"The Easter Bunny Talks!!!"

We had a pretty great Easter. The "Easter Bunny" made a scavenger hunt for each boy to find their Easter Basket. Luke had to read his own clues to find his basket.

Austin's school hosted an Easter party for the kids. Jensen almost hyperventilated when he saw the Easter Bunny walk in. The boys ran up to him. Luke was very surprised that "the Easter Bunny talks!" Pretty fun.





Gotta love those big, beautiful blue eyes, incredibly long eyelashes, sweet, soft baby skin, red little lips, cheery cheeks, precious little baby smell and to top it off, she loves to have her tongue sticking out. She is so cute!







Every year for Easter my mom makes these adorable and delicious bunny cakes. They seem simple enough: cake and icing. Ours were a total and completely flop. It was awful and embarrassing. Luke was my helper and we were both pretty frustrated. I was sure that Austin would be able to make it work, but no such luck. We ended up eating a mess of cake and icing. Next year I'll get instructions from my mom.


Austin volunteered for the job to bone the ham after Easter dinner. He had a little too much fun with it, disecting every part and telling the kids and me the name of each bone and artery and I don't even understand all of what he told us but he was very into it. He's such a smart guy.


Luke's new favorite Sunday activity is to go through the ads and write down things he wants to buy: My Little Pony, Graco, Chuck, Marvel, Pony...he's got quite a list after a few weeks!


Typical self-portrait by a mom who is the designated family photographer so no one ever takes a picture of her....except herself. Happy Easter Heather.



The kids love to play Memory. I really enjoy it too, though I don't enjoy when Jensen sets it up. He places the squares in a long line where some of the squares are on top of others, and some squares you have to walk to in order to turn them over. Definitely adds a different element to the game though.






Austin finally getting what's been coming to him...
