This Weekend

This weekend we did a whole lot of nothingness and it was good. We hit up another Easter egg hunt on Saturday. Camden found 101 eggs! He was excited about that! The rest of the time we sat out in the sunshine, cleaned house, read books, went for long walks, ate corn on the cob, shot BB guns (including me!),went to the store to stock up on some things we needed and some things that we didn't know we needed, and watched a show about the Titanic since it is the 100th anniversary. Camden was very interested in the Titanic since he studied about it in school. We also found Bear like this....

Camden decided today that he needed to get a tan. He asked Daddy what happened to his tan that he had last summer. Daddy had to explain that tans fade away during the winter and he would need to live somewhere warm year round to keep a tan. This prompted Camden to say, "That means Santa doesn't ever get a tan!"

Easter Sunday

Here is my men striking their GQ pose!

 Have to get the mandatory family pic!

 Everyone at church asked Camden if he was going to preach! Ha Ha! I am sure that he would have a LOT to talk about!

Easter Bunny

We dyed up some eggs with Madeline and Emily. Then we got ready for the Easter Bunny to hop on over. I know it is silly but I have to hold onto his childhood as long as I can! He will be grown up before I can blink!

I asked Camden what "My Giver" means and he said, "You know, someone that gives you something!" I would have thought "Dear Easter Bunny" would have been more appropriate, but what do I know? So anyway, we left the big furry guy some carrots and then we were off to bed! He left Camden some nice surprises and a note!

We had such a fun Easter with our family and enjoying some quiet time too. We had several egg hunts (Camden liked to hide his eggs in clumps...he should stick to the hunting!), camped out, did 15 minutes of shopping, ate lots of food, visited relatives and went to church. It really was a Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Grandma

Happy Birthday to Grandma! Camden has had many special moments with you in his life! Not to mention that you spoil him a little, well maybe a lot! Ha!

We hope you enjoy your special day!

Happy Easter

Bentley wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter! He has been chasing bunnies all over the yard but they are just too fast for him! Camden's school had an egg drop. He had to build a safe house for an egg and then each student's egg got dropped to see which one didn't break. We put some bubble wrap around his egg and then put it in a little Styrofoam case and he won!

 We had to do a few practice runs the night before. We threw this little egg as high as we could and it didn't break so we knew we had a good chance!

 We still believe in the Easter Bunny and we love to dye eggs and we get to eat some awesome chocolate at Easter.  These are just some of the special things about this Holiday, but the most important one of all is Jesus.  As we were driving home we saw a sign in front of a church that read, "The key to Heaven was hung on a nail."  We are rejoicing today in the fact that He is risen.

Happy Easter to everyone!

Spring is Springing

Camden and I decided to hide some of these. This was always the best part of Easter for me growing up. I hope he enjoys this activity as much! Then, of course, we had to throw in some sweetness for snack time! Ha!

Camden asked me, "Mommy, the money you are saving for me to go to college, do I spend it on college or can I spend it on anything?" Um, let me think about that and I will get back to you!

Also, he asked, "Are squirrels really necessary?" Well, I am not sure, but they do hide acorns and Bentley gets some serious exercise chasing them! 

Nerf Wars

This is how I spent the majority of my weekend...dodging bullets! The Nerf Wars are on and they go until the last man is standing. I still have nightmares of the time I got hit in the temple with one of those bullets. It kind of hurt a little! When do the Hunger Games start again? I might do well in them! Ha!

 Since Grandma is on a cruise this week with Sue's family, Daddy decided to show Camden some pictures on the Internet of what her cruise ship looks like. Camden wanted to know if that was the Titanic. Lord, let's hope not!! We sure do hope Grandma is having the time of her life!
