Beautiful Weather & Easter

Well, the first few pics are old, because they are from before our whole life went crazy!  But they are pretty cute, so I thought I’d share anyway!

Before everything went down, Laney and I enjoyed some really nice weather on our Monday of Spring Break.  We were so tired from Young Christians’ Weekend that we just spent the day hanging around.  In the afternoon, we headed outside, and I decided to try to build the Cozy Coupe that Grandma & Grandpa Price got Laney for Christmas. 

I thought I might be in trouble when the directions looked like this:

Luckily, I had Laney & Truman to help!

Laney is not so patient!  She wanted in before the wheels were even on!

Isa wasn’t a whole lot of help, either! :)

Unfortunately for Laney, I didn’t actually get the whole thing put together.  I got to a part where you had to snap the roof supports in, and I just didn’t have the flexibility (hello, 38 weeks pregnant) and/or strength to get them in.  So we had to wait for Daddy to get home to finish it!

First, a hug for Daddy:

Then a test drive- she was “going to Wal-Mart then grocery shopping.”  Guess they play what they know! :)

Truman spent most of the day outside with us. He love to roll on the concrete and scratch is back… funny part was, he rolled in Laney’s sidewalk chalk art and colored himself!

  Check out the purple, pink, and blue shoulder… very manly! :)

 

Well, obviously the rest of our Spring Break didn’t go QUITE as planned… but we made it back home in time for Easter Sunday, though it wasn’t exactly the same as normal!  We decided to skip sunrise service altogether, and only Laney and Daddy went to Sunday School.  Audrey and I came to regular church, which was about all I could handle anyway- I was pretty uncomfortable by the end.  It was kind of nice not to have to get myself plus TWO little girls ready in time for a 7:00 service!  I just had to get Laney ready, and then I had time to get me and Audrey ready on our own!

Laney, ready to go! 

While Laney & Daddy were in Sunday School, the Easter Bunny came!  He even knew to leave something for Audrey!

Laney was QUITE excited when she got home!

The Easter Bunny brought Laney new nail polish!  She was so excited!!

Since we were all dressed up, we decided to take a Looten family photo… after about 50 tries, we got a pretty cute one!

After taking a picture, and having some lunch, we headed out back where Uncle Charlie the Easter Bunny had been nice enough to hide some eggs for Laney!  I took about a zillion pictures while we were out there, because the light was just so good, and she looked so adorable running around in the backyard.  Definitely more excited about it this year than she was last year!  So, here are just a few pics…

 

Miss Audrey wasn’t up for hunting for eggs this year… so she took a nap on Grandma Jo instead!  I don’t think either of them minded! :)

 

Of course, we had to get ALL of the candy out (and dumped into bowls from her little kitchen).  We let her enjoy herself for awhile, though…

 

Anyway, it’s been a crazy week, and we are VERY glad to be home hanging out with each other this week, not doing much besides playing outside, relaxing, and getting to know Miss Audrey!
