The Easter Bunny left Xander a new pair of glasses this weekend. Now he can see and drink at the same time!

It really hard to believe that Easter is here already this year. Before we know it Christmas will be right around the corner. Anyway, after a few hours of research online about how to boil the perfect egg without getting cracks (Salt and Vinegar), Nick and I finally colored our eggs this morning. It was a really fun time. I have been trying to find the best, brightest egg dyeing kit on the market, but i am not sure they really make one. Although when I was checking out Amber's blog earlier, I noticed her eggs are beautifully colored. Anyway we had a good time but wish Ryan would have been able to help. With the weather so nice he wont be home at a decent time for the next few days so we had to do it by ourselves. Hopefully next year. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter.

Guacamole

Although it is really hard for you to see by the pictures what we are doing, Nick and I made some fresh guacamole last night. Nick eats some really crazy things and guacamole is one of them. He wanted so bad to help me chop all the ingredients, but settled for helping me scrape them into the bowl when I finished. I could just see him losing a finger over a bowl of guacamole. Oh well the dip was delicious and we ate it ALL! I have heard that avocados carry the "good" fat right? Lets hope so!

Eckerts

I have had a few requests for a schedule of events for Eckerts. If any of you are interested you can visit their website and sign up for their mailing list. They will send you coupons all the time. The coupons are amazing too...free apples, pies, breakfast with the bunny just to mention a few. They also send you coupons for 25% of an item from their garden center all the time. Eckerts is so neat and almost all the produce and plant life you see come directly from thier orchard. Sign up for their mailing list and browse their website at http://eckerts.com/.

Enjoy!

Oh What A Beautiful Day...

How I would love to have Amber Lindemann's skills as a photographer!!! Today Rachel and I took our children to Eckert's for their 2008 Egg-Citement! For $6.00 we were able to hunt Easter eggs, take our picture with the Easter bunny, do face painting, get a free treat to decorate, plant a seed, and pet sweet newborn animals such as duck, chicks and rabbits. What an amazing place. Nick was absolutely blown away by all the activities that were available to him. What a fun time. Amber if you are ever looking for a new place to take pics this could be a new spot. It has orchard after orchard with flowers and unique landscaping. Eckert's has something new to do every season. I am sure for some of you it may be a drive, but it is sooooo worth it. They have a restaurant and a grocery store. There are so many things to do you would be amazed. It is like the Greenup Pumpkin Patch that stays open for every season. If any of you are interested let me know and I would be glad to forward you a schedule of activities that are upcoming. I can't wait to take Nick apple picking!!!
