Happy Birthday Josh!
25 years ago I become a mom to a son.
(25 years? seriously)
He was my calm, easy going, relaxed child.
(which made me think I knew a thing or two about this parenting stuff)
He grew into a confident, strong, amazing young man
(and no I take no credit for that, it is all him)
It has been quarter of a century of being a mom to a son, to him
(and daily I am amazed, and thankful)
I am so proud of him!
(thanks josh for making this mom job such an amazing journey)

April showers.....
bring giggles
and laughter
dancing
and wet toes
pure joy
that only a child can show when embracing an unexpected shower quickly followed by the sun
there was puddle running
and splashing
and mor smiles
and happy faces
and naturally one just had to try to swim....
birthday
she has a summer birthday
which means each school year she gets to pick a day to celebrate her birthday
I think she was afraid we were going to forget
which I did, sorta
and so this past week we worked on what she wanted to bring as her treat
and on Monday she carried all 26 water bottles to school.
well anthony and yahaira helped her out
She was one very excited almost 7 year old that went out the door that morning.

ready to hunt for eggs
she had been picking eggs up and moving them while we "hid" the eggs
when it was time to hunt for eggs she casually strolled through the yard picking this egg or that
I don't think she got the whole egg hunt concept just yet
loved watching her race to find the eggs, loved hearing her laughter
he is a seasoned pro at this, and focused his hunt on those often overlooked hiding spots
they circled the yard many times overlooking time and time again
many eggs. I found as I hid the eggs every spot I went too linette had already
used, we do think alike when it comes to egg hiding it would seem
the lucky hunter this year, she found the egg with the 20 in it
this year there was no chance of trading it with an older sibling for candy
(yes those older ones have tried it in the past they have yet to be successful in this trade option)
she was excited with the candy, the money or the toys
honestly she was just excited about the whole hunting for eggs
don't touch my eggs, no really don't touch them
as we tried to see what she had found, the little wonder freaked
which led to the little wonder heading inside for a long overdue nap
gas money!
after the hunt smiles
he doesn't like his picture taken
(I wonder where I get that from?)
love that I captured them in conversation
glad I didn't capture the faces they gave me when they realized I took their photo
hunting for baskets
apparently that easter bunny did an excellent job of hiding baskets this year
it took a lot of searching until they were all found.
Happy Easter
from the Haycraft's
you will notice the two year old is missing in the pictures
the photo above captures her whole opinion on picture taking.
I woke at 6:28, church was at 7
yes, we did manage to wake and get dressed
2 adults and 7 kids
arriving at church at ten minutes to 7
whew, it was perhaps the calmest service I've been to with this crew
I think most weren't fully awake and a bit in shock perhaps
