Easter Sunday


Confession: I took 196 pictures on Easter Sunday. Needless to say, I had trouble picking the best to share. Shall I start my 12 step program now??

Wow! The Easter Bunny sure was good to Cooper this year. Can you tell he has a thing for Elmo and Thomas?

Getting into his loot!

Only on Easter will a child have chocolate around his mouth before 9:00 am! I think this little guy had around 10 Hershey Kisses at least. Hmmm...no wonder he didn't take a nap!

 
He's got to release some of that chocolate energy. We've got a ball player on our hands. Oh, and he's a switch hitter and a left-handed pitcher. Cha-ching!! I sure hope he wants to take care of his Mommy and Daddy when he's making the big bucks.

Of course my angel knows to pose for a photo op every now and then. Why so serious?

Daddy and Cooper hunting some Easter eggs. He did an awesome job for his first hunt!

I just think it is too cute when he squats down like that. I wanted you all to see him in action!

Here, he is trying to find the green eggs that are right in front of him. I guess they blended in pretty well (and no, they are not in the picture if you can't find them). Can you sense the concentration?

Of course, Mason was hamming it up for the camera. I had to stop and snap a few of him. Such a sweet boy!

Cooper wanted to give cousin Mason some sugar! Look at his sweet puckered lips. Mason's reaction is priceless. He just laughed at him! Poor baby got shot down by his own cuz!

Taking a shower in Easter egg confetti!

Aunt Marian letting Cooper pick out some confetti eggs.

Check out the confetti in the curls. It all eventually fell out thanks to the wind. Those curls sure held on tight for a while.

Daddy showing off his loot!!!

This was certainly one of the best Easters ever! We had so much fun and the weather was beautiful. I hope everyone else had a great one. Now, get out and enjoy this beautiful spring weather!!

Nana Jana's Trip to Visit

We had so much fun when Nana Jana came to visit. Thankfully, Papa's surgery went well, and we were able to spend some quality time with him and Granny on the farm. I don't know about Cooper and Nana, but I needed some family time. 


So serious. He looks like an angel with the shiny blonde curls.

Papa and Cooper rode around the farm on the Kubota all to day. They had the best time. Cooper would just talk and talk. What a big boy up next to his Papa.

Taking a rest from the day's activities...

...and, he's back up again!!

My precious boy!

Nana Jana and Cooper picking a flower for Granny. My mom and I used to do this very same thing. This is such a special thing for me to capture.

Of course, every little boy can turn a flower into a baseball bat. He just kept swinging!

There's no better way to end a day on the farm than in the arms of Granny! Oh to be little again...

Mommy's New Toy (The Nikon D3000)

Kenny and Cooper got me a Nikon D3000 for my birthday. Now, I take pictures of Cooper all of the time!! I practiced a little during bath time when I first got it. I love these sweet pictures. He has to be the most photographed kid of all time. 







And yes, I absolutely recommend this camera!!!
