Royal Wedding



While we didn't get up to watch the royal nuptials live, we did have fun watching the wedding this morning when we got up. When I told EJ about the kiss, he looked and said, "Yuck!"

EJ and I had a fun Easter weekend in Denver. On Saturday we decorated Easter Eggs with Grandma Bobbie and Grandpa John.



EJ was really into his project. He knew exactly what to do and even signed his name on all the eggs he decorated.











Here's the final product! Notice how many blue ones. It was EJ's color of choice this year!



On Sunday, we celebrated with Easter baskets, Egg hunts and a nice meal at Cherry Creek Grill, my favorite! EJ really understood the egg hunt concept this year and even wanted a turn "hiding" the eggs.



Here's EJ making funny faces on the car ride to dinner.



Here we are at dinner. EJ had salmon, roast beef and mashed potatoes! A nice break from mac & cheese!



We hope you had a great holiday with your loved ones!

Easter Basket Cupcakes



EJ and I came across a picture of Easter basket cupcakes that we loved so we recreated them for preschool today. While not as professional looking as a bakery might accomplish, they were a hit with EJ's class!



EJ loves being snack helper. He was so proud of his snack today!

Weekend Fun


We had a fun weekend with Uncle Andy and the Sorenson Family. Andy came through town on a recruiting trip and the Sorenson's were here for a weekend visit. Andy finally got to play with the basketball hoop he and Kellie got EJ for Christmas.



We went to baseball games and the kids had a blast. They loved playing on the field with Eric after the game.





EJ had a Little Lamb

EJ has a special little lamb. I bought it two months before he was born because it was so sweet. Over the past year EJ has really attached to it. He sleeps with it so when we went on a road trip with Eric last week, "Lamby" came along. Unfortunately, Lamby was dropped in the hallway at the hotel when we were leaving and I didn't notice.

The next day I called the hotel and the head of housekeeping said that one of the housekeepers rescued the lamb from a rugby team who had checked into the hotel and used him as a pull toy in the hallway. She went on to tell me that another housekeeper had already taken Lamby home to mend him because she knew that he was special to a little child and the mom would be calling. Sure enough, she was right. Once he was good as new, they FedExed Lamby back to us. EJ knew that Lamby was flying home to us in a white box. He was ecstatic when the box arrived.



It was a sweet reunion and Lamby has his rightful place back by EJ side at bedtime.
