Easter pictures

We had a good Easter this year. We had the Easter Bunny come on Saturday and he was happy to oblige. Paige and Austin LOVED their presents and had a fun time finding the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid. Luckily it was nice enough weather that we could go outside for the egg hunt. Paige and Austin were pretty funny with the eggs. We had a mixture of real and plastic eggs and they figured out pretty quickly that the plastic eggs had the goods. Austin would shake the eggs to make sure they had something in them and then spend quite a long time opening them. His favorites were the Lifesaver gummies. Yum, yum! Paige would just run to each plastic egg, open it, dump the treats in her basket and then drop the egg back on the ground. She knew what the best part was! Sorry we weren't able to get very many good pictures of the egg hunt. Our camera's batteries were going out and I had to rush to try to get as many pictures as possible.

For those that don't have the "I want to be like Nephi" book, I highly recommend getting it. It is such an amazing book that helps young children relate the scriptures to themselves. I LOVE it!

Sorry about the shadow! See the explanation above.

Here are Austin and Paige's Easter outfits. Aren't they so cute?!? Paige LOVED her dress. She twirled almost non-stop from the instant she put it on until we made her take it off so she could go to bed! She's definitely a girly-girl when it comes to pretty dresses! :0) I couldn't believe she stood still long enough for me to do her hair. I really love that her hair is getting long and thick enough to actually do things with now!

As you can see (kind of), Austin is doing a little walking now. He's been able to do it for a while now, but it definitely has to be his idea. I took him in for his 1 year dr. appointment and asked the doctor about it. He noticed that one leg was shorter than the other and said that that might be a reason for the delay, even though he was still in the normal range for walking. He was worried that his hips might be the cause of it, but the x-ray was clear, so there's not much to worry about. The funny thing was that the next day he walked about 20 steps from the couch to the TV. The little stinker!

Speaking of doctor's appointments. Paige had her 3-year appointment the day after her birthday and he asked if she could say 3-4 word sentences. As soon as the doctor asked the question, Paige went into a whole dialouge about going to see the rabbits for Easter and feed them and try to help them find their mommy. The doctor just looked at me and said, "I don't think she has a problem in this area!" Definitely, NO!
