.Where's the mouse?.

Well, we live on a farm and I guess with living on a farm there are going to be things to remind you of that...like a mouse running through the house!! (sorry you have to turn your head sideways to watch the video!)

.LOVING this weather.

We are THROUGHLY enjoying this springtime weather! Especially in the evenings and the weekend when Daddy is home with us. HattieJo loves to be right under Andrew's feet in whatever it is that he is doing.

.STRIKE!.

...but we are going to have to teach her to roll the ball to the pins, not RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN and KICK them over!..

:We got mail!:

Yes, we get mail everyday, but it is always either junk mail or bills, never anything exciting. BUT last Thursday I got home and there was a box on the porch for us! It was an Easter package from Gigi and Poppa!!! HattieJo was so excited for us to open it. She got LOTS of goodies inside, including a "tractor, tractor." Baby boy even got his first football, a gator one! So the bottom right picture is HJ in her sunglasses doing the gator chomp. She will be a great cheerleader.

:BOOTS:

The other morning I was cleaning the house and heard HattieJo in our room saying, "mommy, mommy, daddy shoes, daddy shoes" when I walked in the bedroom this is what I found! This girl LOVES some shoes!

.EasterSunday.

On Sunday we woke up and enjoyed a breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Then Andrew headed to our church's North Raleigh Campus. HattieJo and I played outside the whole morning until it was time to come for me to cook lunch and HJ to nap. After nap we spent the afternoon "spring cleaning" together outside. We cleaned all the porch toys and furniture, daddy washed the cars, and then we washed the yard toys! Once we finished cleaning we hid easter eggs.... Yes, HJ is hunting easter eggs redneck style with just a diaper...but she did have on a hairbow and flip flops! After we came inside to get cleaned up we went to another potluck with some friends! It was some yummy food and a great time of fellowship outside! We were only in the car about 5minutes and HJ had fallen asleep from playing so hard all day. LOVE seeing her enjoy herself and other people.

.whew...

..what an awesome weekend! We have had so much fun this weekend. Friday I was off from school so HattieJo and I played all day in our pj's! Then when daddy got home from work we got showered and ready for a dinner date, then we headed to our church's North Raleigh campus for the Good Friday service. It was great! On Saturday we had planned to go to an Easter egg hunt, but the weather was yucky, so we just headed over for an Easter potluck with our small group:

After lunch we headed home for a short nap before going to church! It was a great evening of worship! After each service we had baptisms outside, so after each service I had HJ out to watch them and she clapped right along with everyone after each one...it was awesome to see so many surrender their lives to Christ!

These next picture was HJ EXHAUSTED after a busy day.... she just laid out on one of the rugs in the lobby of the worship center:
