Happy Easter Sunday!

Easter Sunday is my favorite Sunday (aside from the primary program.  Little kids singing. The. Best.).
Everyone is dressed in their new Easter outfits and this Sunday was our fast and testimony meeting. Perfect combo.

For those that don't know, at my church we have a fast and testimony meeting once a month where during sacrament meeting anyone can get up and bear their testimony of Christ.  It's usually a very spiritual experience.  Even more so because the kids outdid the adults! Their testimonies are short and sweet and one little girl who had to of been about 8 or 9 even started to choke up.  So sweet.


The festivities started with a visit to the Easter bunny.  It took FOREVER to get in but it was worth it. Jackson LOVED the Easter bunny even though it freaks me out.  The bunny's head was all drooped down and I could tell he was asleep so the camera man had to say "Wake up Easter bunny!" Jackson hugged him, kissed him and wouldn't let go.  We also got to have a picture with a real bunny.  He liked that one too.  He tried to stand up on the wheel barrow and tipped it over and the bunny fell out.  No one was hurt though.


We had the Marino's come over Saturday night to dye some Easter egg.  Scott and I started a tradition of shooting the eggs that we make.  Don't know if we will be able to do that here since there really isn't an outdoor range near. Bummer.












My Easter Sunday did not start off too well however.  I woke up with a headache, Jackson wasn't being the happiest, I was making the hard boil eggs for Easter dinner and couldn't get them to come out (finally did), realized my ham wasn't going to fit into my crock pot (converted it to an oven recipe and worked great).... the list just kept adding up.  Thankfully it was fast and testimony meeting and that helped the mood and by the end of the day I was much better. We had the Beardley's come over for Easter dinner which was SO good! Jackson LOVED the ham and basically everything I put on his plate! He is doing so good with eating!





Easter basket for Jackson.  He got a cheeping chick, crayons, a ball, and bubbles.  The candy is for us =)






He was a MESS but LOVES feeding himself
I need to get over the fact that Jackson doesn't care about stuffed animals.  Scout liked it though...

Jackson is... 2???

How did that happen?! 2 years ago today we got to finally go home after his open heart surgery after being born, which you can read about  RIGHT HERE What a fun little man we have on our hands.  He runs around all day.  Loves anything to do with balls, cars, and trains.  Typical boy.  He talks in full sentences, sleeps in a big boy bed, and we will soon start potty training! He also sings songs the ABCs and many songs he has learned at church.  So cute to listen. Thank you Lucie for the adorable pictures!   For his birthday I really wanted to do something low key and not too much work.  Of course that doesn't apply to the cake, the most fun part! We took what Jackson loved and made a party out of it. A ball party.  We had it in our backyard, invited a few of his friends (also my nieces and nephew were in town!) and played with big and small balls, all sports balls, and bubbles (ball shaped). Now for the cake.  SO MUCH FUN! It took a c

Metopic Craniosynostosis

Updated Pictures of my handsome 4 year old! The most noticeable part is the scars is above his ears on either side. This spreading of the scar doesn't always happen but he seemed to have a lot of swelling after surgery in this area which stretched out the scars. The scares are most noticeable after a hair cut (which is during this). You can kind of see in this picture his squiggle scar that goes across his head from ear to ear. It's not super noticeable. I often get asked about Jackson's scar on his head.  Although his hair has grown A LOT since his surgery, it is still pretty obvious I think.  People are so funny about it though.  We usually get double takes or triple takes and only some people are bold enough to ask. WHICH IS FINE!  I don't know why people are so scared to ask.  Maybe because they think they will offend me? I don't know.  But some do ask and I reply he had Metopic Craniosynostosis. Metopic cranio whata wha? Short Answer: He

Baby Girls Nursery Reveal

Image
After having two boys, and putting together two different BOY nurseries, I was so excited to go in a completely different direction this time around.  Yes, dinos, cars, and animals are cute, but girly pink and flowers are much more fun to craft together.  This nursery turned out better than I thought it would and it is all DIY! And if I did it, so can you! Thank you PINTEREST! Lets start with the walls.  Where the white is, there used to be green with a small white stripe.  Originally, we were just going to paint it and leave it white. BUT, after doing that I HATED it! Luckily, I gained some inspiration from the bedding and found  these vinyl triangles   on Etsy.  They were a great price and we were very pleased with them.  Especially because they came with more than the 100 it said it would. The laser level came in handy when hanging these. The bedding I couldn't find bedding that I really liked anywhere.  Again, I turned to Etsy but then realized
