Hunter's New Bike!

Hunter got a pretty cool Easter gift this year. He got his first two wheeler with a helmet!!! He loves it!! His face was priceless when he saw the bike and he instantly wanted to go outside to ride it! He grabbed his helmet and headed out the door. He still needs some help but he will catch on quick. I have a feeling we will be doing family bike rides this summer and he will be riding his own bike instead of being pulled behind the bike in the cart. Of course, he will still be using his training wheels unless he surprises us all and is a little genius when it comes to bike riding!

Sleeping In.

This past weekend Hunter and Christian both decided it was a good idea to sleep in! How cute is this pic?!?!? Of course we do not let Hunter sleep with us in our bed. I had gotten up to take care of Evan and Hunter woke up and slipped into bed with his Daddy. Evan and I let them sleep in and they sure took advantage of it! They did not get up until 9. Wow!

Cute Pic! Wrong Team!

Cute Pic! Wrong Team! That about says it all! So, yes, we are clearly U of M fans!

Easter Fun!

Hunter had a little taste of Easter this past Saturday and he loved it! He went to an Easter Egg Hunt at a local park and had a blast picking up all the different colored eggs and seeing what kind of surprises they held! I really liked the fact that the hunt was organized into age groups so the younger kids were not getting plowed over by the older ones. Great idea! Then after the egg hunt we all went to an Easter party where we met up with some friends. Well, Hunter was not into the party at all and had much more fun running around with his buddy Patrick. So, we left well enough alone and let them run and run and run! Now I am looking forward to this coming Friday when we get to go the the Marshmellow Drop at another park by our house. A helicopter is going to fly over head and drop about 20,000 marshmellows for the kids to run and gather up and turn in for Easter prizes!!! We had fun at this event last year but it should be even better this year now that Hunter is older and it is supposed to be warm and dry! Cannot wait!! That will just be the beginning of our very busy Easter weekend!

More Kitten Love.

Hunter is still into the kittens at my parent's house. He just loves snuggling with them each and every chance he gets! He cannot seem to understand why the kittens run and hide under the couch when he arrives. Hmmmm...could it be because he is so loud?!?!? Once he calms down and the kittens venture out he sits and waits on the couch for them to come to him. Mia usually curls up on his lap and purrs pretty loud. This makes Hunter smile from ear to ear! I just hope he is not getting any ideas about kittens at our house. That will never ever happen! He can enjoy them at MeeMaw's house. We have our two kitties and that is plenty for us. I must admit that I do really enjoy seeing him so happy over the kittens. Just look at that smile on his face!

First Sleepover!

Attempt, that is. Hunter had his friend Wally attempt to sleep over last night. It went really well. The boys had tons of fun running around our house as well as Nana Kay's yard and house! We even made two beds on Hunter's bedroom floor and it was just like camping. After baths, teeth brushing and pjs it was time for bed. Both boys climbed into their camp beds and snuggled into bed for the night. At least that is what I thought. All was well and the boys were giggling and talking about the trains that they heard outside. Then Wally realized he was not sleeping in his own bed at home with his mom and dad close by. He really missed them and wanted to go home. Totally understandable, Wally is only 4 and this was his first sleepover other than at his grandparent's house. He did great and made it to 10:30!!! We will certainly try another sleepover again in the future. Until then we will enjoy daytime visits!

Lake Erie Metropark.

We spent some time at Lake Erie Metropark last week and really enjoyed every minute of it. The boys enjoyed the breeze that was blowing and we did as well. Hunter had lots of fun playing down by the lake and gathering shells. He also had fun playing on the playscape and the swings. Evan giggled the entire time of his first ride on the swings! Hunter laughed right along with him! It was great! Evan was pretty tuckered out by the time we left and he was out cold before we hit the truck. Hunter was not far behind. It was a nice and quiet ride home. Christian and I were actually able to have a conversation! Good time!
