Starting with the beginning of the month we celebrated Easter. Uncle Robert came down to Houston to celebrate the holiday weekend with us and brought cute little Ramsey with him. We had a special birthday party for Dalton at my mom's house that weekend so he could be there with Dalton for a little bit since he wasn't going to be able to make it back down when his actual party was. He got Dalton a baseball bat set that was just ADORABLE. Dalton just loved it and was a natural as soon as he got the bat in his hand. It has recently come to me that my child is OBSESSED with sports. He can tell you every single one of them by name and what you do in that sport like shoot, throw, kick whatever and he knows to say "goal, 2 points, touchdown, or homerun" depending on which one he's talking about too. Not in April but this past couple of weeks in June Chantz has been home with Dalton in prep for the police academy to start and now Dalton is old enough to where when I call to say hey what are you guys doing he says "I want talk mommy" and then when he talks to me he tells me "I play football" or "I play basketball" which is of course telling on Daddy because they are not supposed to be just playing all day on the xbox either football or basketball games hahaha. The other day when he said it I heard Chantz say shhh Dalton don't tell mommy that she'll want us to turn it off. Not that I don' tlike them spending time together I just think that it's not that healthy to sit in front of a tv and play video games all day. Anyways back to Dalton's birthday party he had a great time and of course loved that all the attention was on him, he got presents and got to eat the wonderful cake:):):) He's just like his mommy;)
Of course there's nana tagging along shoving food in Dalton's mouth the whole time hahaha like every other time.
Soon after he came in town we started construction on our HUGE masterpiece our new master bed. I got the plans from Anna and let me tell you these are some of best things I have ever came across. They are super easy directions and fully explained to where even someone like me who has never done a bit of carpentry work in her life can do them. I was so proud that I actually got the courage up to do this and the final product looks great. I don't have any completed pictures just yet because we're still working on the bedroom but they will come soon....You can tell how excited I was to do this project as I am in my heels and work clothes still while cutting wood for the bed. I didn't even eat barely while this was going on I would come home and run right into the garage I was so excited.
On actual Easter Sunday we got up and went to church. I wanted to stick around to let Dalton participate in the Easter egg hunt that they had but Chantz was being super bossy and rushing so we had to leave and go home to get our house prepped for our guests haha. 
Dalton's Aunt Stevi and Uncle Brandon came over to spend Easter with us as well as his Gigi and Paul. We ate plain spaghetti because Aunt Stevi is pregnant and I didn't want to make something that had alot of spice or flavor and upset her baby in her stomach. We all watched the Blind Side together which is one of my favorite movies and we played with Dalton outside with his bubbles bubbles and more bubbles that he got in all of his five easter baskets. 
It was so hot outside but we let Dalton do an easter egg hunt anyways in the backyard which was a ton of fun. Easter was great this year because he was actually able to eat the candy and go and grab all of the eggs and you could tell by looking at his face that he was enjoying it. Despite the heat, Easter was alot of fun this year and very relaxing besides the rushing home from church;)
And this little bug got COMPLETELY spoiled. He got a basket from my Aunt and Uncle, my mom, my other Uncle, Chantz's mom and Paul, Stevi and Brandon, us and the Easter Bunny, plus a whole wardrobe from Gigi:) 
Please don't pay any mind to our horrifying backyard. We haven't had time at this point to go back there and get it all cleaned out but luckily while Chantz has been home in June he's been able to clean it out and get it to grow back and look beautiful again:):)
One week day in April I got a phone call from my babysitter saying that I needed to come pick up Dalton immediatly because her dad was being rushed to the emergency room. Well this was at about lunch time so I couldn't just leave for the day when I had a ton of stuff left to do so I got the bright idea to bring him to work with me after talking to my boss. He actually did awesome but we were having a meeting in the conference room which is directly across my office with all of our "head hanchos" and you can hear through these doors sort of even though mine was shut so I kept telling him shhh shhh don't talk so loud. But he really did do really good and everyone kept saying oh did you know you have a lump growing out of your hip because I was carrying him everywhere with me so it was pretty funny. We only stayed for a couple of hours but when I came in the next day I found all of my photos on my bookshelf messed up and my business cards all over the floor and on the chair in front of my desk and it made me want to just go and scoop him up. So it was nice to have him here and it's nice to see his little pen marks on the one corner of my desk he left to remind me of our times here:):)
I still have to upload some of the pics from the cruise and then I will be able to finish off the month of April and into May. Hopefully then I will be able to keep up more with our blog and memories....

That is nice that you were able to have Dalton at your work and that he did well!
Haha, I had to laugh at the part about Chantz and Dalton playing the video games. So far Joe hasn't introduced his to Logan but I know that as soon as he does it's going to be two against one :p
Great job with the master bed! That's awesome all of the house projects you are always doing!
I'm glad your family had a great Easter!
