Happy Easter

Fun times with the entire family this Easter!

Here are some eggs that we all did at the house and Kaden and the bunny.

We had quite an Easter weekend! First on Good Friday, we spent some time in Sugar Land at my dad's house. They helped me watch the kids while I worked a few hours. Maya got to test her powerchair around the block and in their house for the first time.

Saturday morning we headed to Corsicana for the annual Taylorosa Egghunt. This is Charlie's brother's wife's family. Debbie and Max host an egghunt each year at their now ranch. Everyone has so much fun there. The kids are all around each other and usually that is enough, but Taylorosa Ranch boasts a nice outdoor patio with pool and swingset, a tennis court, a few horses and a whole lotta land in the back for the guys to practice shootin' their guns. This time I rode back there with them to see what it is that they do there for so many hours. Got to ride a "rhino" through the "jungle" as Maya calls it. She said she didn't want to go through the jungle because of all the bumble bees. I wish that the only thing we had to be afraid of were bumble bees out there! I have digressed...back to the Easter egghunt. This was Maya's first egghunt with her powerchair. She did pretty good and got about 20 eggs. We put them on top of the bushes for her. She giggled so much along the way.

Kaden got a couple eggs too. He didn't care too much at this age of course but he sure did get a lot of attention from the extended family. He had so much fun going on the swing. After the visit with the Taylor's, we had dinner and then to nanny and papaw's house for baths for the kids. Kaden wasn't happy about the carseat for a while but he finally fell asleep. I can see that in the future the trips for Kaden are going to get tougher as he will want to get out and play!

Sunday morning, we headed to church with a smaller crew.

Then off to Sugar Land to spend the day with my mom. Maya always get so excited about going there. We notice that she gets quite rude to her daddy and I when we are at my mom's house. She tells us to go away or not to come there. We don't usually take it the wrong way. She is used to being there by herself and getting all the attention that she doesn't know what to do when he has to share their time with all of us! But Papa usually takes over playing with Maya and my mom with Kaden. Charlie and I were actually able to sit on the couch and just relax.

We had a nice lunch and dinner. Maya had round two at the egg hunt. We hid the eggs outside and some inside. Since it was all for Maya we out the eggs all in her reach from her power chair. She had SO much fun. After she got over the fact that the Easter bunny wasn't hiding around the corner to scare her. She thought he was going to be there. She was saying "is EB going to be there" EB is the Easter Bunny after this year's movie Hop. We were telling her that EB doesn't stay around cause he has so many other egg hunts to visit all day. It took her sometime but she finally got around to starting her egg hunt. She found all of them of course and wanted to do it again. It was like hide and seek for her. EB brought Maya and Kaden all money this year. He knows Maya doesn't like candy so he gave her dollars and quarters. Kaden even scored a $20!

We all sat on the couch and watched Maya open her eggs. She told us all to stop talking and to listen "okay everyone...stop talking and listen to me....I'm TRYING to read the instructions". Meanwhile she is opening up one of the dollars and starts to "read" what it says. Then she goes on to tell us what the instructions are. "go to the store and buy a toy". Quite the imagine this was has. We did get this all on video but this like all the other videos take all day to load up here. Definitely one of Maya's funniest moments.
