Easter

What a great Easter weekend. Went and did an egg hunt with our cousin's on Saturday morning -- Thanks Hol! Also, got to have a little friendly cousin boxing. . .on the Wii. So much fun!!! Nikolai loved it. . maybe we'll have to get "him" one. :)

Then had Easter dinner Saturday night at the Stinson's (with the Marchants and Stinsons) -- great company and fabulous food. . wish I'd had my camera. Then more great company and amazing food on Sunday morning for Easter brunch at the Virays (with Richelle, Heidi, Barkers, Ellises and of course Virays). Here are the pics I have from the day (and one pics of my niece, Eva -- I think this is my all time fav pic of her -- love the bonnet!!):

1) Almost impossible to get them all looking at the same spot at the same time. Go to Marianne's blog to see Abram and James' attempt. :) It is worth the click.

2) Who doesn't want to eat his brother's head when mom is trying to take pictures?


3) So cute. Nikolai is such a ham.


4) The whole fam.

5) One more cute one of my boys.


6) My all time favorite pic of Eva to date. Isn't she adorable!?!?

So Many Pictures. . .

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the last couple of weeks:

1) Luke crawling all over the lawn during the easter egg hunt. He was more interested in the leaves and grass than the candy - not sure that this can be my kid.


2) Nikolai and Max going through their loot after the hunt.


3) Their expressions were priceless when they realized we were taking pics of them.


4) Luke showing off is new ability to stand up on things. . . I can't wait till he also gets the ability to sit down after standing up. . right now he just squawks until I come and help him.


5) Aren't they cute?


6) Nikolai with his favorite new duck whistle his great grammie Marilyn gave him. Thanks Grammie!


7) Nikolai arm wrestling with Uncle Chris. Nikels loves his Uncle Chris and will often wake up in the morning and tell me that "I miss Uncle Chris mommy."



8) "Two good brothers, two good brothers. . ."


9) Nikolai picking up an egg and eating the inside before putting it in his basket.

The Best Baby Food Ever

I love this baby food and just had to post a link to their site. My mom found it for me one day when she was visiting and this is not your usual nasty squished up food in a jar. I was never willing to taste the stuff I gave to Nikolai. . it looked far too gross (I know bad mommy!). But this stuff smelled so good I thought I'd taste it and it was delish -- more importantly Luke loves it!  And it's more eco-friendly since there are 12 portions frozen onto one tray instead of using a glass jar with every serving. Anyways, there is my plug. . . Enjoy!
