Easter: Part II

Since Lucas and Jacob had spent the last part of the week at my parents we took their Easter baskets over there. They were very excited when we got there wanting to know whether we brought their baskets with us or not.


I made them sit on the porch and close their eyes while Daddy went outside and got their baskets.



Jacob was as excited as Lucas if not more about the High School Musical 3 movie. They've been asking for it since the day it came out in theaters.


This is one of those phlat balls. You can squeeze it flat and it pops open at any time into a ball. Jacob saw a commercial for one on tv and just had to have it. I couldn't figure out how it works so I had to peek inside...there's a suction cup in there for those of you who are curious :)




Caleb for some reason got very interested in my parents cat while we were there. It was very funny to watch him..he got down on the floor below Rhett's level and kept saying.."Hi Rhett...Hi"


Allie was in an odd mood throughout the afternoon. She's very shy around those that she doesn't see on a daily basis..whether it's family or not. My dad has a very deep voice and for some reason it always shocks her and she busts out in uncontrollable sobs. She got to the point where she just put her head down and stayed there. I tell my dad the day will come when she won't be able to get enough of them and then he'll want her to go home!

Snippets

This is what we saw the last night we were in Gatlinburg. I never could get very good pictures of the scenery because it rained all day the first day and the second the sun never really came out for a sunrise. So this is what I got....still absolutely gorgeous..looking at it right now makes me want to go back.



My precious princess! Here she is all bundled up at Nascar Speedpark. I just love this little bundle!



I can't put into words what this picture means to me. This is my dad and he is truly my hero. He and I have been through the ringer together through the years but amazingly we have come out to be such good friends. This man means more to me than I can verbalize. I cherish this picture!!!





This is sooo cool! It's called the Cool School Computer made by Fisher Price and it connects to my computer. I got it for Jacob to practice his letters more at home since he will be at kindergarten next and I really don't feel as though he is getting enough of it at school(that's another post for later) There are several stations they can go to on the computer such as music,art,numbers,letters and they can even take field trips on it. The coolest thing is that it has a pad off to the side that you can put templates of the letters under and trace them...Get this though...it shows up on the computer screen so that they can see what they are doing and how their letters look. I just think this is the coolest thing!

Nothing particular to post about today so this was just a bunch of snippets I had sitting aside. I am going to get my Halloween pics loaded onto my computer sometime today...I'm a horrible mother that I haven't done that yet. Those are to come soon!

He's mastered it!!!

While we were in Gatlinburg we had a good bit of town time in the cabin which as all of you know that have children can be hair pulling and pure torture at some points. My dad taught Lucas how to play solitaire while we were there and it was ALL Lucas did the entire time. The second he got up in the mornings he was sitting at the table playing until the minute he went to bed at night. He won his first game while we were there too and it was absolutely amazing to watch he and my dad when he won it!!!! They were giddy just like two little school kids!! I'll always remember that moment between the two of them!
