After a wonderful wedding, Craig and I came back to our hotel room (which was attached to Ammy and Papa Davids) and found two sleeping kids. We decided that it was time for the Easter Bunny to do a little work before heading to bed. With eggs hidden in both of our rooms, we went to sleep very excited about the fun to be had the next morning. Kylie and Cooper woke somewhat early and were so excited to see their wonderful Easter baskets that Ammy had made for them. Then Kylie started hunting for eggs. Every time she found a plastic egg, she would get so excited, she would bring it over to Ammy and I on the bed, ask us to help her open it and she would investigate the contents. The eggs were filled with yummy treats like honey bunny cookies, power berries, little "doggie bone" snacks, yogurt covered pretzels and stickers. She did a great job finding the eggs, we only had to help out a little bit. She had so much fun hunting for them, that we ended up hiding them a couple more times.
Cooper enjoyed watching Kylie run around and he LOVED his new pop out book. It is still one of his favorites, even though he is not very gentle with it and many of the pages are slightly ripped :o)
After a wonderful Easter morning we headed down to the hotel lobby and joined Ama and Papa for breakfast. Then we headed in to the city to Pier 39!
Waiting in line for the merry-go-round. Kylie and Cooper had been watching it go round and round for a while when we decided that we should take a turn. They charged for every person, including the adults to stand next to the kids, so we decided that I would venture alone with both of them. It seemed like a good idea until Kylie decided that she didn't want to go, then she did want to go, then she wanted me to hold her the whole time, then she was crying, then she was happy...and the whole time Craig, Diana, David and Quin and just watching the circus and laughing.
It was at this moment that I wondered if this was a good idea, we had not even started going yet.
But it got better...
The second half of the ride Cooper waved at everyone the whole way around, he loved it!!!!
Although it is not always easy, I love tandem nursing these wonderful kids.
Especially when they are sweet to each other.

We hung out at the hotel the rest of the day and headed home on Monday. The kids and I had a flight home while Craig, Carol and Melissa drove and my dad went stand-by.
I was proud to be able to make the trip by myself with both kids, we didn't have any luggage which was nice.
Cooper has been enjoying riding on my back more and more, he does not seem to like the carriers as much as Kylie did, but overall he does really well.
We made it on the plane.
And found the car that Craig had parked in long-term parking!
It was a very successful SF trip, we wish we visited my brother more often, the city is so fun! Hopefully we will make another trip soon and maybe catch a Giants game!
I am getting closer to caught up! And the more I write, the more I realize that this has become about documenting our family and not about Cooper's 1st year, oops.
