Easter Celebrations

After enjoying a relaxing week of Spring Break, we began our Easter Celebrations on Saturday. Our church had an Easter Eggstravaganza for the community filled with arts and crafts, a bounce house with HUGE slide, the Easter Bunny, an egg hunt, snacks and door prizes! Here are some pictures of Camille enjoying the slide and bounce house. Clayton had to help her up the slide and I was at the bottom trying to capture a picture and catch her all at the same time. She has little fear in her body but she wasn't too sure about daddy pushing her down this huge slide!

Speaking of fear, the Easter Bunny is included! We saw the EB at the mall on Wednesday and were curious if he was any nicer looking than Santa...that's a NO! In this picture she is attempting to crawl up me and push me away as quickly as possible. Not quite the EB picture I was looking for! Later on Camille and I were walking down the hall holding hands and the EB starting coming our way. Camille quickly turned and went the other direction but he was walking much faster than her and Camille just froze and panicked when he went past. I was a little nervous about the Easter Egg hunt. We had been practicing picking up empty eggs and she had no interest. Whenever we put eggs in her basket, she would immediately dump them out. But...she did so good! The first egg she picked up, she shook and could tell there was something inside. She quickly caught on and loved it! She even had a little help from a little boy we didn't know. I was trying to get Camille to pick up a particular egg and this little boy began going for it instead. So, his dad told him to put in in Camille's basket. From then on, the little boy continued to find eggs to give to Camille instead of himself. He was so cute! After the hunt Camille sat down and immediately wanted to get into her eggs. How did she know there was candy inside? This girl can pick out sweets anywhere! She enjoyed 1 chocolate egg and Clayton and I have enjoyed the rest!

On Saturday evening, most of Clayton's family came to town. We missed Adrian, Lisa, Asia and Titus! His parents and sister's family came for a quick trip. We were so excited to have them come stay with us! We enjoyed dinner together on Saturday night, church together on Sunday and then lunch at our house before they headed back to Austin. Camille loved having her cousins Isaac and Ian here to play with.

Tour of ACU

Camille and I went to Abilene this weekend with my good friend, April. Camille and I stayed with my sister and had SO much fun. We drove in Friday night and Camille took about an hour long nap in the car. She woke up 20 minutes outside of Abilene and was NOT happy. Once we got to Aunt B's house, she was good to go until 10pm! I thought, "Oh, this is great! She'll sleep in in the morning and we won't wake all her roommates up!" But that isn't how it worked. She still woke up at her usual 7am ready to go for the day. We enjoyed some Jason's Deli, Old Navy, Target, Hobby Lobby and ACU! It was such a pretty day so we took Camille up to ACU to run around and enjoy the weather. Camille decided to give us a tour of ACU so we took her picture along the way.

Jacob's Dream - this is an awesome addition to ACU! There are great places to spend quiet time, a pool of water for baptisms and a great place for pictures!

This is in front of the new Education Building. There are these adorable children all around. Camille was really enjoying the book! Notice how she has her hand on the little girl...so cute! And...I was just to the left of the picture with hands ready to catch her with any sudden move!
Sweet dog! Somehow this is the ONLY picture I got from the weekend with my sister in it! We loved spending time with you ALL by ourselves! We gave been trying to get Camille to call her Aunt B and it has been coming out Bebe.
She's already ready for some campus mail!
Celeste was my AWESOME assistant for 2 years while I taught in Abilene. Her and her boys came up to play and chat for a little bit. It's always so good to see old friends! Our good friend, Thompson, had a baby shower on Sunday. This was the true reason that brought us to Abilene...it was just nice to have a sister to spend time with while we were here! I didn't take pictures so those are coming soon (from everyone else's blog).

S-N-O-W!

I can't believe this! I went to school with a denim jacket on today. I had no idea it was supposed to be like this! It was sleeting quite a bit when Camille and I came home and snowing a little. But, it is coming down big time now! Camille and I bundled up and went out for a few minutes for pictures. We don't even have a hat or mittens that fit her right now so we didn't stay long. Here are some pictures! We sure wish Daddy were home with us to play right now!
