Easter '10

If you haven't guessed by now, yes, I'm making up for lost time! Three posts in one day! I have so many other things I should be doing right now. But some people are just mean! When I don't keep up on the blog, some people (you know who you are) can just get down right nasty! -- So this year I told Brad that I was in charge of getting Easter baskets for the girls, since he gets carried away and buys way too much stuff. I was very organized and had the girls baskets completed two weeks in advance. Brad only had to get stuff for my basket. He walked in the door with bags full of Easter stuff. He just couldn't help himself! I don't know what to do with him!

See the cute pink chocolate bunny inside the basket? That's the one I got Ari. See the ginormous bunny off the the right? Brad! See the Nerf gun, Mario Galaxy game, Astro Boy dvd, purple shirt, and kite? BRAD!

Gaby's basket. All me baby! That's what a proper basket should look like. I didn't go over board!

I love this face in the morning. She chewed on everything! Translation: She loved it!

Ari flipped out when she saw the giant bunny. She immediately threw her pj's off and put the purple shirt/dress on. Daddy, I mean the Easter Bunny, was beaming!

Easter Egg Hunt

There is this beautiful church in Jenks that holds a massive Easter Egg Hunt every year. There are 50,000 eggs for the kiddos to gather. They have different fields roped off for different age groups, and in each group there are a few prize eggs. This was our 3rd yr attending and it was just so fun to watch Ari.

She is getting so big! She was so excited to be there.

Yep, cropped Momma out. We love our girls!

At first Ari would only pick up the pink and purple eggs. Brad and I had to convince her that the other colors were just as good. Such a girl! -- Oh! Brad and I were laughing (rolling our eyes) at some of the parents. We saw three Dads take off when the hunt started. They were running around trees, looking over and under things, just so they could find the prize eggs. Their kids weren't anywhere close to them! Way to teach your kids what's important Dads! There were other parents who literally brought garbage sacks, GARBAGE SACKS and were filling the bags full of eggs. Really? I just don't get some parents. This is supposed to be for the kids. There were some other parents around us and we were just looking at eachother shaking our heads.

In the end, we had so much fun watching Ari. She loved every minute of it! If you are wondering why there aren't more pics of Gaby, well, like most hours of the day, she was hungry, so Brad took her back to the car and fed her some baby food.

Gaby's First Haircut!

Gaby kept getting her hair caught inbetween her 'neck chub'. I finally got sick of it and decided to trim her hair. Man I was tired afterwards. I couldn't get the kid or her father to cooperate!

*And Here We Go!*

Me: Babe could you hold Gaby's head so I can get a better shot of her hair.
Brad: I'm trying to. Just take the picture.
Me: Her hair keeps getting caught in her neck. I can't get a good shot.
Brad: You aren't going to get a good shot. Just take it!
Me: Urrgh! Fine!
*Result: Eeeh, you get the jist right?

Yes folks! That was the first snip!

*After Shot*
Me: Babe, your eyes are closed. Let's try this again.

Me: Now Gaby's eyes are closed and you look like a freak!
Brad: Aaaand we're done!
