Easter, Baseball and Birthday!

A 3 in 1 post...amazing! As I am sure you can tell from the title of this post we had a lot going on the last two weeks...not that, that is any surprise! 

This year we went to Utah to spend Easter with my Mom, Mike, Tony and Sarah. It was so great getting to see everyone; it has been awhile since we were all together! The kids of course had a blast coloring eggs and we only broke a few this year so the turn out was GREAT! 










This year we also decided it would be fun to shape Rice Krispy treats into eggs and let the kids decorate them. They loved it...both the decorating and snacking part of it! It was fun to see their creativity! Keirsten decided she would have a better advantage at decorating her Rice Krispy eggs if she sat on the table....silly girl!








Kayden informed us this year that the Easter bunny hid the eggs too easy last year, so we made sure that he hid them better this year! They both had a blast finding the eggs...and unfortunately it happened so quickly I wasn't able to catch any pictures! They loved the fun Easter baskets the Easter bunny brought them as well!


While we were in Utah we also got to spend some time with Dad. It was a bittersweet visit. Dad is moving to Baltimore so this was our goodbye...we are sure going to miss our Papa but are excited for the new adventure in his life. Love you lots!


Kayden has also started another year of baseball and of course he is playing for the Giants! I am not certain there is a sport out there that this kid doesn't love playing!?! It has been so fun to watch all the boys improve from one year to the next. He plays with a great group of kids and has some wonderful coaches!




And last but not least we celebrated Keirsten's 3rd birthday last weekend. I cannot believe that my little girl is 3! It always goes by so quickly and is so bittersweet watching them grow up. She is an amazing little girl and  our family would not be complete without her. She has the most infectious smile and sparkling personality. She is very independent and loves life to its fullest. Happy Birthday Sweetheart! We love you!














Love Always,
