Easter



Another holiday has come and gone and we are so lucky to be able to spend them with Hayden and our families :)


Easter was so much fun this year, Hayden understood what was going on and really enjoyed all of the goodies the Easter bunny left!


He didn't care what was in the eggs, he just had fun finding all of them! Once he found all of his eggs and placed them all in his basket, he kept saying "more". So we had a fun filled day of hiding and finding eggs!

While Chris and I enjoyed a wonderful date night on Easter eve, Hayden was lucky enough to dye Easter eggs with grandma and grandpa.


There were only a few causalities and Hayden was very proud of his beautiful creations.

My dad even patiently added stickers to each and every egg with Hayden!



We had a fun morning at Easter service at our church and Hayden did great at entertaining himself.....including chewing on the pew, drawing, listening to the choir and bells, and "reading" the bible! We then enjoyed yet another wonderful dinner at my parents with the company of our friend Skip!

Seattle Fun With Auntie Amy


We were lucky enough to get to spend a wonderful long weekend with my sister and Hayden had such a great time with his Auntie Amy!


One day we went and visited her friend Melanie who has been spoiling Hayden since birth and she gave us yet another cool present...a cute Winnie the Pooh coach that folds into a bed. Hayden and Hank both enjoyed it all weekend and had to fight each other off of it!!


The next day Chris was able to join us and enjoy rainy Seattle not to mention a really nice date night while Auntie Amy spoiled Hayden rotten.....as usual!


We jumped at the first sight of blue skies and headed to Point Defiance Zoo and had a great afternoon at the zoo. Hayden enjoyed feeding the goats (that is after he warmed up to them and Amy and Chris went through a couple of handfuls of goat food!!).


He was in awe of the giant elephants and loved to watch the giant kitties (beautiful Siberian tigers).


It was nice to see the green grass and we enjoyed the warm weather. The rain did not stop us and Hayden enjoyed playing outside, climbing on the trees, and splashing in the puddles.


Thank you Amy for the amazing time, we loved being with you and can't wait to see you again:)
