A Beautiful Spring Weekend

This past weekend was beautiful so of course we headed outside to enjoy the weather.   On Friday Tyler was home before Chase woke up from his nap, thanks to jury duty, so we were able to head out and enjoy a walk through Central Park.
 This was a rare Saturday for us when neither one of us had any major plans and we took full advantage.   1st - Chase requested pancakes for breakfast, and since he hasn't been eating breakfast, we decided to head out to a small diner on the Upper Westside for pancakes.  2nd - I was feeling the need to get out and go somewhere different, so we headed to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens to check out the Cherry Blossoms.  Although we were a week or two early they were still pretty.  

I really wanted a family picture in front of the trees however Chase was not cooperating so we ended up with Tyler and I and then pictures of Chase.

3rd - After naps, we headed down to the Upper Eastside to do some shopping for Tyler.  All in all we had a pretty prefect day.

While we were walking through the garden we notice these two sitting on a bench and couldn't help but take a picture:

Easter Weekend

We had a wonderful Easter weekend, minus the rain, attending Easter egg hunts, coloring eggs and spending time we friends.  On Saturday we colored eggs, Chase enjoyed it for all of one egg, but hey I had a good time; we then headed out in the rain to attend our wards Easter egg hunt. Chase had a great time and fortunately for me Chase doesn't really like candy so after he was done filling his basket, we were able to leave the all the goods there.  On Sunday we invited a bunch of friends over for dinner, we had a wonderful meal and great conversations.   

The nursery room was filled with candy and eggs for the little ones, that way they didn't have to compete with the older kids.  Chase loved putting the candy in his bucket and then dumping it out and doing all over again.

Sunglasses from the Easter bunny

Examining the eggs, Chase had a great time finding all the eggs the Easter bunny left for him.

Central Park Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday we headed out to Central Park for their annual Easter Egg Hunt, although it was a little on the cold side we managed to "find" plenty of eggs.

The kids were divided into 2 age groups, 3 and under and 4 and up.  For the little ones, they more or less covered the ground with eggs (with "hunts" every 20 minutes).

Our happy hunter
