Easter Day was a great day, except for the fact that my life is consumed with studying endless hours. It has been a hectic past 2 weeks with test, after test, after test. So I spent most of my Easter weekend STUDYING and STRESSING!
Jayla was super spoiled from all her grandparents. She received a package from her Grandma and Grandpa Skorstad on Friday. She shook the presents around so much that she ended up opening them before Easter. I told my mom to send dresses, because they are more manageable with her walking. She picked out the cutest and I can't wait to put her in them.
On Friday morning she also got an Easter Basket from "Nana" and "Papa" Garrett. They went all out with some very cute things.
Then came Easter morning. I was shocked at how much the Easter bunny spoiled her. New clothes, shoes, swim suit, pool toys. The list goes on and on. I don't remember the Easter Bunny bringing me all that good of stuff ;)
Easter morning she got a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Riley and Great-Grandma & Grandpa Morris. They brought goodies as well. Great-Grandpa is trying so hard to get Jayla to love him. She is a little frightened of him. You can see in the picture below she was trying to keep her eyes on him. ~She will come around Grandpa :)~ I know she loves you deep in her heart!
Jayla hanging with her favorite person lately "Bam-pa". She started saying Grandpa this past weekend. Of course Grandpa Riley was the first to hear it and we were a little skeptical of this. We wanted to believe it and we were just gonna go along with it to make Grandpa feel good, but then Easter morning I heard her say it several times. BAMPA. She also started saying Papa for her Grandpa Garrett. We pulled up on Monday morning and she pointed to their house screaming PAPA. The list goes on with what she has started saying lately.
Her first Easter egg hunt at her Aunti Kendal's house (my cousin). She was good at finding them and going over to pick them up, but she didn't want to put them down in the basket. So as you can imagine, she only ended up with 2 eggs because she only has 2 hands. Silly girl!
Walking everywhere now. She ended up with 2 walking injuries that day. I was at her side every second after these injuries. I'm so over-protective. How do I get past this?! Have another baby right?!
Yep crazy kiddos went swimming. The pool water was freezing. I forget when you are that young it doesn't matter. We decided to keep Jay in the hot tub (again over-protective). Plus there was know way I way jumping in after her if something was to happen. Okay maybe I would have, but I wasn't taking those chances!
She loved it. Which was no surprise, she is definitely a water baby!!
Jayla and her cousin Sorella. Sorella is such a little sweetheart. Jayla followed her everywhere.
Sorella giving kisses 
This picture melts my heart. He is such a good daddy and looks so good with 2 girls on his arms.
My precious Jay
This picture was the night before Easter. Mommy had to do most of the coloring. I think Jay wanted to drink the dye rather than color the eggs. Maybe next year?!
Thank you to Brad and Kendal for a great day. We had so much fun and as always it was so good to see everyone. Thank you for the amazing food. You guys did a great job. MMMMM, I am still thinking of that yummy carrot-cheesecake. I got to get that recipe from you, Aunti Marsha.
It was also nice to see Kevin, Tracy, and the kids, well minus Chase. I sure hope he is feeling better.
We love you guys.

GEEEEEZ, Put a swimsuit on that kid!!! HAA HAA- just teasin' you. That was pretty funny to see naked little girls in the pool, though.
Cute pics, and I think it will be so much cuter at times like Easter- seeing Camden cruisin' around & being more involved in the festivites.
By the way, you would feel MORE comfy with Jay in the pool if she joined Camden at her Swim School!?
I was waiting for this post! YAY! Love little Jay in her pretty dress! Her mommy has good taste!
On to the word "Grandpa", that is one of Lola's favorite words, and I swear that is what she calls a cell phone (along with her grandpa's)! My mom gets so mad that she says grandpa instead of grandma! I tell her it will come in time!
Cute pics! Love the ones in the hot tub with the belly hanging out! Love ya!

holy crap, it was like christmas all over again for jay! ha! lucky girl. i didn't even get the kids anything for easter, i figured since they don't even know the difference still anyway then i can get away with it.
and you are sooooo having another girl. your brother took all the boy genes and you got all the girl ones.
miss jayla looks cute in her easter dress. it's so much better now to have dresses on her, huh? i wasted so much money buying kylee dresses and then her knees would catch in them and pull the neckline down. i'm sure you know what i'm talking about. and personally, i think the clothes for girls are much cuter when they get out of infant clothes anyway.
happy 1st easter jay!
