Easter 2012

We couldn't have been thankful for such beautiful weather this weekend. We hit the ground running Sunday at 6:00 AM and didn't get home till 8:00 PM that means by the time we got home we had 3 WORN OUT people. We had a wonderful service at church and of course as always a delicious meal at Othermama and Andaddy's. Clay did ok hunting eggs he would pick one or two up shake them then throw them down. He was just more concerned about being outside running wild and free. These past few days I have enjoyed watching him turning out of the baby stage and into the toddler stage it's amazing how much over night he is changing. Here are a few pictures from this past weekend.

Easter Projects

Why in the world I do 5 million projects 2 days before a holiday it beats me. I always wait till the last second. After 2 trips to Walmart I am done except for making cupcakes for Selma tomorrow. All I can say is pinterest made me do it. I have made cross suckers out of jolly ranchers, goldfish carrots and clay a shirt to wear to the the Ellison Easter shindig. Now just cupcakes to go. I have to brag yet again on my sweetest and creative neighbors. When we got home yesterday our yard had been egged not literally they had hidden eggs all over our backyard for us to find. I can't believe Marie kept this from me I know it was killing her. We are off to spend the day at Paw Paw and Gammys then Poppy will be here to stay the night with us. Rick from the Rick and Bubba show will be giving his testimony at church in the morning we are super excited about hearing that. I have to be at church at 730 in the morning for nursery then we will go to 900 service then head to Selma for the afternoon with the Johnson clan. Have a wonderful and Happy Easter.

Easter Bunny

Thought I would share our recent trip to visit the Easter Bunny! Clay wasn't screaming which was great but he wouldn't smile!! We needed Mrs. Angela there!! Hard to believe last year when he had his picture taken with the Easter Bunny he was so small he got lost in his arms he was barely two months. Flash Foward one year and he's a ACTIVE 15 month old! Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Weekend Catch Up

This weekend is alway a stay at home weekend seeing as Jason always has to work the last Saturday of the month but Friday night he surprised me by just casually asking me what I had planned for Saturday I told him and he said well plan on me going also! I was shocked Jason has been at his job for almost 3 years and has ALWAYS worked the last Saturday of the month! Friday night Marie(Summer-I just call her Marie) and the boys loaded the Wagon up to head to Mt. Laurel for early shopping for the neighborhood yard sale by the time we got there and met up with JJ it was POURING!! No shopping for us but we made up for it by going out to eat:) Saturday we did yard work then JJ kept Clay while Marie and I headed to Kids Market for early shopping the best consignment sale in B-Ham by far! Both of us got some great things I even got Clay a sandbox! Sunday JJ went turkey hunting with Steven while Clay and I went to Lowes and went grocery shopping. We ended the wonderful weekend with eating supper with Jason's family and letting Clay play in the pool (just on the top step and its heated). Is it Monday already??? Here are a few picures of Clay from the weekend!

SPRING TIME~

I know you all have been wondering where I have been lately.. We have been enjoying this wonderful weather!! March has had some of the most beautiful days I have ever seen so we have been soaking them up! Clay is so much like his daddy it's not even funny let's just hope he acts like me when he gets older HAHA! When he wakes up in the morning he goes straight to the door wanting to go outside to play! Just about everytime we go to Wal-mart/Target we buy a outside toy since he doesn't have any....that's a lie it looks like our garage and backyard threw up toys! That's ok he loves and enjoys it that's all that matters! We have decided to take a trip to Disney in February of 2013 we are so excited about this I don't know if I can wait that long! Not only is this Clay's 1st trip to Disney it will be my 1st time to fly and I am so excited! It's also very exciting that we are going with Andy, Summer and Baby Lane so the boys wll get to see Mickey for the 1st together! Easter has snuck up so fast this year I guess because it was so late last year. I can't wait to see Clay hunt for eggs this year and see how he reacts. Jason, Clay and I have become members of the church we have been attending since we have lived this has been a amazing church to grow in our realtionship with the Lord and Clay loves the nursery he never wants to leave! That's always a good sign! :) Jason and I both will be baptized or as my grandfather (Andaddy) would say "dunked" I guess that's what they called it when he was growing up in south Georgia. We are looking forward to many many years is our new home church! March 1st was a special little boy Lane's bithday that turned ONE we have enjoyed watching these boys grow up together this past year and I can't wait to see what stunts these boys pull in the future! I have already prepared myself that by the time Clay is 2 he will have stitches he's so wild and all boy I know it will happen!

Where did my baby go??

I recently caught a glimpse of Clay chasing Ty and it hit me where has my little bitty 5 pound 8 ounce sweetie gone?? We have gone from walking to running and from formula to milk in a matter of days!! I can remember when I couldn't wait for Clay to be done with formula because it would be cheaper but I wish I could take those words back!! It has recently hit me I no longer have a baby:( I have a tough active little boy that we spend most of our days outside until we have to drag him in screaming!! We are looking forward to summer time so we can play outside longer and have fun in the pool. Until summer we will just keeping using the bathtub for our pool:) Clay knows his routine a little well he knows that when we get done eating supper I clean the kitchen and daddy baths him. It's kinda funny that when I start washing dishes he looks at Jason and runs for his bathroom!! The past few weeks when we have left him in the nursery at church he has been crying of course the whole time during church I am worried about him. We started thinking that maybe since we went to 11:00 service that could be the problem since it was right in the middle of nap time and plus the fact his class has a lot more kids during that time. We have started going to 8:00 service he has gotten better but of course it still kills my heart and I know he has fun once I am out of sight. Clay starts a mothers day out program at our church in August just 2 days a week from 9-1. I am super excited for this because the ladies there are amazing!! Plus it gives him interaction with other kids his age. Well bedtime is calling for little man and owl is missing so I better go:)
