Our little bunnies

On Friday morning (Good Friday) Kent and I (...mostly I, Kent loved playing with the pile of flour I set for him on the counter and playing in the sink with a small stream of H2O flowing from the faucet) we made more soft pretzels - only this time shaped them into lil' bunny rabbits. Got the idea from the April Friend magazine. Wade's mom stopped by to visit in the morning so I made the soft pretzel recipe in her honor (she got me the cook book). I hoped that on Saturday we could dye Easter eggs but that didn't happen so I'm glad we at least accomplished making these bunny's to add to the festivities of the Easter weekend.

Easter Sunday - Leon is sporting a new little outfit from Beth (Phil's Aunt). She and her husband were so kind to even think of our little family and gave such darling thoughtful gifts to both Kent and Leon when we saw them at the birthday party last week. Leon is growing and growing! He is due for his 4 month wellness check up I'm curious to know how much he weighs now.

Grandma Sanner gave Leon this cute, super soft rabbit

Wade volunteered to make breakfast this morning

biscuits and gravy! Kent was his side kick

mmmm very tasty!

Kent got all comfy on the floor in the living room when I put on the Finding Faith in Christ DVD

yep - we have a TV now!

no more watching the computer screen for our media entertainment. Some friends of ours had this TV in a garage and I think they thought it was a pity we were without. It really wasn't bad not having one. As you can see we didn't turn them down though.

I declared 10 am as start to the Easter basket hunt!

Kent was cute about it. Rather than emptying the basket to see it's contents - he held onto the basket by the handle and headed for the door. He knew we were on our way to church - so he thought he would bring along his basket. "Don't you want to know what is in your basket Kent?" "Ohh! OK! Oh wow!" he says with a grin. (fyi the basket didn't go out of the house)

I love Leon's grin

A kind man from church left this bag full of exciting things at our door - Kent was all about the new car to add to his collection, the PEZ dispenser that and all the "Easter Treats!" Kent loves these new words in his life.

Leon was given an adorable lamb. The lamb and the lion : )

Now Kent has no problem spilling out the contents in haste.

Carol (Phil's Mom) gave Kent the cutest Easter basket - A pail with a shovel, an apron (for my kitchen chef/ cape for my imaginative hero) an awesome net on a sturdy bamboo pole - to catch butterfly's, bugs and whatever else Kent can manage with it, a monster truck (how did she know: ) and bouncy balls, stickers and of course yummy c h o c o l a t e !!

His hand was even more chocolaty!!

Happy Easter!

Church was wonderful and we scooted out to Beth and Phil's home to spend the rest of the day with them and Joel Kristi Bobs, Mark and Phil's parents and sweet Ava and some friends of P n B's. Of course we all enjoyed a delish dinner and desert, cross that out - desserts! I detailed the gifts because I am touched with the kindness of others. They very much didn't have to do what they've done - Thank you for sharing your love with our boys. I love seeing the family playing with Kent and Leon. Joel was so cute with Leon getting smiles and laughs out of him. Phil was giving Kent's big rides - tossing him up high into the air. Bobby made a funny comment today - Wade was being the wonderful father that he is and was telling Duane about some things that Kent has been up to lately or his new skillz - Bobby turns to me and says "it's like Wade is doing a variety show! Kent can roll over and says this and says that..." We were both variety show conductors yesterday.... we are fascinated with our boys what can we say : ) While we were saying our lingering goodbyes, Beth popped Kent into the bed of "Uncle Phil's Truck!!" Kent LOVES "Uncle Phil's Truck!!" When we got home that evening and tucking Kent into bed after a very good brushing of the teeth I reviewed the day with Kent and asked him at the very end did you have a nice day today Kent? He replied in a very sleepy voice by simply repeating a couple of times "Uncle Phil and Aunt Beth. Uncle Phil and Aunt Beth"
