HoPpY Easter!!!

We have been busy having some fun this past month but for starters a little update on Ryker's surgery. He has recovered so well! This past monday marked his 2 week mark and I was able to take off the remaining tape strips. The scar looks a lot better than I had ever imagined! He had about 15-20 stitches and they were the disolvable ones so they are all gone! Its amazing the things these drs can do these days, Im so grateful for them!
Besides Rykers surgery we have been able to have some fun too! Tonight we took Ryker and our friends the Bells met us down at the mall to have our kiddos sit on the easter bunnys lap. Ryker did so good-he didnt even cry! Next year may be a different story! But we sure had fun posing them with the bunny and with the decoartions they had sitting the bunny station.
I've decided that every other week Im going to plan an AdVeNtUrE DaY for Ryker and friends! So if any of you would like to join us please let me know...more the merrier! The first one was last Wednesday and we headed to Gardner Village to walk the Jordan Parkway and hang out for Gardner Village for a few hours. It was a lot of fun to get out and have some adult conversation while Ryker enjoyed being outside and enjoyed watching the ducks!
On another day my mom and I decided to take Ryker and my nephews to Discovery Gateway. The kids loved it, but by the time we left we were all exhausted!
One of the many reasons that I love this time of year is to get together with family to do our yearly tradition of dying easter eggs. This year I was even more excited to do this because it was Rykers first time dying eggs! He had a fun time trying to eat the hard boil eggs and dropping and cracking them :) The kids had fun putting on bunny ears and smiling big for the camera!
I cant believe how big my little munchkin is getting! Everyday is such an adventure with him! We have so much fun together! He is at such a fun age! He can sit up all by himself, smiles and giggles all day long...which in return allows me to smile right along with him, says dadadada...(sad day that was :) ), loves jumping in his jumping johnny, still loves his tubbies and LoVes to get down and play play play! Very active little dude he already is! I feel so privledged to be his mom!

Heather, is is so adorable!! I can't believe how fast they grow - tear. Aubrielle is at the 12 week mark next week and I'm thinking...that's when I got to start saying months...it just goes by fast! Hopefully we'll be able to join you guys on the fun in the next week or so - let us know your next adventure. The weather keeps playing tricks on us so it's good you are doing a lot of indoor things. Can't wait - it will be so fun. Happy Easter!!
