Easter

The Easter bunny made an early appearance before the kids got out of bed and set up some great baskets for the kids. I was just as excited to see their faces when they saw the baskets. 

 

As usual, Hadley woke up a few hours before Hudson and knowing we would be pushing it to get ready for church we decided to let Hadley open her stuff up while Hudson slept. That way we would have plenty of time to get her a bath and dressed for Easter service.

Pretty excited about all her goodies!

Hudson woke up only about 30 minutes before it was time to leave. He sleepily came down the stairs to a full basket of toys which pepped him up for a bit. He wasn't too into pictures but did let Hadley help him open everything up.

But unfortunately, we soon found out why Hudson slept so long and didn't show a ton of excitement. He had been coughing a bit and not feeling great for the past couple days but it only got worse that morning. He wouldn't move off the couch and his eyes just looked "sick." We decided to spare the other families and I stayed home with him while Matt took Hadley to church with all the Hollomans. Afterwards, they both went over to Lolly and Pops house for an Easter lunch. Poor Hudson hung out on the couch resting and I enjoyed a little cuddle time with him. The entire day went about like this and we are hoping for a quick healing!

The closest thing to an Easter pic that I could get of the two kids:

 

Easter Pics

Matt had plans to play golf with some friends and I had heard about this photographer that was doing Easter mini session pictures on her land so I signed the kids up. They were actually really excited since they heard there were going to be live bunnies and baby chicks. Unfortunately, I had no idea it would take us almost an hour to get to her place! And it was beyond windy as well. Thankfully, the lady had some helpers to block the wind and the pictures still turned out pretty cute. Hudson has just started this phase of giving us a really fake smile when we ask for one so some of the pictures really make me laugh. Both kids loved the bunny and were asking for one the entire way home. 

Father/Daughter dance, year 2

Hadley had her second father/daughter dance and was even more excited than last year. She helped me pick out her dress and since she wore pink last year she was excited to find a blue one this year. She also helped me pick out which shirt her daddy should wear to match her. We had a fun morning of soccer and a birthday party and then I took her for a special trip to Blo where she got her hair fixed for the dance. She has wanted to get her hair done there ever since I got mine done for a wedding a couple months back. So I booked the appointment and went straight there after the birthday party. She loved getting her hair washed and was all smiles as the lady curled her hair. 

All dressed and ready so I was able to take a few pictures of her while we waited for daddy to finish up. She is growing up so fast but love these moments of her cherishing her time with her daddy.



These two have such a special bond and although Hadley loves to be right by my side most of the time, I know her daddy has such a special place in her heart. She just lights up when they spend time together and loves every single compliment she ever gets from him.

Hadley and her best friend in the neighborhood, Charlotte. Matt sent me a text about an hour after they got there and said that Hadley and Charlotte were tearing up the dance floor. Apparently, they were stealing the show and holding their own with all the big girls!



CCS Spring Program

Year two of our spring school program and I loved it just as much as last year! Hearing these sweet kids voices singing the Christian songs they have learned all year is amazing. They all have so much fun, sing their hearts out, and get into all the motions. And being at a school that wears uniforms they are all pretty excited to dress up in regular clothes as well. 

Hadley and I went up to the school a little early so that I could get a good seat and because she was ready and bored at home. Before we went inside I took a couple pictures of my growing girl in the car. She wasn't thrilled and just wanted to go in but she took it upon herself to throw in some silly pics and that made it a little better. 

Once inside she quickly found her friends and I didn't see much more of her. Here is Hadley and Charlotte. Since moving in the neighborhood we see Charlotte ALOT and they are becoming pretty great buddies!

Kate, Charlotte, and Hadley.

Hadley with her two favorite boys in her class, Jackson and Sebby.

Who would have ever thought that Hadley would be on the back row because she is one of the tallest?!? It is amazing to me that out of all my highschool friends she is the oldest yet the shortest. And at Crossings she is the second tallest girl in her class. I was still able to get a couple cute pictures of her singing her very best and getting into the motions.

After Hadley sang we stayed for Peytons program while Matt went to the Thunder game.

Hadley loves her cousin, Buck! She hugs all over him all the time and he is pretty crazy about her too.

An attempt at getting a pic of all the cousins...successful for a few of them at least. Hudson was having a bit of a meltdown at this point and just wanted to roll around on the floor instead.

We love you Hadley and are so proud of how well you have done in Kindergarten this year!
