First Easter

Audrey Grace had a very busy first Easter! We were on the road from Thursday to Sunday visiting family and celebrating Easter. We started our weekend in Newton. We left on Thursday and spent 2 nights. We had a busy 2 days visiting and playing with Huck!

Wonder what they are thinking?

Love my baby girl

We left Newton and headed to the lake to spend the night with Annie. We decided to stop at the Vicksburg mall and let Audrey Grace meet the Easter Bunny. I will admit, I was a little nervous. She has been on a Mama kick the past few days and I wasn't sure she was going to sit in his lap. To my surprise, she did GREAT! She sat in his lap and smiled and patted on him.

We stopped by our house before heading to the lake and Audrey Grace got an Easter card from MiMi. She loved reading it! She flipped it over and over and opened it several times like she really knew what she was doing!

After spending Saturday night with Annie, we went to Valley Park to see Granny and Papa. Of course I didn't even think to take my camera inside. After a visit with them, we headed to Clarksdale for lunch and an egg hunt.


Daddy Bud and Audrey Grace

Uncle Louis had to be the first to get his hands on her!

Aren't they cute with their matching Easter baskets?

Laura Lea wanted to be sure Audrey Grace had plenty of eggs in her basket.

I thought I put a picture on here of Audrey Grace with her eggs, but I didn't. She found 34 eggs! After the hunt she sat in the grass and played with all of them. She would take them out of her basket one by one and play with them.

We had a busy but wonderful Easter. We were able to see almost everyone in our family!

Surprise

This past weekend, we spent a weekend at the Beau Rivage with some of our best friends. We were there to celebrate Angelia's 30th birthday! She had no idea we would be there along with Krisa, Taylor, MH and Matthew. She thought she was there to relax with her husband, but he had something better in mind! We suprised her at dinner friday night. She was so suprised she cried!! We had a great dinner and then went dancing!! Saturday we hung out by the pool and talked and laughed all day. Finally, around 6 pm we decided to go get dressed for another fun night together. It is always nice to get away with Ryan, but we are always ready to see that sweet face when we get home. Thank you Annie for keeping her so we could go have such a fun weekend.

Random Pictures

I forgot to mention in my last post, that we stopped by my grandparents house again on the way back to Vicksburg. My Dad, Jennifer and Allie were there visiting so we got to see them too!

A Dangerous Sight! I am not really sure what Audrey Grace's expression means, but she looks just like her daddy! Laura Lea is just happy to be in the driver's seat.

Aunt Dru and AG at Hunt's baseball game A day of shopping with Mama and Annie, and pretty happy about it!

Gone Visiting

2 weekends ago, we made a trip to north Mississippi to see my grandparents and check on our house in Southaven. Audrey Grace and I left on Thursday and went to Clarksdale to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a special day, because we got to spend it with my grandpa on his birthday!

Audrey Grace talking to Grandma

This picture cracks me up. My grandmother has pictures of my 3 neices and my sister Allie on a side table. Audrey Grace pulled up and was looking at them and talking to all of them. She took the picture of Laura Lea and sat down and started talking to her picture. Then she leaned it up to her face like she was loving on it. It was so funny and sweet. I don't know if she knew what she was doing but we thought it was GREAT!

Taking a stroll with Grandpa

Audrey Grace and I loaded up on Friday and headed to Southaven to check on our house. It is still there, so pretty and partially full of our stuff. I still get emotional when I go back. We really are settling in good, but it is just sad to go to a beautiful house with your stuff in it. I guess it doesn't help either that we pay a mortage on a house we don't even live in! I wish we could pick it up and move it here! Oh well, the right people will come along sooner or later.

After roaming around every room in the house and talking to Audrey Grace about it, we went and visited my old work. I really do miss the people I used to work with. You know, being pregnant is a major milestone in your life, and I shared it with these people. It was great to see them all again and let them see Audrey Grace again. She was so sweet and tolerated everyone loving on her.

Ryan met us there Friday night and we went and spent the night with Luke and Kelley on Mud Island. We used to get to see Luke and Kelley so often and now we never see them, so it was really nice to have a laid back night hanging out with them.

Saturday morning Audrey Grace and I strolled over to my friend's Kristi and Brian Chopin's house. They had a precious baby boy, Bryce, in January. This was our first time to meet him and he is so precious. You really do forget how small and helpless little babies are. When we got there he was awake, so I got to hold him and he talked and cooed at me. Audrey Grace looked at him but wasn't real impressed. She wanted out of the stroller so she could destroy their den! Of course, as I say all the time I feel like, I didn't take my camera, so I have no pics to share.

After our visit, we went back to Southaven to get a load of stuff to bring back to Vicksburg. I am so happy to have even more of our things at our house. It is all coming together, slowly but surely.

Beautiful Girl, Beautiful Azalea

A few Saturday's ago, I had another photo shoot in front of the beautiful pink azalea in our yard. She is still un-intrested in smiling for the camera, but I think I got a few sweet pictures
