My first hair cut!

Jerod told me we had to wait till after he was officially ONE years old

so yesterday we went out to g'ma Shirley's for our FIRST haircut!

My shaggy little boy before the trim with long pieces here and there...

 

 and a couple curls too!

but it was time for a little cut...

{I'm so glad I took before pictures...because I didn't expect such a change}

"The cut"

G'ma getting his hair wet while we distracted him with treats to occupy him

at first he wasn't having any of it...and kept swatting her hand away

but after a couple snips he forgot all about it and sat so nice!

I'm thinking that giving him a comb may have helped?

Almost done...

ta da! Breck's first hair cut

&

first spike!

I think he looks like a different kid...

blonder? older? can't pin point it...but I love it!

and I'm pretty sure he was too!

And here are the "baby hairs" we cut off!

My handsome boy...

hamming it up! 

He sat down and was posing for this picture!

Thanks g'ma!

Breck's 1st Easter.....

The morning of Easter we woke up and got ready for church..

mom told us it was at 10:45 so we took our sweet time.

We arrived at 10:35 and noticed we were the only ones walking in,

then a full church of singing people enjoying Easter service

THAT STARTED AT 10:00!

Sooooo.

We stood in the back and waited till everyone stood up

then snuck into the back row, where this friendly man handed me a bulletin :)

And we enjoyed the last 45 minutes of the service

{although maybe we were lucky we missed the first 45 minutes...a long service with a one year old!}
p.s. I didn't even feel worthy to go up and take communion!

After church and a BIG thank you very much to my mother for not telling me it was at 10:00 after she realized the change...

we went to my parents for lunch: Ham, potatoes, and more yummm!

then it was time for the hunt

the kids found their Easter bunny prizes hid around the yard

Breck with his new blocks! Thanks bunny!

Then it was time for the

duck pinata

{that was suppose to be at his party the day before but ran out of time}

 After the kids smacked it a couple times then it was g'pa Tom's turn!

He had us in tears of laughter!

Funny g'pa

b.t.w. Breck says Grandpa {sometimes grandpa plain as day and other times boppa}

We needed pictures of my boy all dressed up in his Easter outfit

so we bribed him with candy

He loved loved loved it!  Probably because he hasn't really had any candy until yesterday {his birthday party} or today {Easter}

So when we tried to take it away....

we had a very angry....

sad boy :(

awwwwwww. poor baby.

but he got over it fast and was back to being Mr. Happy

and tried to get some Easter family pictures!

It was such a beautiful day out!

Enjoyed the sunshine

Even great g'pa and g'ma Lundon came for the weekend to help us celebrate!

A picture of the great grandchildren...

we missed Maizy Mae :(

Then our family photo op

Then g'ma and g'pa with the kids

then home for a nap

but we only made it to the bowling alley before he fell asleep!

It was a good day!

Later that night we went out to the Barrick side at the lake

for a grill out! It was amazing and can't wait for summer bonfires!

welcome...

Happy May Day...

I totally forgot about May Day!

but, Breck's cousin's didn't.

last night when we were getting ready to put Breck to bed we heard the doorbell ring....

I looked out and didnt' see a car

but, saw two little heads run by the window to the side of the house.

So, Breck & I went out on the back deck & I saw two little people crouching down, whispering to be quiet, watching the front door!

So I say "hey, who are you hiding from"

they screamed with glee...as their mom {in the car on the side street says "go to the front, your ruining it"

SOOOOOOO... we ran to the front to see two cute little homemade May Day baskets

& two kids screeching not to catch them for a kiss!

Then after two min. of me pretending not to catch them they say "okay, can we come give Breck a kiss"

and they did!

Then they left to go play their tricks on grandma & grandpa

& we enjoyed our basket of goodies

{fruit snacks, twizzlers & feather}

HAPPY MAY DAY!

Doesn't that mean Spring?

Nice weather?

Sun?

Sunshine?

Play play play...all day long!

Busy little man.

I was going to put some toys away {rattles & baby toys}

since he got so many new toys for his birthday {thank you all again}

but, as soon as I put them in this clear bin he decided he wanted them....

or maybe it's just the bin he wanted!

It's been his favorite thing to play with...

so much so I have to hide it from him because he loves to climb inside of it,

sit in it in play with the toys, then... 

stand up, look at us, giggle because he thinks he's so cleaver, then...

falls flat on his face!

{yes, I took a picture before I went over to help the poor guy up}

although he smiled at me

then did it again!

He's so funny these days...SUCH a personality!

Yumm..

This little man has ALWAYS loved food!

ANY food. ALL food.

but lately he has decided he hates:

carrots & mashed potatoes {so much he actually gags & acts like he is choking...drama queen like his dad}

He also likes to push all his food on the floor, then gets mad when all the food is gone & he's still hungry!

So i bought these bowls

and they work amazing!

Stick to his tray & he does so well eating food out of them! BIG BOY!

He also has a new spoon

that he holds in his hand while eating, but as of now...that's all it's good for!

This weekend we were out for dinner and the waitress came up to me and said

"here are some crackers for your little girl"

TIME for a hair cut! pronto!

The best part is after she said that

he tipped his head to the side and batted his eyes!

Sorry Breck, that's not helping your situation! but your still so cute!

April showers...

should bring May flowers?!?

but unfortunately...

it's been freezing cold out & no fun!

Where is SPRING?

Jerod built this gate on our back deck so Breck & I can hang out and play on the deck!

LOVE it.

Perfect for summer! I had my last program today and have less then one month left of work & then I get off for the summer for fun in the sun with Breck, Ellery & Calvin!

Today it was 44 degrees

Snow flakes in the a.m

but after dinner the sun made it's appearance! So Breck & I went for a wagon ride & played on the deck.

He LOVE to run back and forth

and spin around in circles till he is dizzy and his little eyes go crazy and he falls over!

Then he laughs...

and does it again!

I'm bummed to not have special blogs from: Easter/birthday party & 1st birthday pictures up yet...

and it bothers me that it won't be in order but,

I NEED to blog {I have the shakes from not doing it for over a week}

SOoooo...enjoy my new posts
