Coloring Eggs and Easter Egg Hunts

It's not Easter until you color your eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide :)

Cort started out helping Metz . . . but soon was working on his own . . . Metz dipped and dipped and then redipped his eggs. Most of them ended up green (his favorite color, ever!!)

His fingers ended up green too . . . it took quite the scrubbing to get them clean.

He later got to put stickers on. So fun. He started with 18 eggs but stole some from my niece and nephew and ended up with a ton!!! It was so fun and it was awesome that Brittany and Cole came up and helped get us ready for Easter Morning.

Ok, I am never promising Metz an egg hunt again. Long story short we started at the high school for an egg hunt and as I was putting Chase in the stroller it started. Back in the car we went to egg hunt number 2 at the Movie Theatre. Walk in to find out not an egg in sight. In an hour there is one at the local grocery store (it is also the last one of the day) so we head over and immediately stand in line at the end of an aisle for the 2-4 year olds, wait over a half and hour while Metz keeps telling me he only wants green eggs, the start - I push him through to get his allotted 5 eggs and run away as fast as possible. He got some candy and his promised egg hunt. I took some tylenol and got pizza for lunch. I will forever organize my own egg hunt - it would be much easier than doing this ever again. (ok, long story long).

Easter Morning

Happy Easter :) It was a cold morning so . . .

Metz scurried around the yard finding all his eggs and thanking the Easter Bunny.

Then as he walked up the stairs inside he found even more eggs all over the house. He couldn't get enough of it!!!

Metz found all the eggs without a problem and had too much fun opening them and finding CANDY!!!

The Easter Bunny went a little overboard but hey why not?!?!

Chase just chilled and watched it all happen. Sweet boy.

Easter Outfits

Just cause they are too darn cute :)

Chase sweet and handsome in his polo and khakis.

Metz all handsome and happy in his new shirt and pants. Fun Fun. New clothes.

Egg Rolling

There are sand dunes only 15 minutes away so we were able to continue a Kanab tradition . . .

Egg Rolling started out innocent enough . . .making trails and sending eggs on their way but it soon turned into this

Egg Baseball- that would be an egg in half between Cort and Metz

Metz decided that with all that sand around he wanted to dig a hole . . .

which turned into this hole - yes it was metz's sand chair

All the while Chase did this. We had a great time rolling our eggs, digging in the dirt and keeping a Leavitt Family Tradition :)

Cort is 29!

Happy Birthday daddy!! Cort spent most of the day studying but took the evening off so we could enjoy a birthday dinner. We had shrimp, Alice Springs Chicken (it's an outback steakhouse dinner). Metz tried the shrimp and ate all the outside layer of it. It was pretty funny. . . and I am proud of him for trying it.

One of Cort's presents was crab legs. He really enjoyed them, said they were delicious. He even saved some for Ben (my brother in law) since he is the only other crab leg lover in the family.

Brittany and Cole helped Cort blow out his candles. We all enjoyed cake, ice cream and chocolate cream pie :) Happy Birthday Daddy!!! We love you.

Baby Chase

Well here are his two month stats :) ( I know he is almost 3 now, but better late than never!!) He is 12.9 lbs and 23 inches. My baby has almost doubled in weight. He is smiling a ton (especially at his father) and talks to us especially at night. He has found his right fist and loves to suck on it. He is still a cuddler and loves to sleep on his tummy. He still gives us the lip quiver and his "warning" huffs before he is going to cry. We love our piglet :)
