Saturday morning we got up early and headed up to the church for the little kids Easter egg hunt, ryley came with us to help out with peyton, (since bailey had volleyball pictures scheduled at the same time) and I knew during the hunt with hundreds of kids and adults running around there was no way I could keep an eye on brody and peyton running all over, so it worked out great.. big brother helped peyton get a TON of candy!!!

Brody LOVED it, he had a blast running around picking candy and eggs up… (and trying to eat them as soon as he picked them up)

then it was time to head home for some lunch and get ready to color our Easter eggs..of course the girls had fun they spent over an hour making them pretty… brody lasted about 3 minutes, after he dunked one little egg in the dye, he kept wanting to eat the egg or throw it like a ball ….lol

INSTEAD OF THE EASTER BUNNY…

Today little man and I went and run errands while the other kids were in school, shopping, lunch and to the mall to see the Easter bunny…. sadly they wouldn’t let me use my own camera (they used to) and I was NOT about to pay $15 for a small pic… just silly, so baby love didn’t get to sit on his lap but he did get to see him from a distance and waved to him… maybe next year momma can find an Easter bunny somewhere else where I can take a pic myself.. but since brody was dressed cute, I decided to snap some pics of him playing outside instead!

IDENTITY CRISIS?!

Brody had fun pushing Peyton’s baby doll stroller around the house today… even got mad when peyton went to take it from him… so why not put on a princess tiara?!…. he didn’t mind that at all either : )

BRODY’S FIRST SWIMMING LESSON

Tonight we headed over to the Kroc center for Brody’s first swimming lesson, there were about 8 other babies some younger and a few older than brody waiting to hop in the water and “learn to swim” !!

It was so fun to work with him on blowing bubbles, kicking and "scooping" the water. He was a pretty good student (he did try to get out of the pool a few times about half way through and kept drinking the water) I hope that he learns a little more with each lesson!

I think Momma was just as excited as Brody...

Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick...I think I said it 1,000 times...

he's just thinking I'm crazy!...

All dried off and extra sleepy...
