They tried for another solo ride but she still didn't look too steady.

Already thinking about when she can get back on...

Thankfully the first thing she asked to see after her nap was the bunny footprints, not the rabbit.

This picture was taken on Monday while Percy was at work looking for a home for Peter, I walked in the laundry room to check on him and he wasn't in his box. He hadn't made it far but geez the last thing I want in my house is a rogue bunny on the run!

Easter Eve 2011

We were putting Chesley's basket out for the Easter Bunny the night before Easter!

Headed to show Daddy her basket.

It took some doing, but we were able to convince her that she did NOT need to take the fake paper grass out of her basket and scatter it everywhere!

Um, a little help?

Trying for a picture of us but no luck.

Explaining to us who is coming tonight.

She got pretty excited about it.

She is finally accepting that she has to leave the basket there for the Easter Bunny to fill it.

Aunt A's Junior Prom

Chesley wasn't giving us the smile we were looking for so...

Aunt A tickled one out of her and then...

Chesley was on to her and wouldn't get too close again bc she didn't trust her.

Chesley was our look out for Alex's date.

Candy Bandit

Chesley had a Easter Egg Hunt at school and I had been doling out the candy from the plastic eggs a little bit at a time. I had no idea she even knew where I was keeping her stash but she not only found it one afternoon, she managed to pull the basket down off of the counter which is much taller than her, and have a little chocolate party. It's unclear at this time how much Weeza may have acted as an accomplice in this caper but Chesley had chocolate all over her lips and Weeza didn't get sick but did hide from me while Chesley was in time out...

Little Bunnies

I headed up the Easter Egg Hunt at our church this year and I conned Hillary and Pruet into coming, thanks Tilly and Pruet!! We only got one picture of the little egg hunters but it sure is a cute one!!

This is from lunch one day, just needed to be included bc they look so sweet and innocent when I'm pretty sure they were both just running wild through the restaurant and screaming at each other because that's fun. At least they look sweet and their mama's didn't strangle them...

Naptime!

Percy went turkey hunting all weekend, Chesley was a two year old all day...who is more tired?? (Probably mama...)

Hanging with Gammy and Pops

Gammy and Pops celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary on April 6th and what did they want to do that weekend? Have Chesley spend the night, of course. Friday night Chesley spent the night with them per their request, I didn't pawn her off on them I swear! And they had a big time! I got her back on Saturday and then we met back up with them at a party in their honor at their friends' house. It was a big weekend for Baby Girl and she was worn out by Sunday morning! Hope it was a good anniversary Gammy and Pops!


Gammy sent me these pictures and I have no idea what Chesley is 'helping' Pops put together, but I have no doubt that the addition of a two year old and a grandmother with a camera could have only sped the process up!

Since she was taking care of my child on her anniversary I won't comment on Chesley's attire...

Let's go fly a kite!

Later Chesley told me the kite went wheely wheely high Mama, higher dan da barn!

A night with Gammy and Pops wouldn't be complete without a trip to the boat, and they picked her up some new shades on the way!

Chesley was really into to hanging with her Uncle Buck at the anniversary party for Gammy and Pops.

Walnut Grove Chesley

Percy's sister, Casey, and her husband, Buck, had Chesley come spend the night with them at their house in Walnut Grove. I am pretty sure she was in heaven. I mean, look at this child...

Aunt Woo Woo set up a slip and slide for Chesley to play on but I hadn't packed a swimsuit so she just put her in a t-shirt and panties. Well, that was not ok with Miss Priss. She told Woo Woo she could NOT get her bulldog shirt wet! So Casey told her that was fine just take it off. This was music to her ears, she doesn't have much experience running around naked, (I'm sure it's called necked when you're having that much fun!), outside, but she seems to have taken to it pretty quickly.

Yeah, I think she's ok without her bulldog shirt on.

A necked Poppa, (Percy's grandfather), smile.

Just chillin' in the shade with a little juice--in her underwear.

I wonder who wore who out more? Thanks Uncle Buck and Aunt Woo Woo for a great time!!

Chic Fil A

Percy went on a turkey hunting trip for four days with some buddies. So Chesley and I went shopping one afternoon and decided to have Chic Fil A for supper. I was so excited by these new ketchup packets that I took a picture with my phone and emailed it to Percy. I have been complaining about the need for these packets for so long it's ridiculous. I have never understood why they can't put ketchup in the same containers they put my Polynesian in??? I was excited.

Chesley was a very sweet girl and got the play in the play area for a while and since she came out when I asked her to she got to have some ice cream. But when I informed her that we would not be eating the ice cream until we got home she got very quiet. When I looked down at her to see if she had wandered off or something, this is what I saw. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "I'm not happy, Mama, so I'm gonna sit here." Ok then, guess I'll take that over a tantrum.

Baby #2 28 Weeks

Ok, so I've kinda been slacking ont this one but here is Baby #2 at 28 weeks.

I'm pretty sure I didn't look that pregnant with Chesley until around 35 weeks!

William's 2nd Birthday!

William turned 2 on March 30 and we went over to his house for pizza and cake.

He looks a little hypnotized by the flame...

Chesley thought she would have a little taste!

We made her stop and William dug in! Happy Birthday, Will!
