Easter 2009

For Easter Sunday we went to my parents house for an afternoon lunch and egg hunt

Paytyn and Kayden playing with the phone they got from the Easter bunny

Out finding the eggs the Easter bunny left behind






My sister and I playing with the boys
After we got done at my parents we went over to Ryans parents house for an Easter dinner and to find more Easter eggs





Jaxson was so pooped at the end of the day, he fell asleep in daddies arms after we got home, so cute!!!


Baby Animal Days-Logan

We took the boys to baby animal days in logan, Emily stayed over the entire weekend and came with us to have fun and help out. We all had a blast and were very glad that we went!!!

We are ready to go!!!



Paytyn got to ride on a pony for the first time and he loved it


Even Jax liked the pony

These Ox were real and we even got to touch them, pretty neat

Petting the baby lamb

Baby cows


Paytyn got to pet the baby pigs

This was my favorite part, Paytyn kept giving the bunny kisses and a few bystanders quickly started taking pictures of it since it was so darn cute! I guess Ryan and I just make cute babies!!




Even Jaxson liked the bunny

Petting the baby goats!

He was so excited to be able to touch and try to understand what they were
Pictures with the Easter bunny

Paytyn liked him but didn't know what to think at first

Baby Turtles


Emily, Ryan and Jax at the reptile room

Awww, they love there Auntie Em

This snake was hanging from the top of the cage, kind of creepy


Paytyn was so amused





We went and ate at the blue bird restaurant, and let me tell you boy was the food excellent. I would definatly recommend eating there if your ever in Logan.

He is so darn cute!!!

In the car on the ride home, we had fun with him while he was making funny and cute faces!

Cupcakes?!?!?!?

These may look like ordinary cupcakes on the outside however upon closer inspection you will notice that the supposed "Frosting" looks a bit different!!! I was looking up online on april fools day for ways to get Ryan and I came across this recipe as well as many other fun ones and since I am on the mission to cook a different meal every night so we can have more of a variety I decided I would make these to fool Ryan into thinking we were going to eat dessert first before dinner. Well boy did it work, I thought for sure he had figured it out just by seeing them however he didn't have a clue. He really thought I was going to have him eat dessert before dinner. He sat down and said "alright but I don't think I will be hungry for dinner after I eat these." (That was because I gave him 4 to eat). Then as he removed the wrapper he quickly realized that it was not really a cupcake but instead meatloaf base with mashedpotatos on top as the frosting. We all loved them as they tasted excellent, and as you can see Paytyn was very excited to eat them too that he even ate 3 of them. I would strongly suggest doing a fun meal like this one day of the week just for fun. Just google meatloaf cupcakes april fools day and it will pull up the website.
Paytyn has been itching to use a big boy fork and spoon to eat with, when ever we feed him off our plate he immediatly grabs for the utensil and gets a death grip on it so he can feed him self. Its so darn cute watching him try to do it and figure its purpose out. He is getting it down but he doesn't fully understand it so he will just hold it in his hand while he eats with his other fingers and occasionally he will put it in his mouth as if he thinks the food magically appears on it :).
