Just living life!

Easter traditions are always fun and entertaining. My mom is quite crafty with making an Easter Bunny Cake! It's so delicious - as if cake could be anything else!!!



And of course, the lovely bunny cake was devoured by all... LJ had quite a fun time with his portion of the bunny. Check out this face!



Spring has sprung, the grass is green. Hear the little birdies sing! You have missed us, cause we're not home... We went for a walk in the park!!!







LJ's half brother, Kien, had his last basketball game the other weekend. We luckily did not have anything else planned and were able to go and watch him. Here is Kien with his team after they finished the game... Kien is #9 - He's getting so big!



Look at these brother's sharing a quick moment outside after the game... Kien is all smiles, but LJ is more facinated with the basketball!!!



....and then LJ didn't want to give the ball back to Kien!



On the way back home from Kien's game in Caldwell, LJ didn't make it 5 minutes before completely passing out from running around at the game!



My handsome little man is getting quite big for his britches - and shirts too! Not only is this shirt the bestest thing.... it's now almost too small for the buddah belly he's got going at times! Can you read what it says?!?!?!?!



"This is prolly my awsomest shirt" - I got that for him while I was down in Texas at the Hooter's when some classmates and I went for some good chicken wings!

LJ found Bentley's shades and found it hilarious to put them on and take them off... Such a cutie. I couldn't catch him with them on... but I did snap this!



And speaking of sharing... LJ is riding on Bentley's little bug thing... It looks like Bentley's trying to show LJ how to do things so he can take off... The boys are learning how to live together, and it's been awesome having them move in with us.



This face is priceless... it looks like LJ got caught doing something... I guess I should just get use to this sweet look....



Now for a little "behind-the-scene" action.... I was able to help Shandy out with a senior photo shoot last night... And let me tell ya - John (Shandy's husband) was great trying to come up with poses for Mitch! Check him out.... Quite the character!!!

April?! That came fast!!!

So March came and went faster than I was expecting.... But it has brought some changes that have made life interesting! I ended up having to take some time off of work after surgery - a little extra time than I was expecting, but it did allow LJ and I to spend some time outside enjoying the nice weather. I put a blanket down in the backyard, and we enjoyed a warm afternoon!

















Even LJ decided it was nice enough to take a little snooze outside!!! Isn't he just adorable!



Now, this next picture shouldn't surprise really anyone. :) My little guy has shown quite the interest in the piano, and I love that he will take off when I'm trying to change him and head straight for it! He loves to change the sounds and different beats... Such a little musically inclined stud!!! I love it!




Ahhh - the joys of watching him learn to walk better and better each day!




As part of the changes throughout March, I decided to spend some time in a "Mommy and Me" class. We tried out Little Gym, where they take the "Little Birds" through very basic gymnastic/developmental exercises... LJ had a blast along with the other kids around. They played and climbed on/through/over everything available - and they even got to spend some time chasing bubbles!!! It was a good afternoon to spend with my main little man. And I'm glad that I am able to redirect some things in my life to have more time and focus more on being a mom.


































Good idea or Bad idea?!




Roller bladding with a kiddo strapped to your back.... :) HAHAHAHA - it was only over to Hollie and TJ's house and back to mine... And LJ seemed to enjoy himself for the most part!
