Easter

Easter Sunday was at the end of Darren's Spring Break this year. We had already spent a few days at my parents', so we opted to spend Easter morning at our place and then headed back down for Easter dinner.

While dinner was cooking we took Hayden out for a little egg hunt in the front yard. He had fun!

My cousin Andrew is stationed in North Carolina right now and was able to come up for the weekend. It was great to see him and get to know him better!

Just missing Trish and Patrick!

Spring Break Baseball

We went to our first Nats' game of the season on the 17th, right in the middle of Spring Break. We had great seats (thanks Johnny and Chelsie!!), and had a fun time catching up with cousins. The only thing we wish was better was the final score, and the weather. It was SO cold!!!

Great Country Farms

A few months ago one of Darren's schools had a silent auction fundraiser. We put a bid on a family membership to Great Country Farms, out in Bluemont. Lucky us, we won! It was still a steal, so we were excited. 

Their opening weekend was the 5th & 6th, and they had egg hunts for the kids along with a visit from the Easter bunny. Hayden's age group had the first hunt, so we headed out bright and early Saturday morning. The hunt was kind of a bust (WAY too many kids), but he seemed to have fun anyway. 

After the hunt we spent some time wandering the farm and enjoying being outside for the first time with no snow!

They have a ton of animals to see. Hayden wasn't really thrilled with any of them...

We hope to get back there a few more times before the season ends in October. We had a great time!

First Sunday of Nursery!!

This kid is finally in Nursery! And we are so excited :) We actually left him today, a week early, but he was SO ready. I'd been taking him in for a couple months and just staying with him, because it was useless to try and go to class. This kid is active!!

We tried to get a good picture before church, but he just wanted to run...oh well.

March Review

When March finally came we were hoping that Spring would come with it. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case...

A snowy St. Patrick's Day. One of Darren's 14 snow days!

St. Patty's french toast!

Not even the snowiest storm...

We've got a climber!

No clue how he did this....

March 25 in D.C....It's supposed to be SPRING people!!!

March 25 in Florida...I need to move...

February

We spent most of the month indoors (it's getting really old already), but we did get out and play in the snow with Daddy!

Darren's first snowman!

Hayden has started doing this with all of his toys....interesting...

First Haircut

On the 17th we cut Hayden's hair for the first time. It was a long time coming, but I really didn't want to do it. It started looking like a nasty mullet though, so we popped him in front of the TV and had at it. 

I think it turned out pretty cute! Even though he looks way too old now :(
