EEC Easter Party

Yesterday was Jackson's Easter party/egg hunt at school. We've been practicing all week for the many egg hunts this weekend, so he was thrilled for school on Thursday.

I found a clever treat to give his classmates....bunny carrots! 

His teacher passed out the kids' basket and Jackson was ready to go.....Notice the cape.  His best buddy's mom made these for the kids in his class.

 

The Hunting Grounds....

Ashlee and I were the lucky ones to hide the eggs.

 



 

Here they come....

 

Off they go...

 

 

Showing off his loot...

After the hunt, the kids came in, washed hands, and had a fun snack!

 

After school we were invited over to Rosco's (J's best buddy) house to play.  Here's what happens when a bunch of boys get together and play....

Notice J is the only one in a shirt, and notice Rosco always wearing a cape!!!

 

Checking out the tractor....

 



Thanks Ashlee and Rosco for fun after school play time!!

 

 

 

 

 

Mansfield Pickle Parade

This past Saturday afternoon was Mansfield's Pickle Parade celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  The whole family went...even my sis and the kids joined us!  We met up with our friends, found a great spot on Main St. and enjoyed the parade. I think we've started a new tradition.....

 

Cousins...

Here's are clan making the walk to Main St.  Too bad I didn't take a pic of my dad (aka gramps) pushing the BOB loaded down with chairs. 

My sissy...

best buds Zachary and J (aka Batman and Spiderman)

By far Jackson's favorite Monster Truck in the parade.  I think it was the ONLY one too...

Stroller Stride Mamas...

 

 

Ahh.. the Wheeling Elvi.  I can't help it, I love them. 

Pickle Queens.... My sister's old drill team coach from high school is on the right by the clover.  Looking good Lisa!!

This pic sums it up....We had a great time, and can't wait to do it again next year! 

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patty's Day!!!

Spring Break 2013

What a fun Spring Break!  Not only did Jackson get a week off school, but Grandma made a visit as well.    Here a our week with Grandma...

Daddy got Jackson a really cool tent, and he loves watching his shows, and playing in there.  Here he is waiting to go get Grandma from the airport.

 

 

 

 

The First Day of Spring Break.....The Stockyard Cattle Drive

 





Afterwords we enjoyed an awesome lunch a Joe T's...

 

I went shopping with a friend of mine, and Jackson spent some quality time with Grandma....I came home and found them playing doctor....Love his face!



We celebrated St. Patrick's Day all week!

We met up with our buddies to ride the train through Trinity Park.  The weather was perfect, and we he had the best seat to watch all those who went to Half price day at the zoo.  

The boys and their new super hero hats...

 



Afterwords, we had lunch at the gourmet food truck park on the Trinity.  If you've never been, your missing out!
