Easter Bunny

Chap met the Easter Bunny last week at Walmart.  He didn't really care one way or the other but the picture is cute:) I don't know if there was something wrong with the camera or the printer but everything is crystal clear except for Chapter.

I'm a Genius:)

Although I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person to ever think of this or to do it I am pretty dang proud of myself.  I've been thinking about it forever, but cutting clothing gives me anxiety, much like cutting too short yard sale pants into shorts for me does.  But with the pressure of Chapter needing something never-before-seen and spring colored to wear for Easter Sunday, I thought that now was the perfect time.  Basically I shouldn't have been procrastinated for so long because I have pulled off way worse than this before!

Chap with Grandpa Cecil

I took Chapter to see his Great Grandpa Cecil the other day it sure was a fun visit.  Cecil will be turning 95 in April and he's Logan's paternal grandfather.  Chapter's middle name came from this line of the family.  Frederick was Cecil's grandfather's middle name too. He also had an uncle named Frederick.  I had better mention that Frederick was also my great grandfather's name on my mom's side.  We loved that it was a name we wanted and it was after two very good men. Cecil's always telling us to remember that his grandpa Benjamin Frederick was the 3rd wagon into St. George when they settled it.  Not necessarily a bad person to be named after, and on my side Frederick was the first person to have a college education and was the superintendent of Garfield County School District.  So basically a very good name.

But I digress.  Chapter liked Grandpa Cecil a lot.  He dept smiling at him and talking.  Cecil like Chapter too and he said he was a fine boy:)  Having Cecil in Chapter's life means a lot to me.  I think it is incredible and wonderful for Chapter to know his Great-Grandpa.  I never even met one of my grandfathers since they both died years before I was born.  That makes if wonderful for me to have Cecil in my life too since he's the only grandpa I've ever had that I knew.  Plus, he's gotta be the cutest old man I've ever seen, and really really with it for a man of his age:) We love you Grandpa!

St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's Day was on a Sunday this year and on Sunday morning we thought we had better live it up since Chapter only gets one first St. Paddy's:)  The only problem was he doesn't have any church appropriate green clothes.  Only some obnoxious green sneaker socks that I don't think he has ever even worn which I suppose could be worn to church, if only they weren't so ugly:)  Then I remembered that I had this pin that I got last St. Patrick's day and he wore it.  Most of the other kids were decked out in green church clothes but the pin saved Chap from getting pinched!  Phew!

We didn't get Chapter anything for St. Patrick's Day (Oh the shame!) but his Grandma's gave him cards and money and treats, you know the usual Grandma stuff.  It was a fun day!

5 Months

Chap is 5 months old!  I can't even believe it!  Yesterday was the first day that we "did" his hair and it was SO CUTE!  He is growing up so fast.  He also scooted backwards in his walker yesterday.  We bought him some oatmeal cereal instead of the rice and it tastes so much better and he eats it really well.  So far he has eaten sweet potatoes, bananas, and pears.  Pears are definitely his favorite, I think he would eat those all day long if we let him:)  He's so cute and happy and he laughs every day now.  We're so lucky to have such an amazing little boy in our home.
