Easter 2013

We decided at the last minute to have Easter at our house instead of in NWA.  Melissa, Miranda and Avery drove up on Friday and arrived around 1:30 and Mim and Mike arrived shortly thereafter.  Phillip was still in NWA (he had gone up for  Bikes, Books and BarBQ at the boy's school the night before) and was wheeling and dealing for a new truck on Friday.  He didn't get in until almost 10 pm.

Although we LOVE the excitement that comes with all of the Pitts boys, we did enjoy a little quiet time to visit before their arrival.

Mim holding Avery for the first time....

The Pitts boys were so excited to see their cousin.  She was already

sleeping by the time they got in, but they tip-toed quietly into her room

to get a look and then they wanted to hold her first thing Saturday morning.

We had our Easter-Egg hunt and dinner on Saturday because

Miranda and Avery had to get back to NWA.  We had to get

busy and dye eggs Saturday morning!

Miss Avery was all dolled-up for pictures today in her 

smocked Easter outfit and bow in her hair!

I wanted a picture of all FOUR of my grandchildren....

it was like trying to get a posed picture of ants!  :)

Jayden wanted a picture of just him and Avery (he is a

natural with her BTW)

Last time Evan saw Avery, he didn't want to have

much to do with her, but he wanted a picture this time. 

Funny thing...as soon as the picture was taken, he jumped up and

left Avery.  Jayden however, slid in as she was falling over and 

caught her....

Great Uncle Mike and Avery:

Avery had some company today.  Pam got to hold her for a few minutes....

Richard....

Great Uncle Herb and Nancy stopped by too....

After all of the visitors, we had our Easter Dinner and then Miranda and

Avery had to head back to NWA.   I know that Avery was exhausted

after all of the excitement!  

But not the Pitts Boys!  After dinner, they got comfy and put on

their rain boots since it had been raining and we headed out 

to hunt eggs...

After hunting eggs, Mim and Mike headed back to Shreveport.

They were able to dodge most of the bad weather around us.

Evan took a bath in my room Saturday night.  He is a curious little boy....he

must have asked me 100 questions....  

 Thank goodness the Easter Bunny was able to find the Pitts boys 

this year!  They were treated to lots of candy in their baskets, but he

also hid some eggs in the front yard.

Checking out their loot....

The Pitts family headed to Sheridan....it was another great holiday...Love my Family!

Avery's 2 month Checkup

We changed our plans at the last minute and stayed in Arkansas for Spring Break.  Phillip had been at the lake house for several days working on the screened porch (which is looking fantastic BTW) and I went up on Wednesday.  Since Avery had her two month checkup on Thursday, I went along.

Miss Avery is being weighed....she doesn't mind because she is tall and skinny :)

I love this picture, snuggled up to her Mommy who will keep her safe from all bad things....

She is showing off for the doctor here....he was amazed at her strength!

Still snuggling up to her Mommy...she doesn't know yet that Mommy

brought her here to get SHOTS!

Awww...so sweet and innocent....notice the syringes in the background....

This stuff is pretty good....

WHAT WAS THAT???

Mommy steps in to make it all better....

Men at work ....

Playing with Legos and Lincoln logs

We started out playing by the dock, but Pop had to do some welding so we moved inside.

At the lake....

Kyler, Evan and Melissa spent the night with us at the lake on Friday night while Jayden and Kerry were at the Embassy Suites for Jayden's birthday party.  As always, the boys played with legos....

Phillip came up on Thursday so that he could haul the wood flooring for the new screened porch.  I had to teach Thursday night, so I drove up after class....left LR at 8:45!  I spent the day Friday with Miranda and Avery....I needed some cuddle time with little Miss Avery!

We had a good weekend hanging out in NWA.  I stopped by Pop Williams Elementary and had lunch with Evan and Kyler and then headed to Jayden's school to have lunch with him before heading back to Arkadelphia.
