One Two Three little cousins

Gigi, Chelsea, Brady and Kylee came to visit! We had so much fun while they were here. We splashed in the tub, ate donuts, watched space jam, walked to some garage sales and to subway, painted, had a picnic, got to swing, go to the park, fixed the lawn mower, watched the mavs win and ate at Chimmys. We had a fun day! 

The reason this is called one, two, three is because Jude said them all in the correct order today!! He was pointing out the Polka dots in 'Put me in the Zoo' to Gigi. I was so proud of him!! Growing so big so fast!

Fun at the park 4/22

 We love hanging out with our friends Ben, Caleb and Devon. Now that the boys are older it is so much fun to see them interact! It was funny seeing Jude and Ben show off their muscles. And they all three love to swing! We had a great day at the park.

Jude LOVES to color! :-) random I know but that's what he is doing right now. He tells me when it's time to color by pointing at the markers and saying colors! Love it!! 

Tank You Mama

Jude several times today has said thank you mama. The first time was this morning when I gave him some fruit loops. He said "tank you mama" with that big smile on his face! It makes mama so happy when he says thank you and then when he said thank you mama I almost cried I was so proud of him!! We went to a stroller strides class this morning with our friends Shona, Nicole, and Devon. It was a lot of fun and Nicole and Shona even when a couple of prizes. Jude watched everybody the whole time. Again I was so proud of him because he did not fuss or cry he just watched and watched. He loves to be outside and watch his mama work. After the workout class there were activities for us to do. He really liked riding in the train. Again, I am so proud of my little boy! 

Yesterday we went to the library for story time and he sat and listened. At the beginning he was a little bored but then he really began to enjoy it when there was singing and began looking at the pictures in the book. I look forward to the summer when we get to go do it more often. 

Easter

Jude was so fun getting his Easter eggs this year! There was a hunt at the church after service and he ran out there grabbed and egg and chunked it across the field. Then we told him to put it in the basket and he was pretty good at it. I didn't help him much I let him do all the work. I just held the basket for him. Then we did one at home and he was smiling and having a good time! Grammy, Paw Paw, Katie and Clark were here this weekend to celebrate with us. It was so fun to have everybody here! Jude is trying so hard to say Grammy and it makes her very happy.  Everyone came from all over. Paw Paw came from Southlake, Grammy came from Diboll and Katie and Clark came from Abilene. They all got here on Friday but at different times. Grammy and Paw paw watched Jude while Ryan and I went to go see God's not dead. We have not been to a theater in a long time so it  was really fun to go on a date! What a great movie! It is so awesome to see movies that are successful that are focused on the true God! On Saturday we went to the park and I was so impressed and proud of Jude! He can do pull-ups! (kind of) He just hangs there dangling for  several seconds! Much better than any of the rest of us can. 

The sermon yesterday at church was phenomenal.  He gave the illustration of being in debt. God sending his Son for me is like him taking away all of my debt. But not only that he refills my bank account with the perfect life of Jesus! Wow! Grammy said it was the best Easter sermon she has ever heard. Love Pastor Dan!
