Easter

The first egg hunt of the weekend

Easter morning

We were lucky to have Crew sleep in a little bit on Easter morning it was so nice. I woke up before him and couldn't get back to sleep since i was so excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought.

We went to a hunt on Saturday morning where they basically just throw candy and plastic eggs on the open grass and let the kids go at it. Later that afternoon The Fonnesbeck's had a family Easter party, I was bummed I had to work during it but Crew sure had a blast. They had another mad dash for candy, and there is no doubt that Crew got more candy this weekend than at Halloween. Almost all of the Fonnesbeck Grand kids were able to be there. We sure missed the Williams' in South Carolina.

We spent most of Easter Sunday in out jammies and watched conference. It was a nice relaxing day spent with my little family, just what we needed. hope your Easter was a good as ours.

Crews Birthday parties

We had two parties for Crew this year since our clubhouse was reserved on His birthday {no one ever uses it and on the day I need it of course someone else is} and We don't have enough room in our house for the whole family. so on the Monday before We had a party at the Fonnesbeck's 

Then on His birthday We had a party at Our house with my Family. My little brother Ben had a baseball tournament that weekend so it worked out perfect. {We missed the aunt, uncles, and cousins that couldn't make it}

It was a great Birthday, Crew got lots of great toys and gifts Thanks so much to all that came to celebrate.

another funny...

Today while Crew and I were standing in line at Wal*Mart he was yelling and making so much noise this is the conversation we had:

Me: Crew you need to stop that, it is too loud.
Crew: No!
Me: Crew stop talking back to me!
Crew: No mom, you stop talking forward to me!

I was laughing so hard i couldn't even pretend to be mad . I love that little boy he is such a crack up!

Three Years Old

Today is my little leprechaun's birthday! I  can't believe how big he is getting, I love having little conversations with him and seeing him learn everyday. He is so smart and has a memory like no other. We are having a robot party tonight with Family once Grandma and Grandpa Eldredge, and his aunts and uncles get here. Crew is so excited that they are able to be here for his party. When I told him last night that they were coming for his party he said "Yea! I love those Guys." I will post pictures from his party later in the week. And I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day too.

The Big Boy Room

I finished this a while ago but just got the pictures off the camera. I wanted to redo Crews room for a while. He was still using his baby room decorations and I thought it was time to give it a new look.

{I also was hoping maybe if I put away all the baby stuff then I will finally get pregnant and have to use it on the new baby.}

The "Before"

 

We had changed the crib into the toddler bed but this is the only pic I have of his room before.

The "After"

 

  

 

I made his curtains out of a shower curtain and then had to sew that blue piece on the bottom since it was to short. I am not a seamstress in any way

{even though my mom taught sewing lessons and i took a few years of it myself} 

so I am pretty pleased with how they turned out  

{even if i got frustrated more than once. and i wasted a whole lot of  thread.} 

I also made that blue pillow cover to go over an old red throw pillow we had. 

Crew loves his Big boy bedroom.

I hope this means He is learning...

Yesterday while eating lunch Crew kept standing up on his stool and this is the conversation that followed~

Me: Crew you can't do that because you could fall off and get hurt
Crew: yeah mom I can't do that, and I can't call you a Fricker either.
Me: Right you don't say that word

He had called me a Fricker the other day and I made sure to tell him we don't say that word and not to call people names because it hurts their feelings.  I guess he is learning.

Christmas and the New Year

Crew and Cody on Christmas Eve

Cookies and a letter for Santa

 

Crew in front of the tree with his King Car, the only thing he asked Santa for. Not even 3 hours later and he left it in the gas station in Cedar on our way up to Grandma and Grandpa Eldredge's house. Lucky for Crew, Santa was able to get Crew a new one.

Coloring book he got from G&G Fonnesbeck

Crew in his pink snow clothes. They were the only ones we could find at DI, but they kept him warm and dry and that is all that matters.

Outside of my parents house be fore we left to so sledding. Crew loved it he was a total dare devil. he wanted to go down the big hill all by himself. He was such a trooper he hiked back up the hill no problem. I didn't get any pictures of us sledding but my Dad did I will see if I can get some from him. We had a great time at my parents house we were there from Christmas day until the sat after New Years. It was great we partied nearly everyday with family Christmas parties and Ben's 13th Birthday and New Years.
