Tiny Moments: My Little Dare Devil

If mister can climb it, he will. This little dare devil of mine kills me! :) 

Easter



So grateful for the Easter season and the opportunity to reflect on the sacrifice of my Savior. I always like to relate the resurrection to me personally. Knowing Jesus made the sacrifice for me personally brings an abundance of gratitude and allows the atonement to work more fully in my life. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have through the gospel and reminder of the season. :)  

Here is a little taste of our Easter morning.....

 
The sneaky Easter bunny made his way into our house again and left us quite the loot and bunny prints all over!

My sweet sleepy boy making his way out to see if the Easter bunny came! This year was definitely more fun because Jax was so excited when came out and saw his Easter basket full of goodies and little eggs hiding. 
It was so cute to see him run around to find the eggs. He found like 4 and wanted to call it good. I think it took him the rest of the day to finally the rest! I heart him ;)
Checking out the loot in his basket and Jon reading the note from the Easter Bunny. We were a little lazy around our house this Easter and didn't quite get to dying our eggs for the bunny to hide. So he left us some dye and told us to get to work! ;)
Before we could dye Easter eggs per the Easter bunny's request, we had to get some food in our bellies. This year I tried a carrot cake waffle recipe (allergy friendly!!!). And it was a pretty big hit, especially with Jaxson!
After breakfast it was on to dying Easter eggs and bubs loved it!
And then the joys of a toddler happened ;) Gotta love spills :)
And finally us in our Easter Sunday best :)

Saratoga Springs Easter Egg Hunt

You would think that since we have lived in Saratoga Springs for 6+ months, I would be more on top the city activities....not so much. It takes one of my sisters (Brooke) & her cute family moving here to find out the city does events, like an Easter egg hunt! :) Unfortunately Jon had to work, so I loaded up the monkey and we headed to the park to meet up with Brooke, JD & the kiddos. The Easter hunt was great because it was divided by age. So Jax & Lucas were in the two and under age category. And Hails and Tay were in the older age category. The two and under was so cute because a., they are so slow! b., they share their eggs with each other. After the hunt, we hung out and played at the park for a while and it was so fun! Thanks for the invite sisser! We had a blast! :) 
Cook & JD
