All Things Easter

OK, this is another picture heavy post! But we had such a great Easter weekend, there is so much to share...1st up, Chase had his first egg painting experience. I think Mike was the one who did most of the painting, but Chase had fun watching, and eating the colorful eggs later! Next up, we took Chase to our neighborhoods "Spring Fling" picnic. There were face painters, bounce houses, a petting zoo and more. Chase had a blast with Skylar and other little friends!!! On Easter Sunday, we started the day out at my aunt's club where there was a huge Easter egg hunt. I was afraid Chase wouldn't "get" the hunt part but he was on it! Thank goodness Uncle Boo had a great big hat to stash extra eggs in since Chase's basket was just too small! After his club hunt, we went over to pa & ah's house where he had a private egg hunt and a great big Easter basket waiting for him. He did great on the hunt there too, and loved his new ball and trucks. We then went over to Bruce & Sally's for a lovely Easter dinner with the whole family. And that was not all of for Chase's Easter celebration...yesterday, his Easter "box" arrived from his nana filled with an Easter book, cookies, egg colors and more for Audrey too. All in all it was a great weekend and it was great that we were so busy - it kept my mind off of waiting for Audrey's arrival!

At The Stables

Yesterday we finally went to visit my cousin at her stables so Chase could check out the horses and get his first ride by himself! Its a long drive and Sally and I made it even longer by getting lost (my fault, blame it on the pregnancy ;)) but we finally made it and Chase had a BLAST. He LOVED riding the horse and "so so " liked riding the tractor. Chase loves his toy tractors but I think being on the real thing intimidated him a bit. He was a trooper and was so brave the whole day. What fun for a little guy...I think it was like Disneyland for him!!!
I have a little something in common with Jewel....she's also pregnant, and actually overdue. I think I look more like the overdue one!

First time alone!!!!


Hanging with Auntie Shane



Going a little faster with Shane..








Backwards was a little scarier...

He was so balanced and listened so well...held on very tight to Poppy's mane!



Tractor time with Jesse!




No smiles for the camera...but he did have fun!

Maternity Pics!

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend some time taking maternity pictures with Erin Norman, a local Las Vegas Photographer and friend. I knew they would be awesome, because, well, Erin is an awesome photographer, but MAN was I ever OVERWHELMED by her creativity, vision and production!!! I LOVE my pictures and will treasure them forever, as I hope Audrey will too. Below is a bit of picture overload, but I just love them all!
