Well Needed Fun!!!

After many long & cold hours locked up in the apartment we finally ventured out. Ez and I were able to go to the indoor swim park. Ez absolutely loved it! He thought he was such a big boy climbing up the stairs and going down the slides all by himself. Needless to say this was a well needed break. We can't wait for the warm weather to come and stay for a while!

Easter Bunny!

Here is Ez loving the Easter Bunny! He kept going up to him and giving him "fi"-five. He would walk to me say "fi" then run to the Easter Bunny to give him five. He is way too cute! Thanks for the invite Deweys!Mommy, Ez, & Easter Bunny.
"Fi!!"
Kisses from Ryah...Muahh!

FuN FiLlEd DaY!

This last weekend was good times for sure! On Saturday we got up bright and early to go to the Domino's Farm Egg Hunt. Lucky for us it snowed 8 inches the night before. But Dave and I decided that we were up for the challenge. It turned out to be quite fun, we all dressed in our snow clothes and we had a big bag to put the goods in. They had lots of prizes like bikes, stuffed animals and lots of treats. We ended up unburying about 20 eggs, but no prizes. But Braxten (Ez's little buddy) ended up with 4 so he shared with Ez. THANKS BRAX!!! After the chasing of cows (no worries they were locked up) we headed to McDonalds. Ez was ready for some "fen fies" man he loves his french fries. Later that night we went to Heidi and Blake's for dinner and egg coloring. We had a very fun filled day! Thanks Hulets and Fausetts!! We need to do it again soon.

Our cute little family.

Ezzy's Easter Egg Hunt!

Ez absolutely loved looking for his eggs in his words "oot balls". But loved the treats inside even more. I think that he ate about 25 jelly beans. He thought he was in heaven. Holidays are even better when we get to see Ez light up to all the fun new things! HAPPY EASTER!!!

Ez

These are just a few of my favorite pics of Ez taken recently. He is quite the character. He is starting to talk a ton. I can't believe how fast they grow up. I love this little man! (The gate is blocking off our office. He loves taking the envelopes out of the box.)

Nona's Cheesecake.

Many of you have been able to enjoy my mom's homemade cheesecake. And if you haven't you need to. I absolutely love it! I make it probably twice a month. About a week or so ago Ez really really wanted to help, I found no reason not to let him. So here it is Ez the lil' Chef. He did surprisingly well keeping it clean.

Helping Mom stir.

"Uh-oh, han." Ez hates having dirty hands.

Problem Solver-Lick it off...mmmm!

Stealing a few more licks :)

I can't believe you took my spoon!!!

Hair Growing contest

Ez and I are in the middle of a hair-growing contest. We started a few months ago and it ends in May, right before I start work. I posted this for your mid-contest comments. Now, I know the tendency will be to vote for Ez, but I encourage you not to do so for five very good reasons: 1) as cute as he may be, don't forget that there is a source for those mighty fine good looks, and don't insult my boy by saying he got them from a yucky girl. 2) You may want to vote for him because you don't want to hurt his feelings, but that is just going to undermine the boy's sense of self-worth. Let him genuinely earn your praises, otherwise he will do drugs and injure small animals for fun. It's true, I read it in "The Absolute Final Word in Parenting Strategies". 3) Don't forget to take into account the curl in my hair. Z's is bone straight. 4) my hair is longer than his. Trust me. And finally, 5) He can't read anyway, so he won't know the outcome, whereas I can read and I am kind of sensitive.


Vote on the poll to the right.

More Urban Exploration

It's not often you can--or want--to visit America's 1st and 3rd most dangerous cities in the same week, but here in Ann Arbor we are 30 minutes away from each. For those of you not lucky enough to have been to the largest U.S. city with a one-syllable name, check out our pictures of Flint, Michigan:


A bit short on coming attractions.
