Easter Weekend!
We had a wonderful Easter Weekend and Day filled with fun, friends, family and faith! As you saw on Friday we colored Easter eggs with Aunt Sarah and Hunter. 
On Saturday we joined Aunt Sarah and Hunter for breakfast and then we went to a community Easter Egg Hunt at Gilbert High School.
Wendy (Emmalee's babysitter) and her daughters Heavin and Hailey met us there for some fun! It was a beautiful day (a little warm) but we all had a wonderful time. 
As you can see they even had bouncies - one was just the right size for Emmalee, she did not want to leave once she figured out it was okay to bounce. She has been in them before but it has been with her older brothers - this time she was on her own.
Emmalee awoke to find the Easter Bunny had delivered an Easter basket in her room. Before we got her out of her bed I kept asking her if the Easter Bunny had come to visit and she kept telling me "No" When we picked her up out of her bed she saw the basket, she looked at it a couple of times and then smiled at Rob and I and said "More Pease" 
- I don't know how she knew it was something to eat but she did. 
Daddy gave her a whole peanut butter chocolate egg and she loved every bite of it.
Papa Jim, Nana Phyllis came over and helped cook and clean.
Kelly (my cousin on my Mom's side of the family) and her husband Justin along with one of our best friends - Dennis and the boys joined us for dinner- We had nine in all. It was a very nice day, we had dinner outside on the back patio - the weather was wonderful! I have to say the Ham turned out fantastic. We hope you had a wonderful Easter!!!

Coloring Easter Eggs!!!
Friday, March 21st Hunter and Aunt Sarah came over and brought Emmalee an Easter Basket and we colored Easter Eggs. Hunter had to assist Emmalee in finding her Easter Basket, she was not sure what to do with it. Once she figured out it was for her she really enjoyed it. 
We then decided to color Easter Eggs.... again Emmalee was not sure what to do but soon figured it out.
Look at all of the pretty colors Mom - she even decided that she and I needed to be colored Blue! 
Emmalee's favorite color was whatever color she could get her hands on. Hunter did a wonderful job of mixing colors and then putting sticker eyes on the eggs. 
Papa Jim even joined us and wore a few colors. 
Emmalee really wanted to eat the colors - she saw the spoons we were using and thought they meant she could eat. Papa Jim made sure Emmalee's tongue did not turn colors!
All of our beautiful Easter Eggs! Now we just have to wait for the Easter Egg Hunt!!!
After we colored Easter Eggs, We got the bubbles out and had some fun!!!!
Papa Jim teaching Hunter and Emmalee how to blow big bubbles!

Walking in my brothers shoes
Talk about having large shoes to fill. Emmalee has a shoe fetish (she does not get this from me, but from her cousin Jenna)
Emmalee loves to put on shoes and try and walk around. 
Josh wears a size 10 - 11 shoe so as you can see she has some room to grow!!!!

Bubbles!!!!
I spent some time playing with my brother Bradley - He was having a lot of fun playing with bubbles!!! 
Emmalee thought the bubbles were great but could not understand why she could not catch them. 
Love all!
Josh's birthday!
We had dinner at Bass Pro Shops - Restaurant and then walked around the store. When we got home we had some cake and ice cream and Josh was allowed to open his presents. The second picutre is a metal framed skate boarder. We hope you had a great birthday Josh!
