Springtime!!

This is the first weekend in awhile that we've just been home, with no "official" plans.  So we did lots of spontaneous things, and relaxing things.

Friday night...We just stayed at home and played outside. :)

Saturday morning, we woke up and decided to make doughnuts together. This is something my Grandma used to do with us when we would come visit her and it's so easy!


I let Caeden do all the smashing of the doughnuts, and do the doughnut-hole making!  
All he had to do was push the bottle cap down, twist it a few times, and then take out the middle.



Then he got to help pour in the sugar & cinnamon for our topping!


Then into the oil they went...perfectly golden brown!



And then the best part - EATING THE DOUGHNUTS!

After we stuffed our tummies with doughnuts, we took it easy, played inside, played outside and just enjoyed our morning together.  After naptime, we headed to the Bentonville Easter Egg Hunt!

Here he is getting a head start...He picked this up before it
started, so he had to go put it back...


And the hunt begins!!




Just for kicks, I took a picture of the crowd.
This was everyone on the field DURING the Easter
egg hunt - quite some competition for Caeden!
Thus why he only ended up with 7 eggs, out of 25,000. 


Opening the eggs to find some candy! 



The hunt was put on by Hershey's, so we got
some pictures with the candy characters!



And the Easter Bunny!
Later that night, he told us seeing the "big real Easter Bunny"
was his favorite part!

That night, we went to a friends' house to play and eat dinner.  Here is Caeden with his friend, Zoe!



The next morning, we went to church as a family, came home to eat lunch, and then dyed Easter eggs.  Yes, we did this a week early, but Reid is going to be out of town for most of next weekend, so we had to get it in before he left - this is another one of our traditions!!





Reid finished Sunday by going fishing with some buddies.  And Caeden and I played outside for a straight 3.5 hours while he was gone!  We even ate dinner outside!  Talk about a tired, pregnant momma!  But it was a fun weekend and I try to cherish each of these special moments!
