Easter Sunday 2011

4-24-11

While we felt some urging to go to our new church, instead we just spent time with family.  First we went to Grammie's where Dani got all kinds of cool stuff including a tiara which she made Daddy wear.
 

 

Then we went to Grandma Zonnie's where Dani and Parker decorated some eggs.

Dani's didn't stay decorated for long!

Then they got their Easter baskets (I mean bags).

Next was another egg hunt!

 

I'm very happy to say that our 2012 Easter was much different.  Mommy always knew what it was really all about, but in 2012 it really hit home that this is the day that is the basis for our family's entire belief system and should be celebrated just as much as Christmas.  So while there are still baskets and eggs there's a lot more Scripture, praise, and thanks.

A Very Big Day!

First I need to give a bit of back story...actually 2 back stories...  #1.  Mommy's Uncle Malcolm passed away and his funeral was this morning.  Instead of expecting Dani to sit still we sent her with Grandma Zonnie and Parker to a local church event.  #2.  Remember in the post "A Taste of North Lake County" how I said we were invited to an event?  Well, this is that event.  It's the Easter Eggstravaganza at Engaging Life Church, where we ended up staying, and making our church home.  After Uncle Malcolm's service we joined Grandma and the kids.

First we started with a little extra love for Daddy.  I know he's gonna hate these pictures but too bad, they make my heart feel happy :)


Then it was off to the bounce houses and slides

These look grainy because they were taken through the mesh made to keep the kiddos from bouncing out

 

These two ladies have done so much to make us feel at home!  Jamy and Maranda we can't thank you enough!

Balloon animals!

Egg hunt time!

 

Some of the eggs had funny money which they used to buy toys.

Then we went to Aunt Carol's house to visit with the family while they were in town.  It was good to play and smile and spend time together.  And in case you couldn't tell...everybody loves Dani!

 

Rodeo girl!!

4-16-2011

Dani got to rodeo with her friend Lizzy!  Before her first ride she had to model a bit :)  She was in the "lead line" division, meaning she rode someone else's horse and had someone walking it on a lead, same for Lizzy.  There were tons of great pictures!  Here are some of them...
 

 

 

 

All participants are gauranteed a prize.  Dani won 2 ribbons and Lizzy won a trophy!

 

We're going to the fair!

4-10-11
It's time for the county fair!  Danica got to ride on her first rollercoaster, she was so brave! She kept her hands in the air the whole time!


Next she got to "drive" the fire truck.

Then it was time to ride the carousel.

And how's that for the happiest carousel girl...EVER!  :)
 

 As we were getting ready to leave we bumped into Kiersten and Logan and they all got to pretend to drive the lawn mowers and such.

Some cute kiddos if I do say so myself!
