One of the best restaurants in Littleton is called NoNo’s. I went there with Daddy, Mommy, Aunt Stacey and Amy for lunch the other day. I never really get to order what I want, but I have fun with the menu. Mommy thought I’d eat her shepherd’s pie, but I was much more interested in Stacey’s gumbo and Daddy’s Jambalaya. Spicy, but oh, so good!

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY GRANDMA SUE! We went to lunch for Grandma Sue’s 80th Birthday on Sunday after church. She was not only surprised by the Pandora bracelet charms she got, but was super excited that Uncle David flew in to celebrate with her. I love you Sue!

Mommy decided that when she’s done with Liam’s blanket she is going to make a blanket for me too. She went to Colorful Yarns to exchange some of the colors that she doesn’t need for Liam’s blanket and get some for mine. My blanket will be “Brown and…” too, but it will be all pinks and oranges for the “and” colors. Here we are, waiting on Aunt Stacey to make a decision on her yarn purchase of the day. Here I am making my surprise face and trying to keep the jellybean that I have in my mouth in there.

Mommy and I spend a lot of time together. She takes me lots of fun places and we do special projects together. Today we drove a long way to Arvada to her friend Lauren’s house to do something special. I can’t talk too much about it, because it is sort-of a secret, but here are a couple of pictures. After we finished our project I played a little bit with Ella, Lauren’s daughter and then we went to Family Night at the LeadTime/Shelterwood property in Westminster where we met Daddy and Papa.

Today Mommy and Daddy went to get a 3D/4D ultrasound. I wasn’t really sure what that was, but they came home with these awesome pictures of my baby brother who isn’t even born yet. Here he is with his mouth wide open, yawning. I think it is so funny that these pictures of him are while he’s still in Mommy’s tummy. These are pictures that you can see him playing with his little lips – it looks like he’s pushing his lips out in the first one and then sucking on his bottom lip in the second one. Here he looks like he’s smiling. I can’t wait to see him in person and give him hugs and kisses.

OK, did you see the pictures of me from yesterday with the little tank top on? Today I wore overalls, a jacket and my tennis shoes all day. It was cold! I also had to wear the bunny ears that Grandma Silvey sent me for Easter. I wore them almost the whole time I watched Nemo this afternoon.

When I am working on something, I’m very serious about it. Kind of like Mommy at work and Daddy when he has a paper for school. My work is a little different, but no less important… COLORING! As you can see I have to choose just the right page and then dump all the colors out so I can get just the right color. It is very important work and must be done very seriously. When Daddy got home from work today he read to me, one of my favorite times with him! I love my Daddy lots.

Uncle Buddy sent Mommy these pictures from Easter. They look so cute; I can’t wait to see them in May when they come visit. I especially like this picture of their dog Oreo with the bunny ears on. He was really getting into the Easter thing, I guess. They also sent pictures of “dance” they went to. They got to ride in a limo and it looks like they were having a lot of fun. I wish they could bring Oreo with them. He looks like he has as much fun at the dog park as I do at the kid park.

Easter Day started out with breakfast and getting dressed in my new dress from Nanny. Then, we went to Gram and Papa’s house and I got to eat donuts, “dough-dough’s” as I call them. Here I am with Daddy doing my surprise face with a mouth full of dough-dough. Mommy and Daddy look so nice together. I love them! Here are all the girls getting ready to leave for church. “Oopies, sorry,” I need my diaper changed before we can go. Papa got a great picture of my cute, cute smile. At church I saw my friends Ellie, Kiki and Grace. Here I am with Kiki and Grace after church. I always have so much fun with them. After church I got to open my Easter baskets. Grandma Sue got me some stuff and the best part was throwing all the green grass all over Gram’s TV room. Man, that was fun! Before we ate lunch we had an Easter egg hunt in the back yard. Gram hid 47 Easter eggs just for me. Every time I’d find one, I got super excited and took off running for it. You can see my skirt flying in one of these shots. I found them all! Then Gram had hidden camouflage eggs in the front yard for Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Stacey. They had candy or money in them. Even though Stacey found the most and Daddy found the fewest, Daddy got the most money. Lunch was good. Mommy made individual egg-shaped Jell-O salad molds for everyone and Ray Lynn joined us for the meal. I was so worn out that I couldn’t get into my nap, so I didn’t take much of one once I got home. I also didn’t want to take my dress off even when it was time to take a bath and go to bed. Easter was certainly fun this year.

Today I decided I wanted to wear Mommy’s apron from the kitchen. When she asked me to stand by the wall to take a picture, I decided to be cooperative.
