Easter and Las Cruces Fun

So, here's our family Easter pic...finally. We had a wonderful service with the most amazing music and Pastor brought the Gospel. Afterward we had lunch with several families who don't have any family living in town. There were two other kids Nellie's age for her to play with.
Before church.
Hi sweet girl!

I took a few pics in her dress but then we changed clothes before she started her egg hunt. There was way too many goatheads and stuff to get filthy in.

Look Dada I found an egg!!! Cody helped take Nellie around find eggs filled with goodies like organic, natural gummie treats...mmmm!
By the end Nel was so pooped. This was way past her nap time. I picked her up and cuddled her for about 30 seconds and she CRASHED!
One more family pic before church.
Nellie got in to the kitchen stuff and plopped herself down in this casserole dish and put a bowl on as a hat. She still loves to sit in boxes, under cabinets, or small areas.

She also learned how to "knock" and even say "knock." She has learned SOOO many new words and everyday she repeats a new word I say. (note to self: must remove "crap" from my vocab ASAP)

This is a dress my friend Chrissie help me make. I also made Nellie a pillowcase dress. Pics to come of that one. It was so fun to pick the material and ribbon to make these. Made me want a sewing maching...but not bad enough to actually get one. I'll just borrow my friends :)
Here's the back view. It buttons at the top of the shoulders.

The other day I wanted to clean her seat and I put it in the tub with her and she sat right down in it to play the whole time. I think this is a funny picture!
Fun spring outfit!
We took a trip down to Las Cruces to let Cody get in some extra work before the end of tax season. We had a playdate with Nellie's friend Macey. Getting ready to go on a wagon ride.
Hello Mama's!
Macey ended up wanting to walk. It was rough pulling her downhill in this thing.
Brianne, Macey and us.
Checking out the dogs and talking about life and politics and who just went "poo poo."
Speaking of poo poo, Nellie will sometimes tell me when she went poo poo. Or I'll ask her and say "Nellie did you go poo poo?" And she responds "Itsa poo poo" as she reaches down for her diaper.

Ending on a very good note, tax season is over!!!! Cody can now come home at 5:30 and doesn't have to work weekends. Stay tuned for our celebration adventure to Tinkertown, Santa Fe, and the Isotopes game.
