Landen is giving us big, beautiful smiles!

Easter 2009

This was Landen's first Easter, and Darren's first Easter egg hunt. It was a wonderful weekend! On Friday, we had an egg hunt & supper at Tony's parent's house. Darren discovered that hard boiled eggs can be mashed! Once he discovered that he ruined about 4-5 eggs. He would have messed up more, but I stopped letting him grab them! On Saturday morning, we had breakfast with my parents. Darren always enjoys playing with their dogs, and Landen loves catnapping with Aunt Chelsey! Saturday afternoon there was an egg hunt at the church. This time Darren was hunting plastic eggs...they weren't near as messy! He picked up 2 eggs...one for each hand...and was perfectly happy! Landen hung out in the stroller, and with Daddy during the hunt. He just enjoyed being outside...he loves it outside and I love taking him outside! Sunday morning I got the boys all dressed up (well as dressed up as you can get boys). They both got to wear new outfits to church. The service was wonderful. It made you reflect on where you've been and where you're going. All in all, we had a busy but fun filled weekend!

This was the first egg Darren put his thumb through!

Saturday at Grandpa's

This past Saturday we went to Eastman to celebrate Tony & my dad's birthdays. Darren fell in love with the ice cream as you can see! My dad gave him a little and he started asking for more...eventually he decided that papa wasn't fast enough so he would grab the spoon as soon as the ice cream was dipped and shove it in his mouth. It was quite funny! Darren has started to try to run. I've posted a video of him "running" down the driveway. He fell that same day and skinned his knee for the first time, but it didn't phase him. I don't think he even realized what happened. Landen enjoyed the day as well. He took a nice catnap with Aunt Chelsey on the couch. Landen has started to smile at us! It's adorable! I hope to get a picture soon, but you know how kids are (as soon as you pull out the camera they stop doing whatever was cute). My dad & sister, Chelsey, have the boys until Tuesday, because Tony & I are taking the youth to six flags tomorrow (& it's supposed to be a high of 50 degrees-that's crazy for south georgia). I'm sure the boys will come back very spoiled!

It looks like Darren's going to play football!

Darren's 1st Birthday Party

Oh my how time has flown by! Darren is already a year old! We celebrated his birthday at Grandpa Ward's house on February 21st. He had a wonderful time opening presents and eating cake.

First Blog Post

I've decided to start a blog so that those who don't have facebook can keep up with the kids. Hopefully I'll be able to post something atleast once a week...with two kids there's usually something exciting to tell about almost every day :) I'll post some pictures of Darren's first haircut soon!
