..easter..

We had a lovely Easter weekend, beautiful weather, good food, spent with great friends.

Saturday we got together with a big group of friends for a yummy breakfast followed by a classic Easter egg hunt. I love watching the kids eyes light up with pure excitement as they frantically run around filling their Easter baskets. I cant wait to see Colter like that, maybe next year!! Dyeing Easter eggs might be one of my most favorite traditions, I'm not sure why but I LOVE it!!! I love all the bright colors, and lets be honest I love deviled eggs!!  Landon never ceases to amaze me he filled our basket with all my favorite chocolates, {love seasonal candy} taught the most amazing lesson in church to our youth, and then to top if off made the most delicious dinner

 {roast, potatoes, veggies, salads, rolls, and even mini cream cheese lemon pies} It really was perfect.

I love Easter, all of the traditions, the time of year, the smell of the blossoms, and the colors. I am so grateful for my family, all of them. I am especially grateful for Landon for his amazing example and for our sweet baby boy Colter, what a joy he is in our lives. And most of all I am grateful for my Savior, without Him non of this would be possible, and through Him everything is possible.

HAPPY EASTER

EASTER SUNDAY

S.I.X. M.O.N.T.H.S.

 They aren't kidding when they say "they grow up in a blink of an eye" I have loved every stage so far, but this one is really fun. Colters little personality is really starting to come out. 

- He sure knows his momma and dad, our voices and faces {and we love it!!!} 

- He laughs and pulls faces, happy and sad. hums, eeeee, blabs, lots of noises

- He doesn't like to be left alone in the room {makes it really fun trying to get anything done}

- He can SIT UP like a champ, and loves play with his toys.

- Toes, fingers, toys, everything goes into his mouth.

- Still teething... who knows when they will actually pop up, lots of drool.

- He is getting pretty good at eating with a spoon {cereal, apples, sweet potatoes}

   but he really likes what ever we are eating, he loves strawberries and avocado.

- His hair is really starting to fill in, with a few hair cuts to even things out.

- He is still in size two diapers

- And moving onto 6-9 month clothes

- He sleeps pretty good at night. down around 8:30 wakes up once or twice 

  {trying to cut the twice} and then wakes at 8-8:30 sometimes even 9.   

- Happiest boy first thing in the morning. Always greets you with a huge smile. 

- He doesn't spit up AS much, just a little.

- He still has very sensitive skin. {rx cream in the morning eucerin cream at night}

 Colter is the light of our lives. He makes me so HAPPY every single day, even when he is a little stinker and wont let me put him down. I've thrown all expectations of getting anything done during the day out the window....I'm just savoring every minute I have with this sweet baby boy.

The best six months ever!!

{there were so many good pictures it was hard to choose just a few}

 this smile melts my heart
