Easter Sunday and more.....

Hello everyone...

pics below are from Easter Sunday and other fun times.

We have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us. We are traveling to Michigan next weekend for the beginning of May...and Braydon's first official Tulip Time in Holland, MI. Should be fun. Brett has a meeting at Calvin, so we decided to make it a family trip. Hard to believe, but we have not been back to MI since Christmas! WOW! Then....we come back..to finish packing up our house...because the moving truck and men will be here bright and early on May 13th to move us exactly 4 miles north of our current house. Grandma and Grandpa Kidder are coming out to assist, and to help with last minute details. Should be a busy weekend, but we are excited.

As for Baby Bolt...we are now in our 15th week, and baby has started to ease up on me....no more getting sick, and starting to feel somewhat normal again. Anyone want to take bets as to if this one is a girl? We will start to send belly shots soon, and hopefully I will pop out in the next month or so...as for now, I have no change in my physical appearence and only a gain of 1lb. not bad.

Enjoy your weekend. Pics of the house are coming! :)

bruce decided that braydon's easter basket was an excellent place for him to sleep

our tie-dyed easter eggs

just chillin on the couch

oops..caught in the act. over the last month, braydon has taken to climbing anything and everything that he can. as you can imagine, and real challenge when packing a house up, and all the boxes everywhere. :)

we had a nice long visit from Grandma Kidder in April.....she helped mommy out around the house, and got lots of time to play with Braydon.

Church on Easter Sunday....the sun was a bit bright.

happy about the treats left by the easter bunny...

gummy life savers! :) yummy

Visit to Florida

playing in the Tampa Airport kids playland. We had a great trip to Florida. Brett had a conference the first part of the week, and the rest of the time was a family vacation. We spent a lot of time by the pool, outside and ended with a nice day at Busch Gardens. It was nice to be in the warm weather and to be out in the sun with shorts and sunglasses on. No more trips planned as of yet, but a possible trip to Michigan the first weekend of May.

riding the kiddie train..he would not look at us during this ride, but was smiling for the majority of it.

a very tiny alligator.

all tuckered out....

mommy and braydon on the dragon ride

playing in the pool in a inflatable airplane..

playing with daddy in the pool

look mom..i am driving! he loved this ride at Busch Gardens, no fear of being by himself at all...just all smiles as he went around the track.

this pool was great...a huge section was only 1ft deep...perfect for someone his size, and a little more relaxing for mom...as she was able to sit and watch him play..

Busch Gardens....we had a great day, saw a lot of animals, rode on a train, walked a lot and discovered that Braydon has little fear of the kiddie rides.

Visit from Grandpa and Grandma Bolt

pretty flowers. We had a great visit with the Bolt's. We went to the zoo, out for crabcakes to celebrate Grandpa's birthday, and they were so nice in helping us to clean up our house for our first open house....which was a success. (side note: our house had sold...sold in one week. we are excited). We also spent a lot of time outside playing in the yard, it was 70 degrees that weekend, and Braydon...in true boy nature...loves the dirt, sticks, and the outdoors.
