Easter Weekend 2011

And what a weekend it was! Jackson and I left for Tulsa on Thursday. It was the first night we've spent away from the daddy.  We certainly missed him but made due. :) On Friday, Jackson and I headed over to visit Toni and Dylan. We hadn't seen each others babies since Christmas so it was no surprise the changes that had occured in 4 months.  Dylan is a walking fool and Jackson isn't quite a prisoner of the floor anymore! Toni and I had a wonderful time catching up and watching the boys. We went to Bass Pro to see the Easter Bunny but someone told Toni the wrong times so he wasn't there yet. So we went to Uncle Buck's Grill to get a bite to eat...have I mentioned I'm more hungry these days than I was when I was pregnant?!?! We split a yummy chicken quesadilla and then waited for a break in the thunder storm to run to our cars and head out. Here are some of the pictures from our day together. (crisp pictures courtesy of Ryan's super awesome camera; you can tell which ones are mine!)

On Saturday, we met Ryan, Toni and Dylan for an Easter Egg hunt at The Assembly church in BA. There were 35,000 eggs, yes you read that right...35 thousand! And thank goodness too.  After our age groups hunt, Jackson only made out with 2 eggs.  I didn't even realize the little girl swiping eggs from under him! Regardless we had a great time and even got a picture with the Easter Bunny. After the hunt we went to lunch with The Smith's at Chick-fil-A...yummy.

After lunch we headed to the Green Country Open House. It was a lot of fun to go out and support Jared and his motorcycle shop. We hung out with all our friends and got to see Derek Cook do some really cool (and scary) tricks. Bev and Marla got to see Jackson for the first time as well so that was really fun.

Later that evening, we went over to Nana and Papa's house to dye some Easter eggs with the girls. Jackson wasn't all that interested.  Next year will be a blast for sure.

On Easter day, we had lunch at the Curry's house. It is always so great to see everyone together and of course they love seeing how much Jackson has grown.

We also had lunch at Nana and Papa's house. Grandma and Grandpa Sparkman and Aunt Rogena couldn't believe how big and strong Jackson was getting.

We had a wonderful time spending the weekend with our friends and family. We definitley packed in a lot of activities! While we love spending time with everyone in BA, we were certainly glad to be home after such a crazy weekend!
