Date Knight & the Silverbacks

After weeks of anticipation (mainly on Mama's part), it was time for Date Knight at Chick-fil-A! When we walked in the door, we got family crests to decorate, knight masks, pictures taken with a knighted cow and a waiter came to our table to take our order!

After we filled our bellies, we went back home to pick up Daddy and head to the Silverbacks game. What a night!

Decorating our family crest while waiting on our food. The tongue out is a sign that I am really concentrating hard:

We even got blow-up swords, which resulted in an immediate duel:

Slightly hyper:

Enjoying our sundaes:

Yes, instead of using a spoon:

We have arrived at the Silverbacks game!

Even though the sun was setting, I insisted that I needed to wear Mama's sunglasses to be able to properly focus on the game:

One of my favorite things to do is to take self-portraits:

Keeping Daddy entertained, as always:

Weekend Fun

Looks like we were ready for Leapin Lizards before Leapin Lizards was ready for us.  Is there anything sadder in a 2-year-old's life than a room full of deflated bouncy houses?

"Well, Cooper, what do you want me to do about it?"

We'll just play on the chalkboard while they get to blowing up our bouncies!

Joy!

Trying to teach Cooper baseball in the backyard:

And even Spiderman likes to have books read to him by his big brother:

Goofiness

Enjoying some milkshakes on the front steps.  There's a reason we are eating these outside - note my mouth and the state of my once-white shirt:

And later at Moe's, I can't seem to find my big brother!  Can you help me find him????

Of course!  Why didn't I think to look inside the newspaper bin FIRST??

Easter!

Easter started off at our house with baskets filled with goodies from the Easter bunny, and then a little egg hunt in our front yard.  After we enjoyed the spoils of our hunt, we got dressed and headed up to Papa & Bebe's house for more family fun!  Happy Easter!

Now to find some eggs.  And yes, I did feel it necessary to wear the new sunglasses the Easter bunny brought me!

Molly was posed perfectly for a picture 0.5 seconds before this picture was taken.  Oh well.

Whew!  It's bright in here!

We think the Easter bunny may have gone a little over the top this year...

Playing in bubbles at Papa & Bebe's house:

And now, let the hunt begin!

Sam watching me find my eggs from the porch, and yes, Aunt Marilyn is wearing bunny ears!

Found one way up high...

....so I asked Mama for a lift!

Showing Bebe our eggs:

Uncle Zach supervising the egg-dyeing:

This requires concentration:

This is how you know you did it right!

Easter Egg Hunt at School

It's Easter time again!  Daddy and Big Brother to my school to join in on the fun and after that, Daddy surprised me by taking us boys home for the day.  Pretty great way to end the week!

And we're off!

I'll take that!

Utter chaos out here - the eggs are disappearing before I can get my hands on them - must move faster!

Success - and it's a beaut!

I might just have the best big brother in the world.  Actually, I'm positive I do.

Taking a rest after all that hard work:

Checking out the prizes in the eggs - lots of stickers and tattoos - the Easter bunny sure knows me!

Big Brother helping me get some of these eggs open - did I mention I think he is about the best thing in the world?

So, I shared my spoils with him.  I gave him every prize he asked for.  That's how much I love him!

One of my favorite teachers, Miss Christian, even gave me a snuggly bunny hug:

Stopping by the fish tank to show Big Brother and Daddy the new fish that have come to live here since they visited last:
