James is 4! Birthday Party (Part 1)

I can't believe my sweet boy, James Peyton, is 4 years old! Where does the time go? We had fun with family in town and celebrating his birthday at Pump it Up. The boys spent the night at the hotel with Papa John and Nana Sandra the night before the party. Sean went to pick them up and they all drove over to Pump It Up together. It was one of those mornings that I had everything organized and was actually early! Nanie and I arrived at Pump It Up 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Well, the guests begin to arrive and the birthday boy was not there yet. Needless to say I was frantically call Sean wondering where they were? They were stuck in traffic and although it seemed like forever they were only ten minutes late. James did not even notice and had a great time celebrating his birthday with his friends!

Easter 2013

Nanie and Aunt Lea came to visit for Easter from San Antonio and Austin! They picked up Ellie on their way through Waco. On Saturday we went to the club for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt. On Sunday we went to church in the morning and had lunch at Pappasito's afterwards. It has become our new Easter tradition. This is the third year in a row that we have fajitas after church at Pappasitio's and we love it. The Easter bunny was walking around the restaurant but Michael wasn't too sure about her (yes it was a her this year instead of a him!) He felt the same way about the bunny we saw at the club on Saturday too.

The night before Easter James asked me so many questions about Jesus and the true meaning of Easter. I had tears in my eyes as I explained the best I could. He has been learning so much in Sunday school, coming home and singing songs, and asking many questions. I need to get him a children's bible! His birthday is coming up at the end of April and I think it will be one of his gifts. He also asked me how the Easter Bunny gets in our house. I was caught off guard and said the Easter Bunny has a magic key to everyone's house who has been a good boy or girl! James then asked if the police would arrest E.B. while trying to get in the houses. Our boy is too smart! Ha! I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
