My First Easter Egg Hunt!!

My very first Easter Egg Hunt!!! The Easter Bunny hid all my eggs and candy in Great Grandma's basement on Easter Sunday!!! I had a blast looking under pillows, cushions, tables and on chairs for all my eggs! I ended up with quite the basket full, only to find out Grandma & Grandpa pretended to be the Easter bunny, and hid more eggs (with money in them for college) upstairs and in Great Grandma's bedroom! I had a great time seeing my great aunts and great uncle on Easter. (I was sad I didn't get to see uncle mike) I also got to meet Dylan for the very first time and boy....was he a flirt!!!


MY SECOND EASTER EGG HUNT


I got to have a second Easter egg hunt while visiting my Grandma Bonnie in Fonda. I shared my eggs with my "cousin" Trevor, I even put some of my eggs in his basket! We had to bundle up though, as it started to get colder later on in the day! But at least I didn't have to wear a snowsuit and snow boots, right!?!?!? I had a fun time finding all the eggs in the yard while my great aunts and great uncles watched, as well as daddy's cousins and grandma bonnie.

I hope you all found your Easter eggs this year! Mommy said that I had to share the candy with her...I suppose that's okay, just as long as I get all the M&Ms.

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

Spring is Here.....

well...almost! We enjoyed an afternoon in the backyard, as temps once again reached the upper 60s and lower 70s this past week. Allison had a blast chasing Lucy and Kirby around in the backyard, while Daddy manned the 'pooper scooper' and I was the lucky one with the camera!

We really can't believe that our little 7lb 10 oz baby girl will be 17 months old tomorrow!!! She is quite the lil sprout, continuing to grow and learn new things everyday!

Bath Time Fun

Room to run....

Back on February 15th, Allison enjoyed having plenty of room to run and play in our living room, as we moved out our furniture, to make room for a sectional. So she had a full day and a half to play.
She had this one spot she'd always go to sit at!

Bad Hair Day????

Tunnel Voyage!!

Today we spent our afternoon at Tunnel Voyage (formally known as Tunnel Town in Lee's Summit, MO) We had a great time there today, it was a great outting for the 3 of us and Allison loved being able to run around the whole place. She was pretty hesitant going down slides and didn't like going down by herself, so of course...Mommy went down with her on the big slide. Chuck and I also got our exercise climbing through all the tunnel (adults are actually allowed in the tunnels!) I have to say, my knees are hurting pretty good tonight from all the crawling I had to do!

Anyways, Allison also saw one of her favorite animals today at a local farm and garden store (Orschelns). She was able to view about 20 baby ducks!!! She also saw about 100 baby chickens too! She loved just pointing at them all and peering over the edge of their "container". We can't wait until it gets warm enough for us to go to the zoo!!!

Here's another photo of Allison at Tunnel Voyage playing on the bongo drums.

Out & About

Sunday was a funfilled day as the weather was great (until late afternoon) it reached 72 degrees here! We headed out to "The Legends at Village West" shopping center near the Kansas City Speedway to enjoy the weather. Our first stop was Dave & Buster's, a favorite of ours. The food is great (especially their warm powdered sugar donut holes for dessert!) and the atmosphere is just so fun. This is b/c it's a huge arcade!! After about 2 hours at Dave & Busters, we headed out to shop, by this time, it had gotten...rather chilly and was starting to mist. We stopped in at a few shops, mainly for Allison, as we were checking out spring and summer clothes for her and we also made a stop at Chuck's Aunt LuAnn's candy shop...."Palmer Candies and Ice Cream." We were surprised to see his 2 cousins, Heather and Michelle, at the store, as they are both in college and live pretty busy college lives! So we were glad that we got to see them, especially since they've only seen Allison maybe once or twice.

Well that was really our Sunday. I wish the 72 degree weather would come back! It's cold out today, the rain that puddled in our yard yesterday, froze over night. So at least it's not a muddy mess....for now anyway.

Here is a photo of Allison while we were at Dave & Buster's, wearing her new sunglasses.
