Easter

Easter was really wonderful this year. For a long time, I didn't think we would make it! We started back church the Sunday before Easter but then we were hit with the stomach bug on Monday...Luckily Blakely and Parker never got sick, so we were all good by Sunday! 
Dawson is so wonderful...I just am so passionate about their preschool ministry. They go over and beyond for our family! They didn't even hesitate when I told them they would have to help Parker go potty and wheel him around. They were more than eager to take on the challenge.
We went to Kaki and Wolfie's the day before to celebrate Kaki's birthday and had ourselves a little egg hunt!
The kiddos were so so so excited!
This picture down here is an accomplishment...let me just say. Little miss AK is on. the. move.

Look at that sweetheart.

These two sure do have fun together!


Alli Kate got her own little section of eggs to find.
and so did Parker man.
He opened each egg when he found it and got SO excited! If there was candy...he enjoyed it right away. (until I caught wind of what Wolfie was watching him do)
This one just tried to eat the eggs.

I catch her being sweet sometimes!!

The next morning was a lot of fun!






After church, I had the family over for an Easter/Parker's birthday Lunch. It turned out great! We had Pork Tenderloin, mac and cheese, green beans, sweet potato casserole, stuffed eggs, salad, rolls and cake! I still can't believe I pulled it all off!


Blakely chasing sister!


Although some days are hard, these are years I cherish. Right after a terribly hard moment, I see these little bits of heaven. God sure is gracious with us mommas.

February

I'm continuing on with the worlds least creative post titles. I'm doing good to take pictures and get them on here. =)
Since Parker's accident was February 2...February was a month of survival. Our friends and family made life so much easier. We had friends take Blakely to birthday parties, pick her up from school, bring us dinner every single night for two months, and come just sit with me at home.

 We got out for a few lunches while Parker was in his 'chair'.
 We celebrated this amazing lady.
 with this deliciousness...
 We tried our best to get creative and have fun at home on the weekends...

 We finally braved it out on occasion  in the bob to some stores. And practiced bribery at its finest upon arrival to each store! =)
 We spent a whole lot of time on our leap pad and tv...
 I'm like a fly to the light when I get on the floor! every. single. time.
 So proud to finally have him crawling around!!!

 Sweet friends showered this boy with borrowed toys!
 We celebrated our favorite 8 year old!



 and had a lot of dance parties!
All in all, I can honestly say we made the most out of our February. I've got no complaints =)
