Easter 2009!

We had a great Easter this year at my Mom and Dad's!  Austin and I got to share the day with family and we had a lot of fun hanging out watching the kids play and hunt for eggs!  We sure missed being with Brian though, this is the first Easter in a while we haven't been with him at one of his baseball games!!  We are so thankful though, we just found out he is going to be able to come home for a few days for the birth of our little girl and we couldn't be happier!!  We are counting down the days until we get to see him again, we miss him so much!!

Austin and I with his Uncle Gary, Aunt Kirsten, and Cousins Tyler and Quin!! It was so much fun getting to celebrate Easter together!

Austin opening all of his goodies from his Easter basket!  Here he is showing his new bubbles to Hunter!  Austin loved opening all of his plastic eggs filled with yummy candy, and he got a special singing/dancing bunny from Grandma Jane and Grandpa Tom in Arizona that he loved too!

Showing Grandma some yummy treats the Easter bunny left for him!

(Hunter was never too far from Austin when he was holding Easter candy!!)

Austin's first Easter Egg Hunt!  

It didn't take long for him to figure out searching for eggs is a lot of fun!!  We hid a bunch of eggs around the house (it was raining outside, surprise!) before my nephews came over and Austin kept finding them and jumping up and down in the air with excitement! We finally had to take him outside to play until Tyler and Quin got over so the eggs would remain hidden!!  It was funny!

Austin and his cousin Quin "searching" for eggs!

Tyler showing Pop-Pop an egg he found! (oops, I may have hid some of them a little too high up!)

Mid egg hunt, Austin climbed onto the sofa to "admire" his egg!  He was so proud every time he found one!

I just loved watching Austin search for the eggs!!  He got so into it, looking under everything for eggs!!

Austin and his cousins searching for the last few eggs!

What's Easter without a baseball game?  The boys played some baseball after the egg hunt!  Here's Tyler pitching to Austin!

The boys "warming" up for their baseball game!

The boys sure worked up an appetite after their egg hunt and baseball game!!  Here they are enjoying some delicious homemade pancakes that Grandma made!!

Happy Easter!
