Easter 2009

We were able to go to two Easter egg hunts this year. My nephew was baptised the day before Easter, so we headed to Wendell for the weekend, but right before we left we had a little Easter egg hunt with Grandma and Grandpa Havens.


Dayne was so excited! He just kept clapping and laughing the whole night.

His basket was a little heavy, so I helped him out. He found Reese Eggs, car eggs, Spidey eggs you name it!
While doing all that hard work, he needed a little snack.

I guess the York Peppermint Patty was a little overwhelming! He couldn't even close his mouth with all the mintyness stuffed inside.

At Grandma and Grandpa Diemart's we had an outside egg hunt. He had all his cousins to combat with to find the eggs. However, he has nice cousins and they were giving him their eggs. He ended up with at least forty eggs to inhale!

This egg hunt had the special Kinder Eggs from Canada. My sister lives in Victoria, so of course we had to have them for Easter! Thanks Jenny! They are actually made in Germany and shipped throughout Europe and Canada. They are a hollow egg of chocolate and inside is a toy that you put together. This year the hot item was a whining top. For some reason we cant get them here. Well these were the coveted item of the hunt, Dayne found four of these. Do you see one strategically hidden?

Between the two egg hunts we have way too much candy. Every time Dayne even sees the Batman Basket, that's right Batman, he reaches and whines for some candy!

I hope everyone had a great Easter! Now I have to take down all the Easter stuff, but I have to admit I really don't want to. I feel like it's just barely Spring.

New Haircuts and Such

So look at this hair. I have cut Dayne's hair before, but just a snip snip. I never used the electric cutters on him before. I thought I would mess it up, but after waiting way too long I found the courage to give Dayne a real haircut. This is a picture before the cut. I know, I know, he is starting to look a bit like a girl with those long locks. He was actually getting ringlets in the back. This is another reason I took so long to cut his hair...I just love little babies with super curly hair!

This is after cutting the back part of the hair. I doesn't look like much, but it made a huge difference. After using the electric cutters, I used my scissors and sniped off about an inch and a half on top.

Dayne looks like a burly mountain man with all that hair on his back. I couldn't help myself. I'm sure his wife will cherish this picture.

ALL DONE! Mr. Dayne after taking a bath and rinsing all the hair off his back.

He looks like a little punk with his faux hawk, but it turned out to be just the right length. It also looks a little like Edward's hair. Yes I admit to being an avid Twilight BOOK fan!

April Fools!

I found this fun idea at the family fun website and I couldn't resist.

Looks like yummy cupcakes right. Well its actually meatloaf for the cake and mashed potatoes for the frosting. Dayne loved it!

At first he just giggled looking at it. He knew something wasn't right, but he was curious to find out what.

So he touched it to see what the big deal was. He just wanted to test the waters.


OH the wonders of meat and potatoes!

Nick meanwhile knew something was up. He thought I added some crazy ingredient to them. I begged him to just taste them for the sake of April fools!

But it was all in vain, for he is not brave when it comes to tasting strange things...he said just thinking about eating blue mashed potatoes it makes him gag. I guess green eggs are out for next year! Too bad.

Meanwhile Dayne is inhaling in the Ecstasy...

Happy April Fools!!!! Hope you all had some fun out there!
