Easter

Thursday night I made these cupcakes for Andrew's Easter party at daycare on Friday.

Saturday we got a call that Andrew had won 3rd place in the Egg & I coloring contest. Here is his masterpiece!

He won this bunny.

Here is Andrew on Easter morning. He was very excited about his basket. He seemed a little amazed at the story of the Easter bunny coming to the house and leaving the basket. He just looked at us and said, "Easter bunny?"

He was pretty happy with the presents.

Also, on Saturday (sorry wrong order) we all colored Easter eggs. Here is Ryan helping Andrew place "cars" stickers on the eggs.

Look rainbow hands!

Our church had an indoor Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday after the service. (Which was good since it was raining and cold). Here is Andrew offering an egg he found to a smaller girl. AWWW!

Andrew and Jonathan were stylin' in their nice outfits and carrying their baskets.

Andrew and his pastel tie. He wasn't really happy about having to wear a tie, but after seeing Ryan in his tie he became convinced that it was okay.

Whew! We had a busy Easter weekend. We also got to spend time with my good friend Vickery and her mom on Saturday. We don't see them too often because they live in Cody, so that was a special treat. I hope that you all had a nice Easter weekend too!

I thought I would update on my weight watchers status. I have lost 13 lbs.! My goal was only 10, so I'm feeling really great about my progress!

Ryan couldn't hang. He is still doing well by eating weight watchers approved dinners every night with me, but he wasn't willing to give up as much as I have given up. His job is really stressful and I think dieting wasn't very conducive to his schedule. But, he is going to start joining me in walking this Spring.

I have also really increased my exercise with pilates, yoga and a yoga booty class. I am feeling really good with the added exercise. It is a great stress reliever for me and good break from work. I often go to the YMCA over the lunch hour, that way it doesn't take time away from Andrew.

Adding in exercise and eating right has really been an improvement toward that life/mom/work balance.

Spring Fever

We're getting a little stir crazy these days waiting for Spring!

This is what mother nature brought us while we continue waiting for Spring! 9 inches on Saturday.

We did finally make it to Nebraska as we had planned in February. Here is Andrew telling Great-Grandma Jo to give the bear his juice.

Andrew making himself at home in Great-Grandma and Grandpa's new apartment.

Here is Andrew Patrick on St. Patrick's Day in his "Kiss Me I'm Irish" shirt, but he was in no mood for kissing that morning.
