Happy Easter!! Round 3

For the last leg of our Easter adventure, we went to Uncle Hani and Aunt Shirley's house. After only seconds in the door, Uncle Hani decided it would be a fantastic idea to give the boys a dozen colored eggs...

Uncle Hani then proceeded to show them how to smash them together...

notice cousin Sean in the background laughing, lol!

What can I say, like father, like son!

Miles was NOT happy when there weren't any eggs left to break
Don't worry...he eventually got over it!

Eli's next stop, Aunt Haifa's lap! He knew he could get some cake out of her...

he also knew he could get some coffee out of her! He's one smart cookie! ;)

Aunt Shirley and Eli

Uncle Hani and Avery

Miles and Hayden...they're clearly talking fashion here!

Uncle Hani and Eli

Miles and Mommy

and finally...Miles and Daddy, all tuckered out!

We had a wonderful Easter, and we're so happy we were able to share it with all of our family!

Fun with Grammy, boo boos, and coloring eggs!

We spent the day over Grammy's house today! It was so nice outside, so the boys spent a lot of their time running around, but Miles snuck in some one on one Grammy time! Warning, there are a ton of pics!

Miles was laughing hysterically during this!

and quickly after he was tired and crabby, so Papa Steve, AKA "the baby whisperer," got him to sleep!

While outside, Eli managed to smash his thumb in a car door...his poor little boo boo!

But in no time he was back to playing! On a side note, I had to run up to the store, and I hit the jackpot! I got 2 of these little cars, 2 little tikes picnic tables, a Step2 art easel, and a Step2 castle with slide....all for $25!!! Now Grammy's house is loaded up with even more toys!!

Miles snacking on some food as we started to color eggs

Grammy and Eli

Uncle Matt and Peej

The boys had a BLAST!!

And they were both very upset when there were no more eggs to color!

Crooked glasses due to crying and wiping his own tears, lol!

They did pretty good, and only broke a couple!!!

Enjoying the weather!

It was beautiful outside today, so we called over Uncle Matt and Peej to enjoy the weather with us! It was nice to have all of the boys finally feeling better, so we were taking full advantage of this opportunity! (Matt and little Matthew got the same stomach bug we had...yuck!)

Miles, looking like a little meditating buddha

This foot looks like it would taste good....
Yum!!

Eli having a serious conversation with Uncle Matt!

A gentle push...

Weeeee!!

Miles enjoyed being pushed by Eli as well...

Although the happiness didn't last!

Happy Birthday and Congrats Aunt Lynn!!

Today we had a double celebration...my Aunt Lynn's birthday AND her retirement! We rented a room at a local rec center so all the kids could run around like crazy...and they did! I took over 100 pictures, so here are a bunch of them, lol!
