Easter weekend

Easter weekend was filled with fun, family, and sickness!  We went to Ryne's soccer game on Thursday night.  As soon as we got home Jeremy had to go work a hospital in-service.  I started feeling sick on the way home.  Somehow I managed to get the girls fed, bathed, and in bed before I got sick.  The next 8 hours were BRUTAL!  I was throwing up every 15-20 minutes.  I was finally able to go to sleep around 4am.  I got up to nurse Reese at 8am and then went straight back to bed until the next time I needed to feed her.  We had planned to leave for Camden early so we could stop in LR to see some friends.  Needless to say that didn't happen!  We were able to make the trip but didn't even leave or house until 5pm.  I pretty much slept in the car so it wasn't too bad.  Reese did awesome on the way there!  I think she knew I couldn't climb in the back with her in my current condition so she was a big girl!  :)  The way home was a completely different story!  ha!

Once we got to my parents we pretty much went straight to bed.  The next day was filled with egg dying, Easter egg hunts, and family time.  The kids had a great time playing!  Ryne found the "golden" egg and she was SO excited about that.  She wanted to take it (the egg and it's contents - candy and $5) to church to give to Jesus...precious!  We hung out as long as we could Saturday before heading back home.  We LOVE our church and really wanted to spend Easter at our home church.  The ride home was rough though because poor Reese just was not feeling it.  She got so upset a couple of times that we had to pull over and get her out for awhile.  She was so happy to get out of the car once we got home.

We got back pretty late Saturday night and pretty much crashed when we got home.  The next morning the girls woke up excited to see what the Easter bunny had left them!

 Ryne liked Reese's toy the best and Reese kept trying to get to Ryne's basket!  ha!

 After enjoying the Easter baskets we got ready for church.  Reese was taking a nap so I snapped a couple pictures of just Ryne outside.  Can I just mention that it is very hard to find an Easter dress without buttons and zippers!  We did it though!

 After we got Reese up and dressed we took a couple more if the girls together.  Poor Reese wasn't happy that she was woken up.  I think she was starting to feel bad.  :(

LOVE these sweet sisters!

After that we headed to church to celebrate our risen Saviour!  The rest of the day was spent relaxing and then going to a friend's house for an Easter dinner.  It was a great day!

The next morning Jeremy woke up feeling sick and ended up throwing up pretty much all day.  :(  Then Reese started running fever and coughing.  It was a rough start to the week to say the least!  Thankfully everyone seems well now!  :)

Peter Cottontail...

My cousin Sarah invited us to take pictures with their rabbit!  We met at Battlefield park and let the girls take turns with their cute little bunny!  It was an interesting evening filled with a fall off stairs, bubbles dumped on heads, a baby who was not happy to be in grass, a backwards fall out of a chair, and a broken bunny leg!  The bunny had broken its leg earlier that day so we did our best to be so careful with it.  Thankfully he seems to be on the mend!  Needless to say it is a day we will remember! Thankfully we got some cute pictures and we had a blast hanging out with the Hayes!

Do you see the tears in her eyes?!  Poor Reese!

Ryne adored this bunny!

Ryne's not looking...

Reese's eyes are closed...

Ryne's not looking...

Neither are looking!  Oh well!

Halli is so cute with Reese!  She is going to make an awesome big sister!  ;)

It was a fun evening with the Hayes family!

Reese is 9 months old!

It is hard to believe that our baby girl has been with us 3/4 of a year!  It is going by so fast and she is growing up too quickly!

She loves to stick her tongue out now! 

She is still oh so happy!  She just lights up when you talk to her...it's precious! She now has 2 teeth and they are in pretty good!  She has mastered the wave and loves to wave bye...all.the.time!  It's so cute because she gets so tickled about it.  If you say "yay Reese" she will raise her hands above her head like she is cheering.  Training our little cheerleader early!  :) She is still a good sleeper and very rarely wakes up in the middle of the night.  She sleeps about 11 hours at night and takes 2 naps about an hour each during the day.  Still no crawling, but I am so okay with that!  She is acting more interested in it though so I am sure she will take off soon.  She is 18 1/2 lbs (50%) and 26 1/2 in (25%). She is just the sweetest baby girl!

Reese - You have to slow down!  You are growing up way too fast!  You are such a joy to us.  Your smile and laugh are adorable and can bring a smile to anyone's face.  You have the sweetest personality and are turning out to be pretty funny!  We love to watch you figure things out.  You try so hard to get things that you aren't suppose to have and get so tickled with yourself when you get it.  You are so cute it's hard to take anything away from you so sometimes you play with some pretty expensive teething toys!  lol!  We all love you so much and we are so glad that you are ours!

Big tub...little girl!

Reese has been taking all her baths with Ryne and they LOVE that.  Occasionally she will still get the tub to herself and she doesn't know what to do with all the room! 

blowing bubbles...always a favorite!

too cute for words!

keeping Daddy company...

Jeremy was working on some stuff in the office one morning before MOPS.  Reese and I went in to grab something and started talking.  Then Ryne came in.  So we hung out to bother him keep him company for a few minutes!  :)

I think the girls were pretty excited to be in the office because normally it is a big no-no!  After we destroyed the office (ha) we headed to our fun morning of MOPS and then playing at the park.  I think park pictures are on my phone though.  We are LOVING the weather right now and take advantage whenever we can!
