Easter 2011

We had a really nice Easter this year.  The festivities started on Saturday morning with the egg coloring.  We colored two dozen eggs and then finished them off with stickers.  Hayden really enjoyed it but later discovered that do not taste nearly as good as he was expecting.

Not sure what was going on in this next picture but since Matt was behind the camera there's no telling:

Sunday morning we did Easter baskets as soon as Hayden woke up and we were able to drag Matt our of bed 30 minutes later.  I put together an Easter basket for Matt as well, just for fun, and hid them both in the drier for them to find.  I think Matt was anxious for Hayden to hurry up and find them so he could dig in!  He ate is entire caramel-filled milk chocolate bunny in one sitting.  With a glass of coke.  Needless to say he was not feeling very well a few minutes later.

Nothing like capturing some good-morning faces on camera!

Videos to come later...

Golf and More Golf!

Last week Matt bought Hayden his first "real" golf club from Golf Galaxy.  They wasted no time putting it to good use; that afternoon Matt took Hayden to the driving range to use it for the first time and Hayden spent almost all weekend in the back yard practicing his swing.  He even ended up with some pretty bad blisters on his thumb and index finger.  After a few days' break, though, he is back in action!  It will be interesting to if his enthusiasm continues.

Here is Hayden with his "coach" in the back yard.

Anniversary

March 11 of this year marked 5 years since Matt and I said "I do."  Our actual anniversary weekend turned out to be busy and since Matt's mom was coming for a visit at the end of March we decided to wait until she was here to celebrate.  We finally got to go out this past Friday.  We went to Cottonwood Grille in Boise and had a fabulous dinner.  I would highly recommend it to anyone who lives in the area.  We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather that day so we sat on the patio and saw the sunset while we were eating.  They were not really seating anyone out there after we arrived so we pretty much had it to ourselves.  A very nice time indeed!  A big thanks to Nancy for letting us get away while she was here.

We took only one picture that evening.  I was almost 26 weeks pregnant that day.
