Easter weekend

Better late than never?

Wes throwing his eggs in the dye.  I'm pretty sure most of his cracked.  

The finished product!

He got more than a little bit on his hands and they stayed that color for a day or so.

After the second session of conference on Saturday my parents had an Easter egg hunt with some of the kids from their ward, and Wes of course.  Here he is with all his eggs.  He thought it was pretty great!

Easter morning.  

The Easter bunny brought him this chair so he could sit outside with mom in the afternoon while we wait for Jack and Macee (our neighbors) to get off the bus.  It will also come in pretty handy at Todd's softball games which start this Friday!

(In the background you can see the project we worked on Saturday night during Priesthood session, thanks mom!)

4 years, 2 weeks and 2 days ago...

...we got married in St. Louis!  I'm SO glad we did!  It seems weird to even think about life before Todd, He's the best!

Anyway, to celebrate we were finally able to sneak away to St. Louis for a couple of days while Todd had a two day break from school!  We left Wes with my mom and just enjoyed spending time together.  We went to all the places that are extra crazy with Wes like Best Buy, and Bed Bath and Beyond.  We also tried out a few stores that I had heard a lot about but never been to before like Trader Joe's and Anthropologie.  We went to the Temple (and were the ONLY people on the session...sad), and then had dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory.  This is where we ate right after we were married, but I think we've decided to start a new tradition because we're just not that impressed anymore. 

On Friday we were able to take a tour of Busch Stadium which I actually really enjoyed.  We were able to see a lot of places that we wouldn't be able to see otherwise and learned a lot of interesting facts about the team and stadium.  For example...the grass on the field is Kentucky Blue Grass which generally grows in cooler climates SO  they have to chill the water to 41 degrees and then give it a little spritz anytime it starts to get too hot...CRAZY!

Down by the field.  We were NOT allowed to touch the grass.  

In the Dugout! 

Thanks for the great trip Todd!
