Happy Easter, and a birthday too!

We went to my Dad's for Easter dinner this afternoon, it was such a beautiful day & it was so nice to spend time with everyone!

We had fun playing ping-pong together while waiting for dinner.. and Aidan had fun with Grandpa too!

After dinner, I was surprised with a birthday cake! .. I guess turning 31 isn't so bad! :)

the Easter bunny came!

Aidan's little basket.. had SO much stuff crammed into it!

He was so excited when he found the surprises waiting for him.. and was very eager to read his new books with Daddy!

.. we'd also like to thank Grammie & Grampie for the super cute, but hugely annoying singing chick that Aidan got for Easter.. if it turns up missing soon, you know why! :)

Easter egg hunt!

Time for the Easter egg hunt at Aunt Linda's! It was so fun to watch Aidan run around & collect all the eggs!

Aidan got lots of help from Beth & Cole.. and even made sure to pick up some rocks in the hunt too! :)

coloring Easter eggs!

Every year, I get together with my friend Michelle to dye eggs with her & her boys.. I was so happy that Aidan could finally join in on the fun!
Letting him dunk eggs in the dye himself wasn't that great of an idea, since he splashed the dye everywhere.. (sorry, Michelle!).. so I let him color on the eggs with crayons instead!


In between trying to eat the eggs & "coloring" them, he had a great time!

grrr... weeks 11 & 12

This past week, I have learned the importance of SAVING everything that you are working on.. by just simply forgetting ONE measly day from one of my weeks, it completely messed me up. AND, since I saved nothing.. I had to start all over again to make it right. I am so glad I caught it when I did, as it would have been a huge stressful mess!

So.. here are the revised weeks!

new trick

Aidan can finally sip through a straw! Yippee! :)
(I know it's not that great of a trick, but it's exciting to me!)
