Handsome Boys!!!

Mason and Aiden got their pictures taken in March by the best photographer EVER!!! I try to get my kids picture taken every year after their birthday's. Here are some of their pictures that were taken. Mason's 4 year old pics and Aiden's 2 year old pics.

We had to put a little marshmellow in his pocket to get this picture!

A New Recipe Plus A New Park Adventure

Today I made swiss crockpot chicken with stuffing and steamed broccoli for dinner. The nice thing was that I put everything into the crockpot and let it cook all day. It was great! Whoever invented the crockpot was a genius. I also finally got our jogging stroller out of the storage unit yesterday. So since today was a nice day I decided to take Mason and Aiden out for a stroller ride, a picnic and to play at the park where some of their pictures were taken at. They had so much fun there and they needed to run off all their energy. Which they still had a ton of it when we got home. :) Since my boys enjoyed it so much I think I am going to do that more often. I even enjoyed it. I sat at one of the tables that was there and watched them have fun. I was also reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown while keeping an eye on them. The park was empty which was also another plus. Most parks around where we live are swamped with kids so you can't really do a whole lot of reading cause you have to keep a really close eye on your kids so they don't fight with the other kids that are there. Some of you might know what that is like. Oh and the dinner that was cooking all day turned out really YUMMY!! If any of you want to try it let me know.

Easter Time!


Our eggs are in the coloring process!
On Saturday we colored eggs together as a family. Sunday was probably one of the best Easter's we had. We got up, Jon went and hid the eggs for Mason and Aiden. We all went down stairs and helped the boys find the eggs. Aiden was the one that needed the most help with it since he is really short and he can't see up high very well. Mason on the other hand did really well. Their facial expressions were the best to watch! I loved it!
Jon and I went in the kitchen to make everyone breakfast. Ok so Jon bought me flirty aprons for Christmas this year. Jon decided to put one of them on while we were making breakfast. Haha! It was so hilarious! We made bacon, biscuits and over-easy eggs. It was delicious! We let the boys eat some of their candy they got from the easter bunny and then it was time for them to have a nap. Yes, I know what you all are thinking. Why give our kids candy and expect them to take a nap right after they ate it. It wasn't exactlly right after we ate. They had their candy before we ate breakfast. Well we tried to get Aiden down for his nap but it didn't work out so we put conference on. Jon and I played Monopoly while we watched it.

We made our boys sit down and chill out for awhile. Luckily Aiden feel asleep on the couch by me. Then I ended up taking Mason up stairs to his bed and we both hoped he would fall asleep, which he did. Once the boys woke up from their naps Jon had dinner all ready for us. We got a Honey Baked Ham for dinner. It was my first time having one and it was the best ever! We ended up having the ham, rice and green beans. Needless to say my husband did a wonderful job at making dinner. He is so good to us! I made sugar cookies with easter bunnies on them for the boys. Jon and I started to finish up our game that we were playing and then I realized that it was 9:55 p.m. so we had to put our game on hold and I went up stairs to bathe our boys. We got them into bed and Jon and I were finally able to finish our game. I had alot of fun! It has been awhile since we played games together. Oh and Jon won the game as usual. I am so proud of myself too! This year I did really good at taking pictures of our Easter. Way to go me! I hope all of you had a great Easter like we did. Enjoy the pictures!

Waiting to go on the egg hunt!
