Easter Pictures

Brycen Hunter & his easter basket from us... :)

going straight for that trumpet-- it's a bathtoy he has been wanting

he says "i'm in a marching band" hahah i have no idea how he knows what a marching band is!

he was so excited about this (even though he doesn't look like it in this pic)

the love of my life :)

momma's boy!

hunting eggs at mamaw reece's and papaw rick's!

i was running to take a picture of him and he thought i was trying to get his eggs haha!! we laughed so hard :)

my happy boy :)

my mom put money in his eggs b/c i told her he really didn't need all that candy-- he opened egg after egg and then said "where's the candy?" lol

opening his easter bag from my mom and dad

some new clothes from mamaw reece-- she has good taste :) three shirts from gymboree and a cute one from children's place

We had a pretty good Easter. We went to church with my mom since my poor ol' Dad had to work :(. That man is going to work himself to death, I'm quite sure of it. We had supper that night at my parents. Did the egg hunt-- not too hard for B since he is the only grandchild on that side still. He still had fun though I think. Anything w/ Mamaw and Papaw is fun, right? My Grandpa's brother and his wife have been down since last Thurs. helping with my Grandpa. Brycen was so funny, we told him that Uncle Herman was his Great Great Uncle... he kept saying "well my Great Great Uncle Papaw Herman" lol he thinks any guy w/ gray hair should be his papaw :). On Sunday night I got caught up on my brother's scrapbook that I'm doing for him (b/c my mom doesn't like to scrapbook, but wants one for him and to have out at his graduation party and stuff). I hadn't worked on it since Aug. so I had quite a bit to catch up!! Thankfully, he's a boy and doesn't like to take many pictures, haha!

So the update on my Papaw... well, on Thursday they said they didn't think he would make it through the weekend. It's Tuesday now and he is still here, but it's pretty much an hour by hour thing. Yesterday they said 24-48 hours. Someone has to stay up around the clock with him and give him some sort of meds every two hours to help keep him resting. Everyone is taking shifts staying up and is pretty tired at this point... watching someone slip away is exhausting- physically and mentally for sure. My grandpa's brother's that live out west are flying in this evening. I am dreading telling Brycen when the time comes. I haven't said anything to him right now, because I think it will be easier for him to understand when it's actually happened. Honestly, this is the part I dread most. I am terrified of his reaction. I know that kids are resilient but he has been through SO much. He is so tender hearted he's just already lost so much in the last two 1/2 months. Somehow, I just hope that he will understand. I pray that God will give us the wisdom and words that he would speak to us. Please remember our family once again in your prayers, these next days/week is going to be tough. My hurt hearts, but we forge ahead, with Heaven in our sights! I honestly can't wait for that day.

Last night we took Brycen mushroom hunting. He was so excited, they said it's all he talked about yesterday at daycare. He kept telling them he was going to go hunt "pinecones" haha :). We didn't find much of anything, but had fun out tromping around in the woods anyway. I think I must be out of shape, because my legs are a little sore today! hehe.

I think everyone knows we had our house for sale awhile back? We had it on the market for about a year... lots of lookers, no buyers. We just decided the timing wasn't right to sell and we refinanced back in January to a much better interest rate, saving us quite a bit of money per month. We said we'd try to sell again in a few years. Well, someone has now contacted us wanting to buy our house. WHAT??!! The guy that owns the field behind our house-- it's his grandson. I know the whole family well, actually his grandpa and my grandma grew up together. We talked about it, and decided just to give him the price we want out of it, and he can take it or leave it. We figured he would back off and we said we'd give him the first chance when we do decide to sell (his family all lives right down the road, so location is key to him). Well, the price must not of bothered him, because he called and is coming to look at it this weekend. Kind of scary, we could be homeless... :) hehe. This isn't really "our timing", but hey, nothing ever seems to go by "our timeline" !! :) He may come and not be interested at all, and that's fine too. Please just keep us in your prayers about this as well. I'll keep ya'll updated.

I think that's about all the updating I have... I'm off tomorrow- and I'm getting my hair done! whoo hoo :)
