our egg hunts were inside! :( However, it was so fun to teach Emma the real meaning of Easter. While talking about Jesus's death, she would look at me so concerned. Her eyes were very big and she looked like she was about to cry. When we got to the part about Jesus rising again, she started laughing and clapping. It is so sweet. I really love the innocence she has right now. She is such a loving and caring person. It warms my heart to know how much she loves Jesus already!

Maddie in her Easter dress with Paw. Of course her bib is blocking the front of the dress.



One of Emma's Easter egg hunts! She made out quite well!




Trying to decide what to do with all of them....


I think next year we may just put stickers in the eggs. WAY too much candy!

And would you believe for each of her hunts, I forgot to bring her cute Easter basket?!?!?! AHHHHH, I hate it when I do things like that!


Emma and her cousin Maxine having fun with Papaw!


Maddie got bubbles in her basket and she got to experience them for the first time! :)



We also went to a baby shower this past weekend for Brandon's cousin and his girlfriend. They are going to have a little girl and are naming her Mya. I love it! Emma loved helping opening the presents! It was a small family shower and we had such a great time!


We also had Emma ride a two-wheeler bike for the first time! She had to wait patiently while Daddy fixed the seat (it was given to us), but eventually she was able to show her stuff! (Yes, we did have a helmet too! :))



She got tired of waiting, so she decided to take a short walk :)






FINALLY DONE! :)


So happy!

While all that was going on, Maddie sat and waited patiently in the grass....







What's over there?

No, I think I like what's over here better.....Sister and Daddy! :)


Emma and Maddie are doing wonderfully. Emma has to make sure Maddie sees her do things. She loves to entertain Maddie. She will sing, dance and give her kisses all day long. She also loves it when Maddie "toots". :) I cannot believe Emma is going to be three years old in three short months! Brandon and I are going to take the day off of work (it is a Friday-yea!) and we are going to do something special with her while the grandparents spend the day with Maddie. I am not sure what we will do yet. The Children's Museum has a Dora and Diego exhibit right now. She would go crazy over that. That may be our choice. We could do that and the zoo and a fun lunch. That would completely make her day :)
I hope we have some more nice spring days coming up soon. One thing's for sure-we are going to have the greenest grass ever!
