The Bozarth Chronicles

We had planned for this party for months and it was everything we dreamed it would be and more! When you have a child and they have a birthday, you want to make them feel so special! It is their day after all. It was a joyous occasion for us as parents because WE MADE IT! We made it through the first year. We made it through sleepless nights, tears from time to time (baby and mama), a couple of trips to the ER, spit up, temper tantrums, diapers (if you know what I mean)...but of course we don't celebrate just the not so fun side of parenting.

We also celebrated that every day of ours begins and ends with this sweet baby boy. We look forward to seeing him so we can see the fun new things he can do everyday. We talk about waking him up when he's asleep because we want to snuggle (although we have tried this before and it goes over like a lead balloon-so never again). We cheer when he does something good, like bringing mommy the book so she can read it to him, or going to sit in his big boy chair, even when eats we just sit and watch him, because he's always so smiley and enjoys eating! This year has been a roller coaster, but one that is high up, because there have definitely been more highs than lows. Parenting is such a rewarding job, and I can't imagine my life without this ONE year old in it 😍.

Our Easter celebrations were nothing short of amazing! We were left at the end of the day with one tired family! As you know from this post, I had way too much fun packing Landon's basket full of super festive goodies. I am sad it's over. It seems the holidays always go by way too quickly! Mike and I were so blessed to be off the day AFTER Easter. I don't like going to work the day after a holiday. I feel everyone needs a day of rest after the holiday, because it's so busy the day of :).

The night before Easter we spent some time rough-housing and dying Easter eggs....I love eves of holidays. There is so much to look forward to! I took only 2 pictures on our Easter eve and originally uploaded them to Instagram. Here they are: Landon was wanting to play with his grandpa and cousins too!

On to Easter day, we went to church at 9. It was packed! After that it was back to my in-laws for some celebrating.

Prepare for some super cute ~~and way too many~~ pictures of my cute little Easter bunny's very first Easter!

So out of all the fin stuff in the basket - take a gander at what his favorite thing was....

THE GRASS, PEOPLE! If I would have known all he wanted was grass, I could have saved a lot of money on his Easter basket. He was obsessed with it...then he did finally get into his basket.

...after the grass-capades of 2013.

And took a look at himself in the mirror with grandma Schumer {I'm almost positive in this picture he was thinking of ways he will pay me back when he's older for putting him in these bunny ears...and leggings....}

Then we came up with the brilliant idea to get the triplets and Landon together for a picture...like they would all jump onto the couch and smile. To put it nicely - it was a shit show. I'm going to share some Easter realness, people. These are the out-takes from that idea. We were missing 9 cousins in this photo. Imagine if we had to coordinate 9 more! Granted, these are the youngest of the 13. I laugh writing about this, we were all laughing and all acting silly behind the camera to try and get all their attention & laughter at once.
