A Pretty Exciting Easter

We had a very fun Easter. Cole lost his first tooth. The tooth that he lost was his very FIRST baby tooth so I was a little teary eyed about it but also excited for him We'll get to that in a minute though. We have been busy trying to enjoy some of the "Spring" weather here and we took the kids to the river to feed the ducks. I love feeding the ducks and Cole laughed so hard chocolate milk came out of his nose! The ducks are just crazy and Carter told them all that they were his "babies". Carter just loves animals. Animals on TV. Animals in magazines...he just goes crazy and tells anyone around that they are his babies. So here are the photos from the greenbelt. This is pre-haircut for Coley...his hair was pretty long...but still super cute. 

Ah...Chris is such a good lookin' guy.

After we got home the kids love to watch Sesame Street and drink out of their sippy cups so here are the boys relaxing together. Carter likes to hold Cole's hand while they do this.

Easter 2010! 

Here is Cole (peter pantless) checking out his basket.

And the search for eggs is on!

Sadly, this is the only photo I got of the kids Easter morning actually dressed as we got out of the car at church. The church looked so beautiful. I absolutely LOVE all the stained glass windows. Holy Rosary is one of the oldest churches in IF and it's just gorgeous. 

And Carter was totally pooped after mass. 

So...the other BIG news is Cole lost his first tooth as I mentioned above...so here Chris and he are preparing for the tooth fairy and Cole was making sure his tooth was in the baggie ok. Then he went straight to sleep so the tooth fairy would come. 

The grown up teeth are already coming in behind his lower teeth so we were anxious to get the baby teeth out. He still needs to get the second lower front tooth out....

The note the tooth fairy left for him. 

And in other news. I made meatloaf and I took a photo of it to prove that I did it. Chris has been asking for meatloaf for a long time and I just wasnt too sure about how to make it and it's actually very easy. Chris is very particular and he had specific directions (i.e. how to chop up the onions etc.) so I was a little nervous it wouldn't be as good. Aparently his Grandma LeeAnn makes the BEST ever meatloaf...so the next time we see them we'll have to get her recipe. Mine turned out ok. I wish I had the right pain to drain more of the drippings out...but Chris was happy and took leftovers to work the next day. I thought it was pretty good. I am just shocked I could make it. I'm still learning how to cook and make yummy food. It's alot of work! I love it though.
