Easter Weekend Part 2

I noticed on Part 1 that I left out what we did Saturday evening after we left Alvin. We took the kids to cousin Trey and Megan Smith's house to decorate Easter eggs! He had hamburgers and hot dogs and just had some family fun hanging out. We took easter eggs to color and dye, but Kayla and Cooper were not really into to that yet, so mommy had fun doing it! I love hard boiled eggs, so I didn't mind doing it by myself. I didn't get any pictures of any of that, but I did get some when we got home and gave the kids their Easter baskets from mommy and daddy. See pictures and Video below.

Easter Sunday morning Daddy had to go to work at the Fire Station so mommy and the kids met Nana Davis at Sagemont church. After church mommy drove to the fire station to let the kids see daddy for a little bit. They loved that of course! They get so excited when they see their daddy even if it was for just a little bit. After visiting daddy we drove over to Nana and Pops' house to have lunch and just hang out. The kids got a good nap in and then they played for a little longer! They colored and played with all the toys. They then got their Easter baskets from Nana & Pops. Kayla's had a bunch of coloring stuff and side walk chalk and Cooper's had army men, trucks and a plane!

They got so excited when they saw the orange and apple in the basket too. Funny kids!!






Kayla was saying "CHEESE" and she always puts her head back when saying it!
We wished daddy could have been in the picture with us this year! :(


Cooper's Easter basket had a hat as the bottom and Pops put it on for Cooper! HAHALook closely, this is what happens when you give a two year old a sheet of stickers! Silly Turkey!We took the kids down to the lake area so that they could feed the ducks! They love to see the ducks and they got to have a bag of food to feed the ducks. They get out there and call the ducks and say "Quack Quack". We also saw the turtles that came to eat as well. I counted at least 15 turtles and there may have been more! There were only two ducks this time and across the road in the other lake we did see a mommy duck with her ducklings walking right behind her. It was very cute to see that!Uncle Landon with Kayla!Landon's girlfriend Valerie with Cooper!Aunt Lexis with the kids!Kayla is one brave girl. She has no fear! She got right to the edge and didn't understand why we were all telling her to get back.

The kids had such a wonderful Easter. We were sad that daddy couldn't be with us on Easter Sunday, but we were glad that we at least got to go visit him at the fire station.

On a sad note, the Houston Fire Deptartment lost 2 fire fighters in the early morning hours on Easter Sunday morning during a house fire. As more information comes in we learned that the fire just got to strong and all the fire fighter were called out of the house, but sadly these two men did not make it out. The captain was with HFD for 29 years and was about to celebrate 30 years in the department. He was a husband, father and grandfather and was only 50 years old. The rookie had only been with HFD for a little over a month. This was his first fire since joining HFD and sadly it would be his last. He was 29 years old and Larry actually graduated from Alvin High School with him in 1998. He served his country in the military and came home to serve as a fireman. We pray for the families for these two men and pray for peace and comfort as the families are dealing with the loss of there loved one. We also pray for the fire fighters that these men worked with as they are there second family and I can't imagine how they are feeling knowing there men were in that house and they could not do anything about it at the time! It just became to dangerous for all.

Please pray for all of the Houston Fire Department as they deal with this tragedy!

Over all we had a very nice weekend for Easter and we were glad that the sun came out Sunday afternoon for the kids to get to go outside and feed the Ducks!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well and Hope your week is blessed!
