Easter

We were so blessed to be able to spend Easter morning with some friends and their kids. We had our ham dinner at lunch time, did our Easter egg hunt, and then went to church. The weather was a little chilly, but we had so much fun with the everyone. We missed our family, but were able to talk with them via webcam and enjoy them. Hope everyone else had a good Easter.

And they are off!!!

JD started at one end and worked his way around the yard

I just love this pic with how deep in thought and cute he looks

The Bounty!

Egg Coloring

So, this was our first time coloring eggs with JD. He came down from his nap/quiet time and found the table with all sorts of cups with colored fluid in them. He was very excited! He had alot of fun coloring the eggs with daddy. I took pics most of the time. Can't wait for tomorrow for him to wear his cute outfit!

Colorful Fun!

Look at all those pretty eggs!

He was very excited to eat an egg

And he thought they were awesome!

Popcorn Popping!

Spring if here for us! The trees just started to blossom here this last week. Some are starting to lose the flowers and starting to get leaves, so I knew I had to hurry and get some pics of the trees. These are just a few of the blossoms happening right in our apartment complex. They smell good and are so pretty!

New Orders!!!

Just a quick update, Reed got his new orders today. By either November or December, we will be moving again. This time, we are heading to.... Nellis AFB, NV!! Yes, it's true!! We are coming back out west to live in Las Vegas, NV!! We are both very excited about it, and the orders helped give Reed a little nudge towards re-enlisting! We can't wait to get out there and be close to our families once again! YAY!!!!

Potty Training Reward

We have been enduring potty training. JD went a week without any accidents. So, we took him up to Strasburg, PA to the railroad station to see the train. He was so excited to be there! We made it a weekend, staying in Lancaster, PA. We went to the Amish community to visit their farmers market, bake shops, and the best restaurant ever Good N' Plenty. That place has the best food ever. We did get some snow one morning and it was a very cold weekend, but we had so much fun on our little vacation!

Here comes the train!

JD was very excited to ride the train

This was JDs reaction when the ride was over. He just had so much fun!

Quick as a Cricket

These past couple weeks, we have been doing the potty training thing. I have found that if I sit by JD and read him a book, he responds really well to it. One of the books we have been reading has been "Quick as a Cricket". One day, my smart little guy surprised me and started to read along with me. Now, he reads this book to me. I had to get it on video cause I just thought that it was so cute! What can I say, my little guy amazes me!

Let it Snow!

We got home at around 9:00 pm on the 26th of January. Got home, got JD to bed, and got the essentials unpacked for the night. The next morning, JD and I looked out the window to see a winter wonderland. JD was so excited to see snow and wanted to go play before having breakfast. I was dreading going outside in the cold. I am not a big fan of snow, especially IF I have to drive in it. That's the nice thing about having only one car, my chances of driving in it are very slim! Anyway, JD had so much fun being out in the snow. What a great thing to come home to!

If all the snowflakes...

were candy bars and milkshakes...

Oh, what a snow that would be!
