Birthday Surprise

Today Angie and Mike invited us over for a birthday BBQ.  I was so happy that my sister baked me a birthday cake.  I loved it and it was so delicious.  Plus after I walked in my good friend Becca, Michael, Logan and Brenna jumped out from behind a wall saying "surprise"!!  Yes, it was a wonderful surprise!!   I was so touched that Becca and her family came to celebrate my 40th birthday with me.   Becca is such a great friend to me and I am so very blessed to have met her.  And......Peyton was so excited that his little buddy Logan was there!!  Thanks Angie and Mike for a wonderful evening!

My 40th Birthday

Today I celebrated my 40th birthday with my family.  We had BBQ Shrimp which is my favorite and what I request every year!!  :)  And today I got my new Nikon D7000 and a brand new lens, a 85mm 1.8!!!!  I am so excited and can't wait to master them both.  I had to wait almost three long weeks for my new camera.   I sold my D60 to a friend and only had my point and shoot....which is okay, but you sure do realize how slow points and shoots are when you're trying to take pictures of a three year old!!  So yeah, very happy to have my new camera now!!   And I got all my accessories needed for my new camera for my birthday!!  I had a wonderful birthday celebration!! 

Easter Dinner

Peyton had another Easter egg hunt at Grammy and Grand Dad's house.  I told Peyton that next year he will have a little competition because by then Maddie should be walking.  :)  Afterwards we enjoyed our first crawfish of the year!  We had a very lovely, laid back Easter!   

Easter Morning

It was so cute this morning when we hear Peyton say excitedly while coming down the stairs "My basket has Easter eggs and candy in it!"  Kevin and I jumped out of bed and I grabbed the camera before Peyton got too far into what the Easter Bunny brought him!  He was so excited and sampled practically all the chocolate!  :)  Afterwards we cleaned up and dyed Easter Eggs.   This is our first time doing this together and he L.O.V.E.D   I.T! 

Good Friday Fish Fry

Today we were invited by Angela and Mike for a Good Friday Fish Fry!  The food came out really good and Peyton had such a great time playing with all the boys.   At one point in the evening, he was disappointed that the boys went next door and played with a neighbor.  He didn't cry or whine about it but just longingly watched them from the fence as the boys were playing......which made me (and others) feels so bad for him.  So I walked over to the neighbor's house so that Peyton could join in with the fun.  He was so excited when I told him we were going to look for the boys  We played a while and Peyton took advantage of the neighbor's little red jeep!  He had so much fun! What a sweet little man I have!

At the Park

Today we met up with Dawn, Maddie and Grand Dad at City Park to feed the ducks.  Grand Dad came with treats for us to eat and then bought the kids some ice cream!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we met with some mom friends and had an Easter Egg hunt and crafts.  The kids were so excited about hunting for eggs they could hardly contain themselves.
