Easter Fun

A little odd that "SPRING" has sprung....yet we still need the fireplace!

Ready to Easter Egg hunt at our house!

Some of them were really high!

The Easter Bunny brought a fishing pole that Jace is VERY excited about!

After going to Sunrise service at 6:30 a.m. we didn't have to be anywhere until the evening...so we got some gardening done!

Then it was off to Grandma J's!

On a mission!

3-Year Pictures

With an un-cooperative boy...means you incorporate a large stick, and a great photographer can capture some perfect examples of his personality!

Some things about our favorite 3-year-old boy:

1.  Loves donuts, macaroni, ice cream, pancakes, and chocolate milk.

2.  Takes any opportunity to be outside.

3.  His favorite shoes right now:  Mud boots.

4.  Favorite show:  Umizoomi.

5.  Favorite color: Purple or Green

6.  Favorite Song:  (Besides KidSongs): "1994" by Jason Aldean.  He is pretty good at the part that says, "Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe!"

7.  Favorite movies: Toy Story, Polar Express, and the video I made for him for his birthday

8.  He is VERY helpful.  Really, he is.  He likes to help with laundry, likes to wipe off the kitchen table, he tries to fold clothes, and loves to try to get the trash from the kitchen to the garage.  (Thank goodness for those force-flex trashbags!)

9.  He is excited about being a big brother; maybe just because he knows when the baby comes it is time to get out the combine.

10.  He prefers to wear shirts with tractors and trains on them more than anything else.

11.  At his recent checkup he was in the 5th percentile in weight, and the 49th percentile in height.  Who knew we would have a scrawny kid?

12.  He still has red hair and brown eyes.

13.  If you tell him "I love you" he will often respond with "I love you mostest!"

14.  He is all boy....and he is our boy....and we are so blessed to have such a fun, loving, healthy guy.

A little more birthday.....

Jace was really good at opening cards this year!

Here's Jace, birthday morning, opening his present from Mom and Dad.

Apparently Jed and Jace are have a discussion about how to get into that box!

Aha!  He got a seek and find Mickey Mouse book, water shoes, and the Percy and Thomas shake up and go trains that we used for his birthday cake!

And his other birthday present....SNOW!  These pictures are from the day after his birthday!  Crazy to think last year we were in shorts and celebrated OUTSIDE, this year we almost had to cancel the party because of the snow!

Happy Birthday to..........Jace!

We celebrated Jace's birthday at our house, with all of our family: Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.  Thomas the Train was the birthday party theme this year!

If you look closely at Jace in this picture you can see the bruise on his head, that started off as a knot, that he got from daycare, trying to wrestle with Gracie!

A shot of what was going on outside while we were warm and cozy inside!  A snow storm on Jace's birthday!

 

Thanks to the snowstorm, we got enough snow for a sledding party at our house the day after Jace's birthday!  Can't believe Jace is already 3!
