Just for kicks, Brett and I decided to go the Stanley Cup Playoffs!! We were in attendance for the 4th game in the series between the Coyotes and the Red Wings. Now, obviously, we were rooting for the Coyotes (because I have an intense hatred for the Red Wings and because they're our home town team.... for now) but we were surprised by how many Red Wings fans there were. We were SURROUNDED by them! I thought the guys behind us were going to be a problem... they were loud, crass, and drunk-- but as the Red Wings kept getting better throughout the game, their attitudes got better too, so we were able to have fun anyway. We did end up losing (6-3, and they got swept in the series...) but it was nice to be able to be rooting for the home team. The only other times we've gone to a Coyotes game is when the Av's are here and we're cheering for MY team... so it was nice to celebrate when the big buzzer is going off for once :) Even though we lost, we still had a great time, and now I can say that I've been to a Playoffs game :) (Check that off the bucket list!)
My first Playoff game! Go Coyotes!
Next up, is Easter! The Bubs unfortunately got pretty sick the Thursday before Easter. By Saturday, he was doing a lot better, but wasn't quite up to par. So, he missed the Midwestern Easter Egg hunt. (It's a pretty big deal up here, kind of like a carnival...) So, we decided that we had to make our own egg hunt for him. We colored the eggs and then I went and hid them on the lawn out by our pool, and Brett brought the Bubster with his Easter basket to collect the goods. Then the Easter Bunny came while we were gone and brought us fun new books, toys, and a frisbee for Brett and I :) We had a great Easter Sunday and had a fantastic meal with our best buds, Sarah, Greg and Macy! What a perfect way to end such a wonderful day!
Man, are we talented egg colorists, or what??
My child has been obsessed with placing things on his head and walking around while he can't see. Case in point: In the pictures below is the box that his Alphabet blocks go in. He put this on his head and started walking around the house with the box covering his eyes. That means he was running into walls, chairs, and anything else that got in his way. He would fall over, start laughing, bring the box up and say "peek-a-boo" and then would put the box back over his eyes and start walking around again. Greatest. Game. Ever. He repeated this fun game when we were at the playground yesterday. He found a massive bucket, stuck it on his head and continued to walk around and run into the fence, the playground equipment, etc. What a nut!
Uhh... excuse his nakedness-- I don't remember why his shirt was off, but I'm sure there's a very good reason :)
Happy Easter! Here we are in our Easter best. Thanks to Mama Rae for the sweet vest, and I was excited to wear a dress that I haven't fit into for about 2 years :)
Bubs and Macy playing the piano! (They are incredibly skilled....)
Brett and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary yesterday! We went to PF Changs, ate a TON of good food, and then watched the Proposal (because... it has to do with getting married....)
So, there's the end of the month for us! I have my Tri on Saturday, and then life (luckily) is going to slow down a little bit! The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic and I'm ready for a break!!
My Little Baker! 
Dang, I love this kid! Happy baking!
