Easter 2011!

 Easter Sunday...

Jacob was only 4 days old - so Jonathan took Benjamin and Micah to church.  My poor Mom was sick - so she hung out in her room until my Dad, Laura and Daniel came to see the baby and take her back home!  Needless to say - we had left over pizza for Easter dinner - but no one complained!

One of my favorite pictures...

Aunt Laura holding Jacob for the first time...

 Not a favorite - but our 2011 family Easter picture...

baby Jacob on Easter morning...

the Easter Bunny usually comes on Saturday - but since Jacob wasn't home from the hospital yet - he waited and came while everyone was at church!

 Micah checking out the Easter baskets...

Poppy holding Jacob for the first time!

Uncle Daniel holding little Jacob...

Both boys at the Easter baskets...

 Another FAVORITE Easter picture!

Love this new little guy!  Once they FINALLY got my IV in and got the contractions going... I opted for the epidural!  Unfortunately - I felt sick pretty much the WHOLE labor and delivery but thankfully had him within about 5 hours from start to finish!  He is beautiful and such a sweet TINY little one!  We love him!!

February and March Happenings 2011!

So here's a fun little shot that Benjamin took of Micah and me on Valentine's Day...
7 months pregnant!

We took a fun little trip to NASHVILLE to go to the Temple - since it has been closed and still will be for a few more months!  We were able to go to the Parthenon...

 

Go out for ice cream after lunch...

 

Go to the Bealle Meade Plantation (and it was OH so COLD!!)

Here are the boys at the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame...

The boys in front of an awesome ENGINE near the Parthenon...

and I LOVED this shot ... both boys REALLY wanted Jonathan to carry them - what a GREAT DAD!

And here is where the boys spent MOST of their days in March (and APRIL!)  They dug and dug and dug looking for any kind of bugs or ants they could catch!

Tyson fits RIGHT in when it comes to bug digging!!

"Spring Break" ...

We took a little trip to Savannah for Spring Break on our way to cousin Liam's baby blessing! The boys LOVED playing at the beach!

We also enjoyed eating along River Street and seeing an awesome SHIP!

Fun little trip before our little guy comes!
