**Easter**

Another fun and busy holiday weekend!
Get ready for a long post!
Saturday morning we hit the egg hunt in Highland.
(Huge disappointment)
Jaxon didn't care... he liked it anyway.

Then we went to grandma and grandpa's house to have our own egg hunt! Apparently dumping the eggs out and picking them up is fun too!
After naptime we "attempted" egg coloring. Welllllll... let's just say he was not interested. He liked looking and naming the colors, but that was about it. Oh well, maybe next year!
So Joel and I finished the egg decorating! I got a little glitter crazy! :)That night, Joel and I went on a date! MMMM Olive Garden for dinner and then a movie with my love... SO NICE!!!
Easter morning Jaxon woke up to...A Toy Story Easter basket!!
To say he has been obsessed with Toy Story lately is a HUGE understatement!!
He examined Woody and Bullseye for a good 30 minutes before even touching them!
After a while, Joel convinced him it's fun to play with them too! :)
So spoiled!!!
And... when he woke up from his nap, Abuela was there to bring him yet another Easter present!
Oh yeah... BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!
Told ya he would love his Easter stuff!
Of course, nothing is more important then the real meaning of this special holiday.
And this year, Jaxon didn't really understand... but as he gets older I hope we can teach him to appreciate and understand it's true meaning.
Happy Easter!!

SAND DUNES!

It's that time of year again! The annual Roper family sand dunes trip - we always go around Easter time, and it is one of my favorites! This year was a small group... and some of the people there I didn't even recognize.. BUT it was still fun just to be in the sun!
We spent most of our time sitting on the top of the sand dune... watching Jaxon play in the sand. He LOVED it!!

My grandma and one of my uncles has 4-wheelers. So we got to borrow them and take a few rides! It may not look like Jaxon is thrilled in the pictures.... but I promise he loved it!! He is just a stinker about pictures!
Next up... EASTER!! This week we will be dying eggs, eating Easter candy, going on egg hunts and getting his VERY exciting Easter basket ready! Oooo he is gonna love it!

Little NERD!!!

Our little man is so silly lately. He loves wearing shoes! Since I pulled out his flip flops he has been begging to wear shoes around the house! My mom got these adorable Pumas for his birthday... and last night he wanted to wear them while he played! Even though he was already dressed and ready for bed. He was walking around struttin his nerdy self... and laughing away. Until I pulled out the camera. Then he got serious! Go figure.Such a boy!!! But ya gotta love him and his silly personality!

{Something is wrong with my blog..... And I have no idea how to fix it. Or how it got messed up in the first place. UGH!}

Ok, enough complaining. I was looking through last years pictures - 1 year ago, today, Jaxon was not even walking yet!!! Haha isn't that funny??
