Family Easter Party at the McHartmann's

To prove it was a party, allow me to post a picture of my dad asleep on the couch. If you look carefully, you can see his Easter Eggs he found next to him.

The strawberry cheesecake and cake I made.

My brother Chad and Molly had everyone over for Easter dinner and egg hunts the Sunday before Easter. He had an adult Easter Egg Hunt with money-filled prize eggs for the adults and then an Easter Egg Hunt in the back yard for the kiddos. Poor Hayden was throwing up that morning, so he missed the celebration. Everyone spoiled the little kids with goodies, and the food was all delicious. I brought a strawberry cheesecake pie that I made with the strawberries picked from http://www.sweetberryfarms.com/ . Kevin and I both had $10 in our prize eggs, and Rowan was a pro at the Easter Egg Hunt. He turned a concrete slab into the winners circle and stood in it once he was done finding eggs. Nathan helped Rowan get the hang of it, and he took his turn on the winners circle, too. I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter filled with prize eggs and winners circles. And strawberry cheesecake pie, too!

Egg Hunting

I'm not so sure about this, Mom...

Let me at them eggs, Dad...

My Easter Egg Hunting Champs!

Noone is looking at the camera, I love it.

Are those teeth, real?

Notice Hayden in the background...

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can

There better be chocolate in these eggs.

Last weekend we went to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. They put empty eggs on the ground and then the kids exchange them for a goody bag. They had carnival type games, the boys rode a train and ponies, we ran into some friends, and had a great time. We also got pics with their "Spring Bunny". I meant to send out Easter cards this year, but I never got a chance. Happy Easter friends!

Big, Round, Juicy, & Ripe

Last weekend we went to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls. The weather was beautiful, and there were tons of big, round, juicy, & ripe, strawberries. We brought McDonald's Happy Meals, and they made the boys happy. I think I enjoyed picking the strawberries the most, and the kids loved seeing the goats, horses, and donkies. We ended up taking home about 5 pounds of strawberries, and we already got rid of all of them. We made a strawberry pie and a strawberry cheesecake, strawberry smoothies and ate the rest a la carte. Hopefully we can go back in a few months and pick some blackberries and tomatoes. On a side note, I just asked Hayden if he would babysit Rowan for me for a minute while I worked on my blog, and he told me that he can't babysit because he doesn't have any boobs. Whatever that means... If only they grew on trees, I could pick him some. I would make sure they were big, round, juicy, & ripe ;)

Pic with the Easter Bunny

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I don't like to upload my pics until I've filled a memory stick, and I don't like to blog without my pics... Oh well, the 2 people that read my blog will just have to get over it. The last month or so my dad turned 61, mom turned 60, Heather turned 19, Craig & Courtney got engaged on Vday, Kevin and I had our 5 year anniversary, and Rowan had to be admitted to Dell Children's Hospital for respiratory problems among other things. Hayden is now officially potty-trained, got his first haircut at the barbers (thanks to dad), and is loving art more and more and showing his sensitive side by being a good big brother, loving his build-a-bear "animal pet friends" and is so smart that it scares me. Rowan is still all boy, but he is also starting to carry little puppy dogs from Mc Donald's around wherever he goes like Hayden used to with Little People, starting to love art like Hayden, and loves to watch Hayden play his games on the PC. Sometimes I think they are complete opposites and then the next minute I think they are twins. Of course, I dress them like twins every single day. The kids have enjoyed Elmo live (thanks Auntie M & Uncle Chad), going on the boat, going to Farmer's Market, going to the San Antonio Zoo, going to Inner Space Caverns, going to Baseball games (Lou & Tony's), long boarding & rollerblading with their parents, dancing at the Oasis to Beetles music, going to the Austin Children's Museum, going to the rodeo with Aunt Heidi & Jordy, and coloring with their new art table (thanks grandparents for the table and supplies). We've been getting ready for Easter by making an Easter Bunny house, preparing for 2 Easter Egg Hunts this weekend, picking strawberries at Sweet Berry Farms, making an Easter Bunny at build-a-bear (that Hayden named HOPe), and getting pics with the Easter Bunny. Easter was pretty much my favorite holiday growing up, so I love this stuff just as much as the boys. I can't believe how flippin' adorable my boys are, and if I wasn't busy stuffing my face with the most delicious cupcakes from Be My Cupcake at Lakeline mall, I would surely nibble them up. My family is going to see Grease tomorrow night, and hopefully we are all feeling better so that we can have a good time. I can't wait for Easter, and my brother is having a get together/Easter Egg Hunt this weekend, too. Oh, and another cool thing is that my boys both got their first real pair of shoes that actually fit them this week! Seriously, with my size 12 (in mens) and my hubby's quadruple wide feet, my children were doomed from the beginning and were lucky that Crocs and Robeez somewhat fit them. Thankfully, Stride Rite made cute little wide shoes for the boys, but I could have bought ten pairs of shoes for me for how much they cost. Needless to say, they will be wearing them everyday, and looking flippin' adorable in the process...
