Bunnies, Baby Teeth, Brides and a Birthday!

Our internet is driving me bonkers. Takes FOREVER to download anything, so I apologize for the lack of posting lately!

Had a great Easter. Started our celebrations the weekend before with a neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Luckily they let the little kids have their own section or Ashlyn wouldn't have gotten any eggs. She would pick one up, smile, shake it, look around, really taking in the whole experience.

As the rest of April has gone (record rain), we had a rainy Easter day. We started off the day at Ducky's house for a fun hunt. Dad, Jill and Nono seemed to have fun watching Ashlyn find eggs and little toys around the house. Then we went over to Mimi and Papa's house for a fun hunt and dinner. Feels like it'd been forever since we had everyone together for dinner, was nice to chat/eat/and celebrate the holiday.

After what feels like 2 months of teething, little man's bottom 2 teeth popped through. Teething seemed to bother him more than Ashlyn. Pain, grabbing at his mouth, and even little blisters on his gums. So glad they have finally come out! Certainly am not looking forward to the next set.

Started off the wedding season with a wedding first for me. We did an Indian ceremony in the morning, a luncheon, and then turned the room over for a christian ceremony and reception that night. It was a really neat cultural experience, loved everything about it! And the long awaited Royal Wedding lived up to expectations. I didn't wake up at 4am to watch it live, but did record it. Kate looked gorgeous, very Grace Kelly. I would have liked to see a more dramatic train and longer veil, but overall thought she was stunning. Pippa certainly left her mark on the world too, poised and beautiful in a slim and sleek white gown.

Ashlyn had her own princess party, putting on her dresses and dancing around the room while I sang the wedding march. I tried to get her to watch some of the wedding video with me, but she was pretty uninterested. Don't think she's going to take after "momma" and my love for weddings.

Last but not least, another birthday has come and gone! I am officially 31 years young. We had a birthday celebration with matt's family on Easter day. For some reason my birthday is one of the days i miss my mom the most. She always made sure our birthdays were really special, so i miss her presence on that day. Day started with singing and birthday card from Ashlyn, My mother in law came down and took the kids to the Children's museum, then we went to lunch, I killed a few hours at a playdate with my girlfriend Amanda that evening , and then Matt brought home Ruby Tuesday turkey burgers and a candy cake (darn daily allergy). He spoiled me with a gift card for a massage, gave me a foot massage, and bought me a dress from Nordstrom (very impressive"). Followed by a day full of phone calls, text messages, and facebooks birthday wishes. Needless to say, I felt loved, spoiled, and happy all day long.

Then to top it off, I got a great night out with all of our great friends to enjoy an adult dinner, some wine, and good conversation. It was a really GREAT week!
