Easter Day 2010

We had a good Easter morning. Easter bunny brought Hailey a good set of gifts. We had a fun little egg hunt, and then read about Jesus' death and resurrection. Hailey learned about Easter, and that the Easter bunny is not the center of the holiday. We headed to Nana and Papa's house for more egg hunts and dinner. While Hailey napped we played a couple games of Jenga. So fun. All in all a good day. Back to the grind again tomorrow. YAY!














See my belly starting to grow... here comes another big ol baby!

New Baby Winder--09/27/2010

Baby Winder... this is at 10 weeks, just a little peanut then. But we are at week 15 now, and we'll be getting another ultrasound at about 21 weeks (Mid May) and we'll find out the sex of the baby then too. So exciting. Just thought maybe some of you haven't seen our ultrasound photo, so here it is. YAY!!!

We tried on Easter dresses, there were several sent to us this year. Then we did and Easter project and dyed Easter eggs. It was so much fun!!!

Dying eggs is a messing business!

So many pictures to catch up on, so here are a few, I'll try to post new ones as they come. Trevor and I are sharing a computer once again, no laptop, so I'll get pictures and updates on here when I get the time. Enjoy!!!

Christmas Day

We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year. We had a great Christmas, and it wasn't just because we got really great gifts. Sharing our holiday with others and being with family is a really great thing. This year we taught Hailey that getting presents is not the only reason behind Christmas, Christmas is about faith, family and giving back to others. In an attempt to teach Hailey about giving we bought some books and donated them back to our local libraries in her name. We cleaned our our clothes and toys and donated them to charities that can pass them on to others who could use them. We adopted two soldiers overseas and sent them goodies for the holidays. And Hailey got to make gifts to wrap and give to friends and family. We hope that these things can be something we do every year, possibly turn into traditions, and just become second nature to not only receive gifts but to give back to those who are both less fortunate and those who make it possible for us to live in this country and have the luxuries that we do. She's only two, so hopefully it will be something she always remembers doing.

Christmas morning, what a good day!

Waiting on mom and dad's bed so she can go out and see what Santa brought her

Backgammon--Trevor really wanted this and I surprised him

helping Nana open her presents

black jeans for Papa, pretty much a standard gift for him. We don't have a fireplace, so we bought a fireplace DVD last year to open presents in front of. Unfortunately, you can't burn all of your torn wrapping paper in a fake fireplace... *shrugs* oh well, we'll make it work anyway.

Mommy and Hailey--Merry Christmas!
