Happy 1st Easter Brayden!

Brayden had a great 1st Easter!  It was a long and exhausting day but we had fun! Brayden loved going through his easter basket! Of course he wanted to play with the easter grass and chew on anything could get his hands on!   

 We headed to church in the morning, which as usual he got a little fussy so I had to take him to stand in the back.  Apparently "Alleluia" was a little too much  for him! :)   We then headed to grammy and pop pops where I made breakfast for everyone and spent the day their with family and lots of food! Brayden REFUSED to nap! I think we got on ONE very short nap all day, needless to say he was a little moody here and there but did really well overall! 

Look CARS dvd!

 Somebody is TIRED!

 We also had an egg hunt in the yard! Brayden loves playing in the grass. Daddy and Makenzie helped him find all of his eggs!  

Brayden absolutely loves mashed potatoes!  I was really worried about letting him have a taste with his milk protein intolerance but decided to give it a try and he did great (and no tummy issues last night!) He had so much fun eating and made a big mess!  

Easter Cupcakes!

I wanted to try something new for icing the cupcakes. i found some ideas online but of course i didn't have the right tips and it was after the stores were closed. So it took 20 cupcakes but i think i eventually got the idea with a smaller size tip.  I think they turned out okay.

Easter Egg Hunt!

Today we went to Johnson's Farm in Medford for a little Easter Fun! Every holiday they always have cute things for kids to do! Even though Brayden is still pretty little I knew he would have a ball on the egg hunt!

To get to the egg hunt we had to go on a hayride! Brayden loved watching all the kids and made all kinds of friends!

When we reached the field/tree line they had all of the kids sit on bales of hay to tell them Peter Rabbit needed their help! It was adorable!  Each kid had to find one egg in each of the 5 colors and they got a prize for helping Peter Rabbit collect all his eggs for Easter!

Then we were off!! He had fun picking out which egg was the best!  And tried to eat most of them! Typical Brayden! 

All these for me?! 

Where do I start?!

I'll take this one! 

Can i have all of these?!

RED!!

A little video! Of course he's trying to put them in his mouth! 

EGG DYING FUN! :)

Brayden had SO much fun dying eggs for Easter at grammy and pop pop Nolte's house!  At first he really didn't know what to make of it and of course his first response is to immediately put the eggs in his mouth! Typical Brayden. lol Auntie Katie and Daddy showed him how to dip and drop the eggs in the dye and roll it around. It was the cutest thing! He had a ball and got multicolored hands and face doing it!  He kept biting his eggs with his new tooth and cracking them and dropping them on the floor. Aaahh the wonders of gravity! :)

He almost did a full out crawl forward today too!! He has been up on his knees for a few weeks and moves backwards but he's still trying so hard to get the hand/leg coordination down.  It's adorable! i'm sure he will wait till easter for his first forward crawl since he likes to be a show off on the holidays and do new things! lol

Here's some cute pics of dying eggs!!

MMMM eggs!
