A busy Easter weekend!

This weekend was a very busy one for Gage and I. We made a quick overnight trip to Dallas on Friday night to see family, daddy/hubby and to attend Maggie and Ella's first birthday on Saturday. We drove down on Friday afternoon. Gage was great in the car, but refused to take a nap on our three hour journey so that was no good! When we got there, we played outside on the basketball court the hotel had. It was good for Gage to stretch his legs. Then Friday night we got to see Daniel for a little while. He has been working in Decatur Texas for the last three months (two weeks on, two weeks off) so it was so nice to get to see him, only if it was for a couple hours.
After a very rough night of sleep Friday night (Gage does not do well in pack in plays) we headed to Maggie and Ella's First Birthday. I was worried that Gage was going to be so grouchy because he had not had a nap that day either, but he did ok. We got to see Sarah, which was very exciting since it was the first time to see her with a belly. You make pregnancy look amazing Aunt Sarah! The Hansberger family can't wait to meet little Lincoln in a few months. We had to leave a little early to get back on the road back to Oklahoma but it was a very fun filled, quick visit.
Sunday morning, Gage and I awoke to the sight of Easter eggs around the house. The Easter Bunny definitely stopped by our house. Gage opened his basket and hunted for his eggs, then it was off to church. I am so sorry Daniel had to miss this very fun day, but we can't wait to see him in two days! Yay! Now to relax and enjoy this beautiful day and play with some of Gage's new toys! Oh, and the last couple of pics are of him eating his first Resse's Peanut Butter Egg. He obviously didn't like it at all! Hehehe!

Easter Play date!

This Monday, Gage and I hosted an Easter play date at our house. We invited 9 little friends to the house for some fun Easter activities, food and even an Easter egg hunt. A few of our little friends couldn't come but we ended up having 6 little boys running around the house. I set up 3 different stations in the back yard, a water station, riding toy station, and tent and activity station. (I unfortunately didn't take many pics of these.) I think they had lots of fun. We then took a break for some yummy food. We quickly ate and then it was out to the front yard for our Easter Egg Hunt. Some of the older boys really understood finding the eggs and some needed a little help from their mommas. All in all we had a wonderful day. I know Gage had so much fun, because he took a two hour afternoon nap that day. Here are some of the best pics we got of the day. Thanks for coming friends!

Hunting for Easter Eggs!

Gage found one!

This was one of the best pics we got of the boys!

Gage saw and airplane so he was over the pics.

A Day at the Zoo!

When Daniel was home from his two week stint on the drilling rig, we spent lots of family time together. One of our outings was to the OKC zoo. They have a new childrens part of the zoo where you get to pet fun farm animals and play in different water features. Gage loved the water but was not a fan of the animals being so close. He loves animals and is fine with them from afar, but when we got close to them, he clung to his daddy. I didn't take many pics that day but here are a few from our visit.

Doesn't he look so big!

I know I am way behind on the blogging so I will try to catch up this week. Daniel was home for the last two weeks so we were able to do lots of fun things as a family. We were outside playing in the backyard and I was looking at my son and seriously thought, "He isn't a baby anymore!" He looked so big and he is ALL boy. He was picking up sticks and putting them in his dump truck and pushing it around. It is amazing how fast they grow and how quickly they learn.

The Wheels on the Bus!

Gage loves the Wheels on the Bus song and tries so hard to rotate his hands one over the other to show the wheels moving on the bus. (You guys know how the motions to the song go.) Here he is trying his best! (Sorry for my singing at the end!)

Some recent Spring pics!

Yesterday we went back to our same park we go to at least once a week. Last time we were there I noticed the daffodils were really starting to bloom, so before we left today I grabbed a nice shirt for Gage and a few Easter Eggs to maybe use in a few pictures. I was going to attempt to get Gage to take a few pics in the pretty flowers. Turns out, he was a lot more cooperative then I thought he would be. I got quite a few cute pics. I took tons but I will just post my favorites.

Showing off some of my Tricks!

Here is a video I took a couple days ago of Daniel and Gage being silly. (Sorry about Daniel's belly!) Gage now loves to spin around and do "Ring around the Rosie", so I was able to catch that on video as well as him showing off a couple other things. The end is kinda boring!
