Time to say Goodbye Monster Baby........

.......and Hello to a Terrific Toddler!

On April 10th Timothy officially turned two! He had a bunch of grand celebrations for his birthday. Starting out with opening a few presents at his Great Aunt and Uncle's house on Friday night. Cousin Jake was only too happy to assist in the paper ripping ceremony.


Then they had to remember how to share and play with the new found toys together. Later on we went to Grandma's for a sleep over.



Finally the Big Day arrived. The boys all had fun hunting around Grandma Char's house for their Easter Baskets. Who knew that the Easter bunny would hide them in the bathtub with the shower curtain drawn.


Then it was back over to Aunt Tina's and Uncle Marks where he got his official 2 year old hair cut. And waited for all the cousin's to arrive for a picnic lunch and so we could have the annual Worthen Family Easter Egg hunt Eggs......travaganza.

What a lucky little boy to have his own special day so close to Easter.

You may notice that all the cousin's are here with the egg---seption of the birthday boy. He was worn out and fast asleep. Doesn't he look all grown up with his new haircut?



I think he's definitely a keeper. He keeps us all jumping up and down and running around and his laugh is just so precious. He loves to play with balls, go down the slide and you know everything is going his way when he calls out "ONE-----TWO---THREE----GO!!!!!!!"

Happy Birthday little Guy!

Can't wait to see what we get to do during this next year!

Which Came First?

Well the "egg" has been quite the topic at our house over the past week. Today we colored pictures of decorated Easter eggs to decorate our windows with, and dyed a dozen eggs. I wasn't so thrilled with the mess but their comments certainly kept me chuckling.

Here are some of the "egg" comments from my little Engineer and Comedian:

"Does the baby egg grow up to be a big egg?"

"I don't want to eat the egg but I want to keep it safe in my hands and watch it grow." (carrying around the yolk of a hard boiled egg)

"Look my egg has three eggs, a hard egg, a soft squishy egg, and a cute little baby yellow egg."

"If I put my egg in the blue (dye) will it grow up to be a blue mommy egg?

I think a trip to a farm needs to be in our near future....although I'm a little nervous, my 5 year old wouldn't eat the Thanksgiving turkey because it had bones and a body. Although he eats chicken just fine as long as it comes frozen and boneless. With Easter coming up I'd better not tell him that mutton is really lamb.

I've made arrangements with a friend who raises chickens and sells the eggs to bring the boys by to "help" one day while she is gathering eggs. I think it should be pretty funny to see what their reactions are.
