Happy Easter!

I really cannot believe that it is Easter already! It came really early this year and I didn't even have time to decorate. Easter is one of my favorite holidays, I guess it's because Easter usually means the arrival of Spring and no more deary days. However, that doesn't seem to be the case this year. It was beautiful yesterday, but today it's gloomy and raining.

We celebrated Easter at home this year. We didn't even cook this year, we ordered a dinner from Bob Evan's and picked it up. Braydon was so excited when he got up hoping that the Easter Bunny had come. He wasn't disappointed! The Easter Bunny came with a big basket full of stuff and left lot's of eggs for Braydon to find.

Braydon also got Easter basket's from Nana, Auntie and Bear. He also got a book from Mimi and Poppa. This whole day has been spent wanting all the candy from his basket. I'm just waiting for the crash from his sugar high!

Lowes and a Tow

This weekend started off on a good note. Braydon finally slept in!!!! He has been waking up when the school buses run which is 6:45am each morning. We had to actually go into his room and wake him up at 9:15am. Wish we could have let him sleep but we had a event to be at around 10am.

Lowes offers kid clinics where the child gets a kit of something to build. Braydon has been to one before where he built a monster truck. This weekend he got to build a bird thing the is a chomper. He loves it and loves that he gets to wear an apron and goggles!

Saturday afternoon I finally got my hair done! It had been since August so I was in dire need of a cut and color. My good friend Melissa has a sister-in-law who does hair and she did a great job on mine! However, when we got back to Melissa's house we noticed my car was gone. Apparently I did not park in a guest parking spot and the owner had my car towed. I went and paid the $195 and got my car back. But let me tell you Chris was not happy and I'm really pissed off at myself. Her complex really needs to label the spots better, but that is besides the point.

Sunday was just a day of getting things done around the house and preparing for another winter storm we are supposed to get.

Birthday Parties

Last night Braydon went to a superhero themed birthday party at a inflatable play place. He had a blast and today is telling me he wants to go back. The place is called Pump It Up and they have rooms with inflatables that the kids play on. Everything from slides to obstacle courses! They even had it themed for superheros with activities and gave each kid a superhero name. Braydon got the name Ice Man!

This party made me think about his upcoming birthday and how much parties have changed since he has gotten older. When he was a baby he really didn't have a say so in what we did or who came. Now that he will be turning four he has been telling me all he wants. Just when I think he has settled on a theme he changes his mind. I already started researching Spiderman parties when he said he wants a Jake and the Neverland Pirates party. Let's hope he stays on the Jake one for awhile since I have a lot of cute things planned! Now to plan the guest list and food!

Yes we are here!

I know I have neglected this blog. There has been so much going on that I kept putting the blog aside to work on other things. Then when I had the time to blog my computer kept acting up and I had to install new software to get it right again.

So with all that solved I can now tell you what we have been up to since Christmas! We spent the holidays in Chicago celebrating with family. It was the first Christmas that Braydon spent with family besides Mom and Dad! We have been in Sicily for the past Christmases and it was a nice change to celebrate with family.

We spent the next the next two months just going about life being boring! Our first snow storm came in March and Braydon had so much fun playing in it. Next year I have to make sure to invest in snow pants!

Then in March I decided after looking for a job for a year that I would start my own business. I have decided to start my own photography business. I have loved photography since high school and originally planned on majoring in it in college. My website is up and running, and I have my equipment, now I just need to build my profile. I'm going to continue looking for work, but this will keep me busy.You can check out my website at http://kellyhughesphotography.com/Home.php as well as my blog http://kellyhughesphotography.blogspot.com/
