Happy Easter?


I realized today that I've had some personal growth the past year or so. Before Alaina, I would have been completely upset about an Easter picture like this. My type A personality just wouldn't allow such a thing to even happen. In fact, we probably would have gone back multiple times until we got a happy shot, but I've come to realize that such is life and, in actuality, it'll be a better story when she's older. We'll look back at her first picture with the Easter Bunny and laugh. At least Cole looks cute. A few days ago he flat out refused to go see the bunny, so I had to heavily bribe him. I told him that the bunny wouldn't know how to get to our house if we didn't go give him directions. I wasn't going to make him go, but the thought of not having a picture of the two of them with the Easter Bunny made me really sad. Hey, I said I've grown, I didn't say I wasn't completely crazy anymore ;-)

Preschool Field Trip

On Wednesday, Cole's class went to Kualoa Ranch to visit the animals that they had been learning about all month. We had just gotten back from Tutu and Gpaw's house, so he was used to some of the animals, but it was fun seeing new things like the cow, donkey, and bunny.

Had to get a shot of those mountains

Cole did not like the cow "it was too slobbery"

He did like Chocolate, the donkey

New Behavior

This past two weeks I've been noticing my usually timid son getting braver and braver. He's never been a risk taker at all and now I find him doing stuff like this:


Whatcha doin' up there brother?

This picture is for his grandpas

What is this slobbery thing?

I'm cute. And I know it.


I'm pretty cute too

Tripler Easter Festival

On Saturday, Tripler had an Easter egg hunt with a bunch of other fun games. We met our friends, the Fazio's, there and the kids had a blast playing and winning prizes.

Alaina was not impressed
(neither was Cole, he wouldn't even sit on him)

These bunnies are much nicer!


Ohhh, what's this, mama?

It's an egg!

Serious balloon sword fight

Say "cheese"

Cole's favorite part...the huge bounce slide
