Mother's Day 2014

I think this was by far the best Mother's Day! Ford is old enough now to understand celebrating others! We spent Saturday going on a hike and Ford did great!
Sunday we went to Church and had a picnic at the Plaza!


 
I am so blessed this little boy calls me Mommy! I am one lucky Mama!

 
We got to see another new mama at the park with all her babies!

 
It was a perfect day!

Texas

On April 29th my sweet Gram went home to be with Jesus. She lived a full and happy life of 93 years! She was always dressed to the 9's, had her hair "set" every week at the beauty shop, and never left the house without her "face on"! She was as sweet as they come, hilarious (especially in her old age), and loved her family to the fullest! We will miss her terribly, but find peace in knowing she is no longer in pain and made new in heaven!
 
This was the last time that I saw her at Christmas, and I am so happy I caught this moment between her and Ford. He was taking a long time to warm up to her, and when he finally did he ran up and gave her a big hug! It made her day! So happy I caught this sweet moment!
 
We stayed for a few days and spent them hanging out by the pool!













 
All the girls!

 
We were so happy to see Pawpaw walking again after his accident! Ford wanted to sit inside with him and show him his games on the iPad! So sweet!

Easter 2014

We had a great Easter full of fun and lots of Easter Egg hunts! We did our best to talk to Ford about what Easter really means and what Jesus did for us, but at 2 and a half it's a lot to take in! We spent Saturday at the Plaza for a huge Easter egg hunt! I wasn't sure if Ford was going to be into it or not, but as soon as they said "Go!", he was off and grabbing as many eggs as he could!
 


 
 
Of course he didn't like any of the candy, but we gave it a shot!





 
Our next big surprise was that he LOVED the Easter Bunny and talked about him for days! A few months makes a huge difference seeing as our visit to Santa was filled with terror and tears! 
 
On Sunday we went to Church followed by another Easter egg hunt!


 

 
So handsome in his Easter outfit!





 
Egg hunt #2

 
After church we drove to Sacramento to have lunch at Erik's sister's house, and then we had egg hunt #3!!
