Easter!

We had a great Easter and the whole family was able to be together this year.  I was worried about the weather, there was a good chance of rain and I really wanted the girls to be able to hunt eggs outside.  It rained while we were eating lunch, we hunted eggs, and then it rained afterwards.  It worked out perfect and the rain kept it a little cooler.  

I love these 2 pictures of Kylie and Paw, they are my new favorites!

We decided to get some pictures outside of her in her Easter dress before other people arrived and before the rain started.

Holding onto her hat tightly to keep the wind from blowing it away.

Daddy helping straighten her hat.

Holding tightly to a baby chick that the Easter Bunny brought her.   I'm wondering what exactly the Easter Bunny was thinking by bringing her a stuffed animal that chirps loudly when she touches it????

Kylie is such an animal lover and one of her favorites is  Happy Cat and even better he has become so used to her and doesn't even mind when she pets him.

She loves to look in his face and one time she got so excited because he winked at her :)

More Easter pictures to come!

Wordless Wednesday (Random and Long)

Easter Peeps Cake

So, I decided I would make a cake for Easter this year that I saw online, actually combine two cakes to make something fun and cute.  Well, I think the end result would qualify for one of those "Pinterest Fails" sites, yep, it was bad, really, really bad!  It was supposed to be stripes of 3 different colors (I used the directions for a zebra striped cake), that I scooped out carefully into 2 pans, 1 tablespoon at a time.  Yes, it took a long, long, long time.

Ready for the oven

It looked pretty going into the oven and looked okay coming out of the oven, but then when I tried to get it out of the pan, it all fell apart.

Cooling~still looks okay, though a few cracks were showing

I've never had a cake do that before, it just crumbled.  I was so mad, especially after spending so much time on it.

Have you ever seen a worse looking cake?!

 Luckily my husband went to the grocery store and came back with a few cake mixes and icing.  I told him to not dare buy the same kind I had just used!  The 2nd cake turned out fine, but after the first disaster I didn't take the time to do all the different colors on the inside.

Dyeing Easter Eggs!

Kylie was very excited about Easter this year~I think mainly because of the Easter Bunny.  She loves rabbits and has for quite a while now.  She couldn't wait to dye eggs and luckily it was nice weather so we could do it outside, much less mess!

Check out the green hand.  She tried and tried to use the things to pick the eggs up with, but she just couldn't keep from sticking her hand in there.

One hand green and the other pink.  Luckily most of it came off when she took a bath later.

Time to chase bubbles!

More Easter posts to come, so check back soon!

Carousel Ride

After visiting the Easter Bunny, we had lunch in the food court and of course, as soon as she saw the carousel she begged to ride. I told Chad that he would have to ride with her, I've had vertigo for days and there was no way I could get on something that moves, walking was hard enough at the time.  Kylie had a great time and she's already planned which animal she is going to ride the next time, and then the next time, and then the next time!

waiting for it to start
