my FIRST Easter...


"He can move the mountains, My God is Mighty to save, He is Mighty to save, Forever, Author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave..." This is what i repeatedly heard my daddy and mommy humming during this Easter season. it rung in their ears because that was the theme song at our church for this year's Easter services. i think they LOVE that song and more importantly, i honestly believe that they believe it. this is my heritage.

my daddy didn't want any of the Easter bunny or Easter egg stuff for my first Easter so my mommy decided to go ALL out on my Easter outfits (yes...plural). i'm wondering who had more fun, my daddy taking me on my first Easter shopping trip or my mommy dressing me? hmmm...

my daddy ALWAYS makes me smile...

...should i bite my hand now or wait until no one is looking?

see daddy...i can look serious too...

...but not for long.
i love my mommy and daddy!
my daddy's arms are SO buff...COOOOOZZZZZZYYYYYY!
mommy...are you ever going to stop kissing me?
my Easter season fashion show kicked off with this outfit. my daddy was proud of this find because he and i caught a bargain. has my mommy rubbed off on us or what? WHOO HOO!
this is my daddy's friend, john. he didn't see any reason why we shouldn't test out his bike since i was already dressed for it. GO JOHN!
watch the jeans dad!
my auntie shonna and i catching a moment in the cafe after my bike ride experience.
this was my Good Friday outfit. my mommy thought i would go a little preppie after my "born to ride" outfit thursday night.
is someone going to notice me yet?
one more glance at my thursday night outfit...

...okay, two more.
my God-sister chelsea and i posing after sunday morning service. yes...this was my sunday morning church service outfit.
my auntie edith holding me while i pose with my great-grandma shirley. oh! the Easter basket was from my grammy and uncle. i didn't want you to think my daddy renigged...that just doesn't happen.
ms. diane watches and teaches me two days out of the week at her day care. that is her, my auntie heather and i at sunrise service. btw, ms. diane is my auntie heather's mommy. aren't they cute?
our first Easter sunrise family photo. my mommy went a little casual and warm for this outfit of mine for obvious reasons. cute...aren't we?
people at my church just LOVE taking photos! i don't know if you got a good look at my GAP cap so i made sure to bow my head so that you can get a good look.
one of the things that my cousins sedona, micah and i have in common is that we are all miracle kids. not too bad huh? (oh...my auntie edith is still holding me)
victor likes to make me laugh and calm me down when i cry, right now i'm just making sure that he gets a good look at my outfit. my mommy told me to.
my auntie cindy and i have a BLAST together...isn't she just JOYOUS?
my daddy and i look slick huh? that was my after sunday morning service outfit. so far, 99% of the remarks lean toward me looking like my daddy. now you know why...
okay...so who do we have here? let's see...from left to right we have queen riley, then we have connor posin' cool for the camera, then it's grandma mays holding kennedy and i (tough job as you can see) and then miss kaylie with her cute pink outfit. aren't we just a cool bunch?
what is a post on my blog with out my auntie nene doing what she does best - spreading JOY and smiling at the same time...GO AUNTIE NENE!
that's my cousin sedona who caught the camera or did the camera catch her?
my auntie alberta always has something fun or encouraging to say to me. she is my cousin micah and sedona's mommy. i LOVE her calm demeanor...i pray it rubs off on me. (my auntie edith patiently awaits to carry me again. i LOVE the attention!)
after the sunday evening service, my daddy and i caught a moment at my grammy's house to open my Easter basket from her and my uncle. the candy went to my mommy's kids and the rest were books that have now been added to the rest of my collection at home.
look son...more books!
oh and what do we have here...more books!
my daddy wasted no time reading to me. i think i like this one.
my daddy telling me about why he is letting me have this Easter basket when he told my mommy that she couldn't make me one. (got it dad.) my daddy liked the sports theme...good goin' uncle talo!

a "daddy and i" moment...


my daddy and i missed the laker game tonight so when we got home we were sure to catch the highlights. my mommy shot this photo because she KNOWS that we won't budge once my daddy and i are watching anything that has to do with my daddy's teams, which are obviously mine as well.

being that this is march...my daddy and i will be sure to catch our favorite college team during MARCH MADNESS...GO BRUINS!

p.s. i think my mommy wanted others to see what she faces when my daddy and i are watching sports. isn't that something?
