This was after her class's Easter egg hunt. They had cookies and a party!


Easter is an awesome holiday that is sometimes over commercialized with the Easter bunny and Easter eggs...but this year we tried to really talk with Sagen about the true meaning of Easter, our Lord's death and resurrection. I am so glad that we worship a living, loving God. We went to a "service of silence" which is like a funeral for Jesus at our church Friday night. It was so powerful and you left there with all these emotions on your shoulders for what you had just witnessed. We had someone playing the role of Jesus and the Roman soldier beating him as he carried the cross. Wow! Saturday we went to Stanton where Sagen and Slayde hunted eggs with all of their cousins on Rusty's side. Saturday night was not fun! We were up around 9 or 10 times with Slayde constantly crying...unconsolably! Sunday we went to church and left a little early to spend the day with my family. My grandparents, aunt and uncle, and cousins from Idalou were there. It just so happened to be my grandmother's 85th birthday which we celebrated too. She looks AMAZING for her age! I can only hope I look half as good and get around as good as she did. Slayde was moody all day and ran fever and just couldn't be happy. We took him to the pediatrician Monday morning where his ears were so badly infected he got a shot and an antibiotic! Hopefully he will feel better soon! (We took him Friday in Lamesa and told he was just "teething"...yeah right!)

Slayde's 1 Year Photo Shoot











Ok, I know its been longer than one year (14 months to be exact), but I finally got around to taking Slayde's 1 year pictures. I was putting it off thinking he would finally start walking...but he still isn't! I guess he is just going to take his time. Hope you like them!
