Spring break, Easter time 2013 & Oliver’s 3rd birthday

Okay I know you are all thinking Halloween in April, come on Sara! I am still trying to catch up, but fortunately I am putting more recent stuff down as well.

During spring break we went to Science Works. Oliver loves to hang out in the bubble room. He especially loves the bubble maker that forms a bubble all around you. But he kept standing too close to the edge and kept popping the bubble with his bubble booty! 

He is pretty good at making bubbles. Look at that giant one!

Owen, Oliver and Nicholas posing for a few pictures. 

Owen is being silly as always!

Easter Egg hunt at Genevieve’s annual Easter party. It was raining when we arrived at first but luckily it stopped just in time for the egg hunt.

Oliver is always generous and offers me some of his candy. (Probably because it had some weird filling or something). I probably ended up eating half his candy since he didn’t like a lot of it.

I wasn’t joking when I said Oliver is generous. He is always concerned about other people. He is also very polite and says please, thank you and I love you a lot!

Oliver clapping after he got a bean bag in the hole at his birthday party. Daddy painted the cross bones on the boards the night before the party. Yeah Daddy and Oliver!

Oliver is very excited as he waits next to Graham and his family for his turn at the pirate piñata.

Deven was in command of the piñata.

Oliver taking a swing at the pirate hat. “Ahrrr!!!  There be treasure in that pirate hat.” (We filled it with golden peanut butter cups, a favorite of Oliver’s and gold chocolate coins).

Owen was laughing a lot here because dad was jerking up the piñata every time he tried to hit it.

The cake didn’t exactly go with the pirate theme, but we love Costco cake so why not.

Oliver blowing out his 3 candles.

All in all it was a really fun birthday party. It was plenty warm even though it was overcast. Right at the end of the party it started to rain pretty good, but lucky there were only a few things left outside that were really easy to pack up quick. Everyone just ran to their cars and left. It was perfect timing.

Oliver playing with one of his toys after the party. Yeah!

Wait a minute! What did Deven do to his hair! After a less than desirable haircut Deven decided to go bald, but not all at once. He sported a Mr. T haircut for at least half a day.

Easter morning. The Easter bunny decided to bring bunny ears and bunny balloons. These expressions of Owen’s made us laugh.

Oliver was very happy to discover all his goodies.

What was left of Oliver’s birthday cake was had as the treat for Family Home Evening which was Monday, April 1st the night of Oliver’s real birthday.

So I hope you have all enjoyed this blog. I still have to figure out how to insert movies. As far as I can tell now it is done through a You Tube account so I will have to double check my sources.

Love you all!
