Easter Celebrations

HELLO! hahaha! I didn't know whether to title this post with "Hello" or not. My friend, Robyn, has been kind enough to teach me how to load my pictures with Hello! Yeah! It was a good post for me to learn on since there are 25 pictures in this one:) I did get carried away though and so the pictures aren't in the exact order I had wanted them in, but I'll learn to control myself for the next posting. Last week was crazy with all the car shopping! Shellee did finally get a car though and so the carpooling days are over for now. I can't believe she only has three more weeks here. She will definitely be missed!

Well, here are our Easter pictures:

Olivia was excited to color easter eggs for last week's FHE activity.


She was good to wait patiently while they took on their color

We even had time for "Blue Steel."


And Home Alone.


She'll eat the egg because she thinks the yolk is CHEESE.



Yum, Yum!


Olivia practicing driving Shellee's new car.


All sunscreened up for the Easter egg hunt on Saturday.


She loves slides.


Hannah looked too cute in her Easter outfit!


Jason gave the kids a ride on the lawnmower when he finished his work.


And...the Easter egg hunt begins! (Katie~ here's my picture for ya:)


Hunting for more eggs.


And more.


Let's look inside!


Hannah being cute again!


After our Easter celebrations (and us being unlucky at getting Olivia down for a nap), we went to visit our friends in North Georgia ~ The Dodson's! This is 9 month old, Alana! Such a CONTENT child!


Olivia loves the animals at their house. This is Nanny the goat. Her favorite animal is Dalton though:) (Dalton is her boyfriend in the blue shirt.)


Olivia petting Wendy the horse (and my shadow taking her picture).


Another shot of Miss 'content' Alana. Playing with the plastic knobs on my headlights.


Lots of fun things to do at Dalton's house! ps Who knew she was old enough to swing on a big girl swing! I had only trusted her in the baby swings. I should have known that Daddy would put her on this one though. Don't worry, I didn't let Aaron push her near as high as he probably wanted to:)


So then Big boy Dalton had the smaller one...he didn't mind though because he got to swing higher!


Something Mommy can't do with Olivia anymore (it's a HIP thing;).


Olivia loved playing on Dalton's top bunk! Kept me on my toes though.

Catching up!

Whoa baby! I honestly didn't realize it has been nearly three weeks since I last updated my blog! Aaron loaded the pictures off our camera on Sunday night and that's when I realized there were still some on there from last month. So, we are playing catch up.
Olivia walked right into the door while getting into the car one day and it gave her a beautiful goose egg (on her forehead)! We were headed to the grocery store when it happened and I was worried how people would react there because it swole up really big at first. She's a tough girl though! She handled all the pokes that Daddy gave it. These pictures are taken the night of the 'incident.'

She's still smilin' though and giving us her thumbs up!


I know I've posted pictures like this one before. Olivia just can't get enough of holding her baby cousins (Hannah and Lincoln). Papa does a good job of holding them both in his lap and fulfilling Olivia's never ending request. Also, maybe this is a better picture of the goose egged forehead.


Olivia got lucky the last week of March because she got to play with her cousin, Madison, several times during the week!


This picture and the next three are ones taken this past Sunday by Aaron. He pulled out the camera after Olivia walked into the dining area and surprised him with her pink curlers. I think she looks so cute in them that I couldn't pick just one picture to post from the bunch! One benefit to a later church meeting is that Mommy has time to curl Olivia's hair:)




After putting in all those curlers and checking them periodically for dryness, I still had to pull out the curling iron! Maybe THAT is why it doesn't get curled very often...


The reason for a late church meeting is because we got to attend the ward in Gainesville with the rest of the Lunt family. Lincoln's baby blessing was beautiful and supposedly it's the last one given by Jason:) ps Grammy is holding Lincoln while he sits on Savannah's shoulders.


Olivia liked being able to attend nursery with her buds (Braden and Madison).


Afterwards we got together at Grammy and Papa's house for a big feast! But to help the adults out while they prepped the meal, these three (Madison, Olivia (playing Stevie Wonder) and Bella) serenaded us!

One of Olivia's favorite things to do is swing at the park. Fortunately I have a good friend who will capture the moment for me! Thanks for posting Robyn! http://www.thehutchfam.blogspot.com/
