Lots and Lots of Egg Hunts!!

Thursday we started off our big Easter Hunt at the MSU President's House. Here is Anthony and his friend Clarie getting ready to make a run for the eggs.

Anthony and Miss Mississippi State......always a ladies man.

Saturday Morning we went to a Easter Egg Hunt at our County Co-Op

They did a great job and the kids loved it!

Lots and Lots of eggs!!

Here is Anthony with his friends - Jackson, Zane, Mirana and Ruby Kate. Look at the picture below everyone has a basket full of eggs except for Ruby Kate...she only wanted the hot pink eggs and would not pick up any other color! Too funny.

After we left the co-op we stopped in the Veterinary School to see Tony and look who was there....The Easter Bunny!

Hunting more eggs at the Vet School

Wow....time for a nap. That afternoon we took Anthony down to a farmers open house for a pony ride.

He looks like a natural.

We also let him ride the bigger horse.

On our way home we had to stop in and feed our horse and decided to take another ride...the weather was so nice.

Last Easter Egg Hunt was Monday! Getting pretty good at this now.

Time to eat the Candy!

We had so much fun at all the Easter Egg Hunts! Now the trick is trying to hide all that candy!!

Thankful everyone is safe after the storms.

Locked Door

This is so funny...or at least it is to me and Tony....and I'm sure other parents out there will laugh as well. Anthony has been in a toddler bed since he was a little over a year old. The reason for that is that instead of trying to climb out which he could not do - he decided to take his blanket and throw his body - HEAD FIRST out of the crib! With Tony and me watching on the monitor - he was fine of course but the next day we took the crib down and up came the toddler bed. All great right? Wrong - ever since then we have had to sit beside the bed until he goes to sleep or he would just get up and walk out of his room. Do you know where this is heading... Last week I told him ok it's time for bed...all is good he gets in I sit with him for a little while saying our prayers, etc..... I was extremely tired and told him that I was going to bed (after sitting there for 30 minutes and he still wasn't asleep!) I walked out...told him goodnight and walked out the door and held it shut so he couldn't open it up. Well guess what...I saw the light come on he came running to the door and ha he could not open it. He said "mamma locked the door!" ran back and turned off the light and jumped back in his bed. YEA!! Problem solved..... We have been doing this for a week now and he doesn't even try to get out!!:) But sometimes in the morning when he wakes up he says "why you lock door?" Last night I sat with him for a little bit as we said our prayers then I got up and as I was walking out Anthony says...."Goodnight Mom" How sweet is that!!

No 4-Wheel Drive

I actually took this video before we left for Florida...just now getting it on the blog. I can't tell you how long he tried to get up that hill...he backed up and went as fast as he could...he stood up....he tried going slow but the hill was just too much without 4-wheel drive. But we had fun!!
