Chocolate Easter Eggs & Red Shades

The Easter chocolates that once were...
Hope everyone out there had a wonderful Easter/Masters Sunday (all religions welcome here on this blog)!  Jace is in Philadelphia, MS with his dad and the Rodgers men at their annual Grudge Match golf trip so Easton and I were holding it down here at home. Easton and I celebrated in our own ways...he with a sweet four hour nap this morning and me by eating all the Fannie Mae chocolate eggs Auntie Sherry and Uncle Wayne sent us while waiting around for him to wake up from what is usually an hour and a half nap. He was the winner today.

We laid low most of the weekend except for a quick trip to the mall on Saturday morning. FYI, the mall doesn't open until 10:00 AM on Saturdays. I figured that out after nearly losing my mind prying our massive stroller out of my tiny trunk in the Burlington Mall parking lot. Once I wedged that beast back in we took a detour to iParty to pick up a few things for the big 1st birthday right around the corner (I made Easton cover his eyes so everything will be a surprise...no worries). I've got some high hopes for my inner Martha...I'm going to try to decorate this "One Step Wonder" cake with Kevin & Amanda's "THE BEST Chocolate Cake" I did a trial run of a few weeks ago. Good news is, if the decor is a fail the cake is heavenly. My Aunt Nancy said it best, "Anything with a cup of oil and a cup of sour cream HAS to be good". It is.

Alright well I'm up about 30 minutes past my bedtime and owe you all some photos but first I need to ask my fellow parents out there a quick question. We're on our last can of formula (hooray!) but now I'm struggling to figure out what to do about Easton's breakfast in the morning. He's up at 0600, out the door with Jace at 0650 and school by 0700. They eat school breakfast around 0730 so I'm thinking, what, a few ounces of milk and some banana pieces or something? Just curious what you all do if you care to share.

Ok now pictures :)
No worries, we made it back to the mall!
$2 @ Children's Place...inspired by Uncle Jeff

Loving his sippy cup!
Also, he looks like an inmate, but he's not.




And that's enough, Mom.


Just a fun shot to compare how big he's grown
since September

Ok not such a well staged food shot but here it is...
our first Easter dinner :)
Honeybaked Ham & Scalloped Potatoes = Yum!

Already posted on Facebook but it was too cute to leave out


Homie loves him some bath time

Constantly digging for something in that cup

The End :)

    ali- about the breakfast thing. talk to his teachers about the timing thing cause as soon as he turns one, he won't be getting breakfast until 8:15. but we've always just given the girls some milk and either a yogurt or bananas to get them through till then. *Em

Introducing...Easton Douglas Anders!

Easton Douglas Anders - 3 days old More pictures @ http://www.our365.com/ He's here, he's here!!!  Jace and I welcomed our son Easton Douglas to the world this past Saturday, April 16th at 4:22 PM and we couldn't be more proud.  It was an awesome experience...not so much in the "incredibly cool, can't wait to do it again" context but genuinely in AWE of how mother nature and modern medicine can work together to ease a woman and efficiently deliver a baby.  Before I tell you all a little bit about our story (again, no worries, I won't blast all the nitty gritty across your screen) I must say a HUGE thank you to our staff at Winchester Hospital.  Though I know not a single of of those doctors, nurses and other staff members will read this they will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the outstanding service and love they showed all three of us!!  They exceeded any expectations Jace and I might have had and just had to throw that out there. ...

My Bachelorette Weekend

Jace has been in MN since Thursday braving the cold with  Team Franchise at the 2011 US Pond Hockey Championship .  The team made it to Sunday again this year but unfortunately couldn't get by the "Pulled Hammies" this morning to advance to the finals.  Better luck next year, boys! :( So, since he's been gone I've been catching up on projects around the homestead since it's been so damn cold outside.  On Thursday night I scanned in about 80 old family photos that I had received over the years from my Aunt Kathleen.  I decided to do this because I'm building an online baby book for mini-Ma$e and you can add pictures - thought it'd be fun to add some old family photos.  Anyway, I won't overload you with too many but here are some of my favorites...the rest can be viewed here . Moving on... Friday started off with another snowstorm - excellent.  Hanscom was open for business...well, that is, for everyone ex...

Trunk or Treat 2013

We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
