Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Our church had a special early breakfast (which Pam did a wonderful job with!), and a record attendance (woohoo!). I am trying to continue to take advantage of still being able to dress Cade "sweet" for as long as I can, so he wore his sailor suit for Easter:) I wore a maternity dress I borrowed from my sweet friend, Amy. It must have really, um, "accentuated" my belly, because I had so many people come up to me and say things like "Wow! You have really started showing now!" Ha! On a side note, we are there pretty much every Sunday, so it wasn't like weeks had passed since my last appearance there. It just made me even more aware of the fact that this baby girl will be here before we know it! I wish I had taken better pictures before church, but we were in a hurry to get there early, so I only got a couple:

Ready for church- the truck basket had to go, too!

Easter Sunday was also Pap's (Rick's)birthday. We celebrated that evening with a cookout and Easter egg hunt for Cade at the farm.

The best way to hunt eggs quickly- with your tractor.

Found another one!

On to the next spot...

Destin 2009

We had a great week at he beach! Cade did so well on both the ride down and the ride back (a huge relief). He has been to the beach once before, but really loved it this time. He absolutely loved the sand, and would dig, fill his dump trucks and wagons, then dig some more. He was in absolute awe of the ocean, and would just stand there and let the water hit his feet (it was a little too cold to go in for a swim). We were glad that Rick and Pam were able to come down for the first few days, as Cade always loves spending time with them. Even though a couple of days were too chilly to go to the beach, the weather overall was gorgeous! Other than a little virus Cade got near the end of the trip, everything was great (if you ever have a sick child in Destin, go to the White Wilson Pediatric Clinic- they are awesome!). I am already looking forward to going back, although I can't imagine what it is going to be like to travel with two kids!

Beautiful Sunset

Pulling his wagon

Nice sunburn on me (*Note to self: You do not have the same beautiful tan complexion as your mother in law. Just because she did not put on sunscreen does not mean you should not, unless you like peeling...*)

Seaside

Waiting on a bite of the world's best shaved ice!

Cade's Best Friend...
