Happy Easter

We had a very relaxing Easter Weekend. We played outside a lot of the time. Payten is really getting into riding her jeep. She is an expert driver now. It took her a long time to figure out how to steer the wheel. Now she is a pro. She just takes off....there is hardly any traffic on our rode so it is nice that she can drive around in the street. Easter day we hid Easter eggs in the back yard. We filled all the eggs with Starburst jelly beans. Payten was really excited to see what was inside of the eggs. She loves her Easter basket too. She has been taking it with her everywhere. She had so much fun finding the eggs in the back yard. We have about 50 Easter eggs strung around our house. She has been enjoying playing with them. After we played outside for a couple hours I started feeling sick to my stomach. Matt had the stomach virus last weekend and I thought that I was lucky enough to not catch it....well I guess I wasn't that lucky! I threw up about 15 times yesterday and then into last night. I thought I wasn't going to make it! :) Praise the Lord I got through....I feel better. My stomach still aches a little bit. Hopefully I will wake up tomorrow feeling 100%. There is nothing worse then having a temperature and feeling achy all over. I hope everyone had a better Easter day than I did!! Here is a picture of Payten and Daddy. Payten is soooo blessed to have a Daddy like Matt. Everyday Payten always asks for her Daddy and is so excited to see him when he comes home. When I was sick he entertained her the entire day and they slept together upstairs in the game room while I was downstairs not feeling so well. :) Matt is always so patient and loving to her. Thanks Matt for being such a wonderful Dad.

Saturday night we all got dressed up and went to the Easter service at Second Baptist Church. It was so nice to actually go to a church service. Since I work at the church on Sundays I don't get to go to a church service. I really enjoyed sitting next to Matt and listening to a really good message. Payten was so excited to wear her Easter dress. She begs me all the time to wear it. She didn't want to take it off that evening. I think she would live it the dress if I would let her. She is so funny. The other night we kissed her good night and closed the door. We heard her making noise....Matt went down stairs to see what she was up too.....she was in her closet taking all her clothes off of the hangers and playing dress up. The next morning she came and woke me up and she had a skirt on over her pj's. She is constantly getting into my jewerly and makeup ALL the time. She is a true girly girl!
