Eggs AWAY!!!!!

The famous words spoken by Ethan the whole time we were dying eggs "Eggs Away!"...and for about a week after Easter too. He loved these eggs like they were his babies, he was very protective of them and even wanted to take a bath with them and go to bed with them. Silly Boy. Ethan you are so fun to talk to and listen to. Sometimes I just watch you and my heart smiles and my eyes well up. Daddy/Drew, hehe and I are SO proud of you.

I got the wisk idea from Pintrest. This way the little ones can help without using that lame little tool they give you in the box. It worked swimmingly!



He had so much fun. It was way past cranky pants bed time AKA Johnny so he wasn't able to join in the festivities..next year:)



A little bit of decorating yourself never hurt either:)





Kisses for the egg.....

and hugs for the egg.

Just the four of us.

These Dogs..These kids..what more do I need to say. Its a zoo over here and I love every second of it!


Dougie and Dewie and such good dogs for people with children . They love to play, eat, sleep and love on everyone. Ethan loves to wrestle with Dougie because Dougie just lays there .





These dogs are so ugly they are cute..doesn't make any sense right?

They look like weirdos to me though. Drew loves these two probably more than me ;)



Handsome.

Perfect.

Silly.

Sweet.

Oh don't forget about Ethan's other BFF.Pipi!

Awhhh Wubbies.

Old man.



Look at Dougie's face haha..He could care less what Ethan is doing as long as he gets his belly semi touched in the process.



Friends.

Okay, now Johnny and Dougie lean to your right...right there, you got it! :)

Love.

Easter Babes

Here are my Easter Babies!

I love their outfits... they look so dang cute.

Drew was sick on Easter so he didn't get to join in on the festivities with us:( Very disappointing that he wasn't there. I really wanted to get a family picture in G.G's yard. We all had coordinating clothes so I'm kinda bummed. I'm also sick now :( Boo. I think we all are a bit under the weather, runny noses, cough and sore throat.






Handsome Monkey! I love his belt it makes him look so grown up though :(

Everyone is in this picture except Eloise. I do have another one with her in it that I forgot to post. I can't forget about Ethan's BFF:) He calls her " my Eloise" :)

Ethan, Zack holding Declan, Avery, Emmy, Violet, Logan, Isaiah, Lukey, Gloria and Johnny. All these kiddos are G.G's great grand kids!

Ethan and Isaiah had plans of their own and none of them included stopping for any photo ops that day :)

G.G draws a Bugs Bunny every Easter . She used to work for Warner Brothers in California when she was younger drawing cells for cartoons..pretty cool huh? I think G.G is the most amazing grandma and we are so lucky to have her. Love you G.G

Silly Boy.

All the kids like to play upstairs in one of G.G's spare bedrooms.There are dolls and games and tons of imagination up there on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas .

This picture was taken at church breakfast . Don't you just love that bow tie:) Before my best friend Danielle died she showed me a picture of her brother Andy when he was younger wearing a bow tie and she said " when I have boys that's all they are going to be wearing is bow ties, you have to get Ethan one for Christmas, if you don't I will!" We'll she passed away in September so she didn't make it to December to see the bow tie but you bet your butt I had Ethan wear one for her:) Now I have Johnny wearing one too! They are so dang cute, she would of loved it.



This is how Johnny looks at the majority of people. Drew calls it his mean mug. You should of seen the way he looked at his Uncle Bill at Easter . He gave him a good "Johnny stare down" .


Hope everyone had a good Easter!

Town and County Club

This year for Easter G.G invited us to the Town and Country Club for an Easter party!!!

We did this for Christmas too but I haven't even blogged about Christmas yet ..what a bad blogger mommy I am . I feel guilty because it was Johnny's first Christmas, but I'll get there!

Anyways, the Easter Bunny and The Easter Chicken were there to dance and take pictures with all the kiddos. I thought Ethan might of been afraid of them because he did not like Chuckie Cheese but he actually danced and hugged both of them. Here he is doing the limbo! He was going the opposite direction of the limbo line but hey I tell my kids to be leaders not followers right?! :P Silly boy.


I'll take any picture I can at this point with this fast, little Monkey.

G.G and Johnny! Isn't she beautiful! I hope I'm as beautiful as her when I'm almost 90.

" Do the bunny hop! Hop! Hop! Hop!"

Ethan was born to do the bunny hop!

Look at that air hes getting!

Johnny and I!



Ethan on his egg hunt!

Bam Bam and Ethan :) He loved the pony ride.

Look at that sweet, chubby face.xoxox

They had a petting zoo with bunnys, baby chickens, ducklings, a lamb and a goat. So much fun!

Kisses for the bunny!

I'm pretty sure there will be a bunny at the Nelson house in the future. Our daddy is a sucker for a cute animal:) Plus he had bunnies when he was younger and I kinda like them too.
