Happy Easter

I'm all about doing lots of activities with the holidays, so we got together with my sister and her kids a few days before Easter and decorated Easter eggs.  Though I know Filip has no idea what is going on and does not care if he participates or not, I love making him do it all anyway.

Rachel's girls were the only ones in her family that wanted to join, they loved it and had fun with all the bold colors.


I have been sending pictures to the grandparents for each holiday.  This is what I came up with for Easter.

He would not stay sitting up long enough for me to take a picture so he ended up laying on the floor.

He loves playing with Easter eggs.

He did not like being in the basket and I could not get him to smile.


Filip was the only one I did an Easter egg hunt for this year.  He loved finding the eggs and trying to grab and pick them up.

Every year for Easter we get a movie, sandals, and I make sure to do an activity type thing in our baskets.  This year we got bubbles.

After Church we decided to head up to first dam and feed the ducks and play with bubbles.

He thought the bubble gun was so cool.

Filip had a hard time giving the ducks the bread, he wanted to eat it instead.

So it has been a very long time sense I posted on my blog.  I have not had the Internet in our home for over 2 years now, but i was bored at work today and figured I would take advantage of their Internet.

Lots of things have happened in our lives over the last couple of years.  Reggie graduated from college over a year ago, which he was very excited to be done.  We both are now just working.  he has recently started a new job at JBS, which is a beef slaughter house here in the valley.  I am now only working one job.  I never thought the day would come that I would only have one job.  I am currently just working at the group home for adults with mental illness,  I miss working with my little preschoolers, but o how it has been nice only working roughly 30 hrs a week.  Why you might ask did I go down to one job, well the answer would be that a little one joined our family.
We found out the end of January 2012 that I was pregnant, and we were thrilled.  Pregnancy sucked for me and it will only ever be seen as a means to a great end in my mind.  There were at times some concerns along the way but we ended up with a healthy and happy baby.

Filip George Cavalier was born on September 29, 2012 at 12:40 am.  he was 7lb 4oz and 20in long.  When he was born he looked as if he had lost a fight, due to the tough delivery to get him here.

As the days went on after his birth the bruises, swelling, and jaundice went away and he was a perfect as could be.
