Crawling Easter Bunnies!?!

Easter has come and gone, but not without a lot of egg hunting and a ton of family time! We celebrated Easter on Saturday with the Casons at Laurie and Lamar's house (David's Daddy and Step-Mom) and had the annual grown-up kid (if you can call us that) egg hunt. This consists of the older folks hiding eggs, and by hiding I mean making the eggs disappear, and laughing at all of us trying to find them. Every so often we take a count and as is the fashion, there are always missing eggs because those old-folks can't remember where they hid all of the eggs! Alicia (David's sister) and I decided that next year we need to hide the eggs for the old-folks so that we can laugh at them trying to find them hahaha.
On Easter Sunday, Shay and I watched church on the Catholic channel because I did not set the alarm for the right time (shame on me). However, I must say that I think sometimes Shay is channeling my Grammy (who passed away almost 2 years ago) because as did my Grammy, Shay could not get enough of that Catholic channel and she eats ketchup on everything. For lunch we headed to my grandparents, B & Papa Pat's house in Bushnell and got to visit with them and my parents, Becca (my sister), my Aunt Deb and Uncle Dale (my dad's brother), my cousins Kylee, Case, Justin and Jonathan and his fiance Anita. And of course, this was rounded out with the customary easter egg hunt which Shay thoroughly enjoyed! When we left Bushnell, we made our way to David's Mom and Step-Dad's house for a wonderful supper and, you guessed it, another egg hunt. Shay said that while she did enjoy hunting eggs, she was 'pooped out.' Ethan didn't seem to mind any of the festivities one bit because he got to be held the majority of the day by all of his loving family :).

Tomi (my cousin) also snapped a few pictures of a mostly uncooperative Shay and a mostly happy Ethan. Nonetheless, they turned out wonderful:

Besides Easter, it seems like so much goes on in our lives and we are so blessed to have a wonderful and supportive family! Ethan is techincally crawling, although crawl is not the optimum word to describe what it is that he does. He sort-of 'army crawls' and it is hilarious...his modified crawl certainly does not keep him from going places. Shay is still enrolled in dance class and loves every minute of it. She is not the most graceful ballerina (sad to say I think she might have inherited that from me) but what she does not have in grace she certainly makes up for it with perseverance. She is determined to do everything perfectly!

On another note, I have been trying to finish my college education for a while now and am down to two more classes! I will graduate in August and I cannot wait! I was also inducted into the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honors Society and am very proud to say that I will graduate with a 4.0 (that is if I make A'a in my next two classes)!

Until next time.....
