Easter Has Already Come and Gone?!?

Happy Easter. . . a week late! I hope that everyone had as good of an Easter as we did! We headed to San Diego and hung out with my sister Em, her hubbie Matt, and lil Luke. We had a BLAST!
We were pretty nervous on how Luke would do with Patton, but the two of them seemed to get along pretty well. Luke would grab Patton's gym and shake it to death, but Patton seemed to enjoy being shaken around. Haha! BTW- thanks for letting me steal this (and a few more pics) off your blog Em. Heheh!

So, on Saturday, Em and I did some much needed shopping and girl talk. The guys stayed behind and baby-sat the boys. It was splendid! That afternoon, we did an Easter egg hunt. Em and I hid the eggs and then the boys found the eggs. Luke (and Patton) didn't quite get the jest of the whole finding eggs thing, but it's good practice for next year!

Luke would get so excited to find an egg that he'd immediately open it and eat it. Who cares about the rest of the eggs when he's enjoying the one he has now! Haha!

Sam and Patton getting ready to find some eggs!

This picture has future wedding video written all over it! I absolutely HAD to dress him up as a spring chicken, regardless of how "unmanly" that may make him appear. This is called, future blackmail! But I do have to add that he makes one cute lookin' chicken! **LOVE the hat!!**

Sam's really excited that he found an egg. . . Patton could honestly care less. He's found something more awesome than an egg. . . his own hands! He's absolutely obsessed with holding his own hands!

Em and I. . . not the best pic of either of us. . . but it's still cute. I'm realizing that the older we get, the more we look alike. Thanks Mom! :)

Doesn't Patton look so stoic in this pic?! Yes, this is another blackmail pic! Hehe! I LOVE his eyes in this pic!

Sam's caption for othis picture is, "Sam looks at the present while Patton looks towards the future." So profound dear!

That evening, the 4 of us (plus 2 babies) went to this all natural restaurant where everything is locally grown. Since we were in San Diego, there was lots of fish on the menu. Anyone who knows me knows that I HATE fish! *bleh* I ordered the burger (the only non-fishy item on the menu) and it was pretty good. Matt and Em got some kind of sea urchin soup (I had a sip and it was actually pretty decent). Then I tried some of Matt's halibut. Everyone was anxious to hear what my thoughts were about the fish, and my verdict was, "It's not bad." I think I just have to eat EXTREMELY fresh fish. . . I hate a fishy taste!

That night, we all went down to the beach and walked along the boardwalk. Sam and I were stealing smooches while Patton slept his lil heart away. It was just so beautiful. I seriously wish we could live there one day. *sigh* Sam just needs to work harder! Haha! j/k! Well, we had an enjoyable time in San Diego! We hope to make many more trips down there!
