Well this last weekend we celebrated Kris' 34th birthday and Easter! And I must say it was a PERFECT weekend!:) On Friday Kris had off from school so he got to have a Brady/Daddy day and I had to work (which I was bummed I didn't have off but glad Kris got to spend some QT with our little guy):) After I got off work I came home and made fish and shirmp tacos which were delishous! And even our picky eater (Mr. Brady) liked them! Then we ventured into Brady's first run at coloring Easter eggs! I really didn't let him do to much with the dye but Kris helped him write on the eggs while I colored them:) It was going good until Brady thought it would be funny to throw the eggs on the floor...so after 2 cracked eggs we wraped up the coloring fun. Then it was bath, book, and bedtime for our little guy. Kris and I then watched 'The Passion of the Chirst', which we watch every Good Friday. We started this 'tradition' 6 years ago when we went to the movie in the theater on Good Friday. Such an amazing, emotional story...it still pains me to watch how tortured Jesus was and the look on Mary's face...I get teary just thinking of it. I couldn't imagine having to watch your son go through pain and suffering like that:( Anyways...as we know that was part of God's plan and thank you to God for giving up his only son so we could have eternal life in heaven. We are all truly blessed.Saturday morning was Kris' birthday and our little guy woke us up at 7:15 (which was 30 minutes later then he usually gets up)! I told Kris to sleep in and I will get up with him but Kris can't usually sleep past 7AM so we all got up and I made some blueberry muffins...which fresh out of the oven were SO GOOD! After breakfast we went to the Children's Science Museum. We like to get there right when it opens before it starts getting to busy and Brady had a wonderful time:) After we left there we went to Moe's Burgers and got some lunch. Then it was nap time for Brady while I got to finish my book, 'Heaven is For Real' (great book...highly recommend it!) and Kris got to play some Xbox:) I then made Kris his birthday brownies:) He said he didn't want a cake and thought brownies sounded better:) I am not much of a Betty Crocker, but they turned out pretty darn good:)! Then it was much of the same...dinner, playtime, bath, book, and bed for Brady. Kris and I then watched 'The Kings Speech'! It was good and it has been a REALLY long time since Kris and I watched 2 movies..2 nights in a row!! Sadly because Brady goes down at 8:30pm and since I have been pregnant it is hard for me to stay awake past 9pm:( But I had some extra energy this weekend:) Anyways...then Easter Sunday came and we went to a beautiful Church service at Shepherd of the Lake with our friends Scott and Courtney and their 2 little girls:) After Church Brady and I took a nap and after that we headed to my parents for dinner:)! Brady got spoiled by the Easter Bunny (aka Grandma/Grandpa and Auntie). Little girl Shaban even had her own Easter basket with some gifts:)! Brady got lots of new books, a little hot rod bike, toy golf set, and a stuffed puppy which turns into a sleeping bag:) He got some candy but he doesn't really have a 'sweet tooth'...although we did have ice cream cake for Kris' birthday and he was LOVING that!!
All in all it was a great fun filled family weekend and I am just so grateful to have my boys and my family in my life:) I don't know what I did in my life to have so many blessings from the good Lord above but I am truly grateful and thank Him everyday:)
