Our only family pic from Easter

Thanks to our pastor's wife, we ended up with a family picture from Easter. It was taken during our churchwide brunch, between the two morning services. Thanks Cheryl!

Little Man

Here are a few pictures from our Easter! Cayson wasn't too keen on taking pictures, he just wanted to play with his ball!

The Borrowed Tomb

On Sunday, March 16, 2008, our Worship Choir and drama team presented "The Borrowed Tomb". It was a very powerful, moving presentation of the last days of the life of Jesus. It was taken from the perspective of Nicodemus and Joseph of Aramethea, whose tomb was "borrowed" for Jesus. I played Mary Magdalene. We inserted the Lord's Supper into it, first having Jesus and His disciples pantomime the last supper and then our pastor came forward and we all participated. It was so powerful.

Since I was in it, and my husband directed it, we don't have anymore pictures yet, but several church members took some so hopefully I'll have more to share soon!

There you go! We had such a good time! Cayson was so much more excited about this game, mainly because it wasn't during his naptime like the last one was! Shaun's parents were supposed to go with us, but they both got sick and couldn't make it. So we invited our Sound Techie from church and his wife to go with us. We ate at Famous Dave's BBQ and shopped at Target! Much fun, since we don't have a Target here in Fort Smith. (However, they are building one that is supposed to open this summer sometime!!!)

All in all, it was a great day of fun and fellowship! And the Hogs won!!!

My Day Ahead

As I'm typing this, it is 9:11 AM and we are watching Little Einsteins on the Disney Channel. Cayson is sitting on the couch with me, drinking his milk and playing with my hair. (That's what he does when he drinks something, especially when he's sleepy.) But this morning bliss is not to last for too much longer. Because after lunch, we're heading to Fayetteville. We're gonna do some shopping and go see the Hogs play Auburn tonight! I am so excited! I love going to the basketball games because they're cheaper and we take Cayson with us (because it's cheaper!). Also they are a little shorter than football games, too.

We recently took my family to the Arkansas-Florida game. That's what we gave them for Christmas. We had such a good time then that I know we'll have a good time today! Here's some pics from that game:
Before we left for the game!

On the way to the game...they're already pooped! (That's my dad and Cayson, by the way!)

Cayson didn't like the mascots very much! Hopefully this time he won't cry when he sees them!

Look at that baby bump!

The Things He's Learned

Cayson has learned so much recently! Here are just a few things:

How to pray
Shaun and I have always held hands while praying with each other, especially at mealtime. We started this with Cayson a little while back and now when we say, "Let's pray", he gives us his hands. He hasn't quite learned to close his eyes or bow his head yet, but he definitely is recognizing that we pray and he is learning what to do. Oh, another thing Shaun and I have always done is we give each other a kiss and Cayson does that too!

How to wash his hands
Cayson can just barely see above the bathroom counter now. And when he steps on his stool, he can reach the water, so I'm teaching him how to wash his hands. He gets the biggest kick out of it!

How to climb into his highchair
He just tried this one day and was able to. I always make sure I'm right there, though.

How to play the Wii
Yes, he has his own Mii and he plays tennis all by himself on the Wii. He can actually hit the ball pretty well.


How to throw things in the trash
He learned this a while back, but my blogging has been so sporadic I wasn't sure if I'd posted it or not. After he finishes with a snack that has a wrapper, he likes to go throw it in the trash!

How to blow his nose
Again, he learned how to do this over Christmas, but I couldn't remember if I'd posted it. We weren't really trying to teach him this one, he just copied me! He really hated the bulb thing, too, so it's a good thing he can blow his nose now!

There's so many more things that I know I'm missing, but you get the idea. I love watching him learn new things; it's so fulfilling!

Snow!!!

It snowed at our house for the second time in one week...in March! How crazy is that???!! Earlier this week, the snow was all at night and by mid-morning, it was gone. But this time it started after lunch and didn't quit until well into the night.

I got to bundle Cayson up and take him out to play! Then when Shaun got home from work, they built a snowman, Cayson's first!
