Easter 2012

Easter Sunday was the two week mark of our little baby Broderick being in the NICU. The hardest part was trying to be with both my kids on this holiday and then feeling guilty when I was without one. I started my day off with a visit at the hospital. I stayed for two feedings, took some cute pictures, then headed home to have Easter with Tyler.

This beanie was Tyler's Eater cap when he was a baby. A little big for Broderick but still cute! 

Broderick is known for having "naughty hands" because he is always pulling out his feeding tube. Here he is without the tube, I had to get a pic before they put a new one in. 

Easter at home with Tyler! 

Cousin Kyla was really interested in the goodies for the boys from grandma. 

All lined up and ready for the Easter egg hunt. Smallest to tallest of course. 

We let Kyla have a head start. They boys seemed concerned about that. 

We tried to get one more group shot but Kyla was only concerned with stealing Tyler's eggs. Jonathan seemed ok with that! 

The "Golden Egg!" 

Can't wait for next Easter when we can ALL celebrate together as a family! 

Easter Weekend

The weekend started off with Tyler's baseball game Saturday morning - bright and early! After that we headed to the Placerville Fairgrounds for their community "Eggstravaganza"! They had several egg hunts for kids, food, bounce houses, live music, games, crafts, face painting... and it was all FREE! 

 The nice thing about this event was it wasn't overly crowed. I've been to the community egg hunts in Folsom and Cameron Park and there are WAY too many people at those events. I really enjoyed the short lines and mild crowd sizes. 

 Making some crafts! 

 Check out the air he's getting! 

 Tug-of-war! This game was SO funny! They had all the children against 3 grown men. The kids had the men dragging on the ground in defeat. I wish I had it on tape! 

 Tyler helped me make the cupcakes for my sunbeams. 

 I got totally lazy with these ones... I had planned on making them into baskets :-/ 

 Coloring eggs! 

 We finished our Easter Eve with some home movies. Look how cute my brother Brian is on the TV! I believe he was about 5 at the time. 

 And what would Easter be without Trifle! 

 Tyler's goodies from the Easter bunny! 

 His new educational books ;) 

 Deke just getting home from his shift on Easter morning.
