Easter and Family Fun

Brecken loved decorating Easter eggs. Can you tell what his favorite color?
The boys had a hard time figuring out what went in the buckets! I think this picture is so funny.
On our Easter egg hunt Karsten found one egg and proceded to eat all the candy. Needless to say he only got one egg because he was to slow. The boys were lucky to go to two easter egg hunts. At the second easter egg hunt Karsten found a orange and was so proud of himself. Brecken was a trooper and found enough eggs for him and Karsten.
We got to spend this week with Merilee's family (Tom's sister). Here is Boston, Mason and Brecken. Boston was Brecken's best friend this whole week. Boston is such a good cousin and let Brecken tag along with him all week. You rock Boston!
Karsten got this new, youth size, hat (my kids have big heads) for Easter. He loves wearing hats. I have never met an 18mth old that loves to wear hats and keeps them on.

We had a great easter and a fun time with family.

Baseball

Tom, Brecken, Karsten, and I ventured out to a Cubs spring training baseball game yesterday. (I am so mad because I forgot my camera.) The boys were so cute they both wore their little baseball caps. We had great seats. We were right behind the Cub's dugout. We could put our feet on the dugout.

Karsten was asleep until we got to the game and sat down to watch the game. He woke up immediately and loved watching the game. The boys were so impressed with all the baseball players. Brecken kept waving to the players to say hi. One of the coaches, Billy Williams(pictured above in his early days), threw Brecken a ball. He was in heaven. He hugged and kissed the ball the whole game.

Brecken was really intent on what each player was doing. During the game a batter got hit by a pitch and another batter on deck got hit with a ball. Brecken then started bonking his head with his ball. I asked what he was doing and he said, "That is what baseball players do. They get hit with balls!!" Tom and I were dying laughing. We didn't realize that is what baseball players do!

The boys lasted through the whole game. It might of helped that we had peanuts, cotton candy, and ice cream half way through the game. We can't wait to go again next year.

I can't wait to see my boys grow up and play sports. It will be so fun to see their interests and their talents.
