Decorating Easter Eggs!

We dyed and decorated Easter eggs on Sunday. Ryan is going to be busy this week with soccer stuff so we thought we would do it while Daddy was home and could do it with Brayden. We had a good time and Brayden loves watching the eggs turn colors. He can't wait til the Easter Bunny comes and he gets to find the hidden eggs.

Cousin Charlee's Birthday

It was my sweet niece Charlee's birthday last weekend and we celebrated at the Arboretum on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day - sunny and perfect. The kids were running all around so I managed to only take a few photos during cake time. Her cake was precious, perfect for her. Quite yummy too, but I am a sucker for anything with icing :) Happy Birthday sweet girl! Can't believe she is two already.

Easter DIY Project

I was surfing a fun home/children/design website (ohdeedoh) and came across this great Easter craft project and couldn't turn it down. I had to do it this past weekend. It entailed running by Home Depot, grabbing a stackfull of paint sample cards, tracing an Easter egg cookie cutter on each sheet, some cutting, hole punching, stringing and voila! Adorable Easter Egg Banner for our mantle. I thought it turned out cute. :) Here are some photos:

Happy Easter!

Star of the Week

Our sweet Brayden is Star of the Week at school this week! We found out a few weeks ago and were super excited. He has been waiting for this forever. It's fun because he gets to take a poster to school that is hung all week in his classroom and then on Friday of the week he gets to take a snack for the class and his favorite book to be read at circle time. I took a quick photo of him on Monday in front of his poster. He is so proud! (*** Of course, the parents are in charge of making the poster so I was psyched to have a fun, creative project*** Ryan put no pressure on me by telling me it better be the best poster the class had ever seen! :) )

Saturday Playdate

Had a playdate with two of my best friends and their kiddos on Saturday morning. We had a lot of fun - we played for awhile and had donuts and then all headed down to the park down my street. After the park - we then headed to creek to throw rocks. The boys had a blast together. It was also fun to see the baby girls too. Hopefully now that it is getting warmer we can get together more often and have more fun get togethers like we did this weekend. It's really fun watching the boys now that they are older play together and have so much fun. I see the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
