Motorcycle Mania!



Since the weather has been so nice lately, we have spent a lot of time outdoors.  That is great in itself, but also for Gavin to try out his riding skills.....ALONE.  I can't believe I am allowing it, but he is allowed to ride his bike by himself.  ONLY in our backyard.  He  goes about 1 mile an hour - but is loving it.  Sloan is very jealous and will run behind him trying to catch him.  Of course Greg is right there and won't let her get too close.  Because lets be honest, how slow he is going she can almost catch him.  Here are some pics of my little Man on his motorcycle.



My son is very tall for his age, but seeing him on this bike makes him look small!  Yikes!

Easter Eggstravaganza!

Our Easter was wonderful this year!  The weather was gorgeous and the kids all had a ball.  We had a great turn out and of course lots of yummy food and Mimosas!  The kids were up VERY EARLY Sunday morning, but we made them hang out in bed watching cartoons for an hour.  I don't think the Easter Bunny would like to be up at 5 after a night delivering baskets all around the world- especially after he (or she) hid about 80 in the  backyard at 10 at night.  She was quite worried that someone might call the police on her when she was  only using a head lamp for light.  And Mr. Easter Bunny was in the garage putting together the Kunz kids gift- per the instructions said would take 1 hour for 1 person and instead took 5 hours and 2 people.  Nuff said- everyone needed sleep!  


Here is us decorating eggs on Friday with Mom and Marv.  It was fun and the kids really liked taking crayons and coloring on the eggs before popping them in the colors.  Gavin was getting very creative.  



Now onto the fun part- hunting them all down in the house- Sloan was very into it this year, as she should be we have been practicing hiding and finding eggs since February.  Yes you read that right, my son loves doing this OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  (I was so done, that Monday after Easter I immediately took down all Easter decorations and packed up all the eggs and baskets and put them away.) And then they get to find their baskets which were hidden in the garage....






Here is the rest of our day in pics.  We had a good friend of Greg's and his parents bring his  train out for the kids.  Biggest hit of the whole day- I think it ran for about 2 1/2 hours.  We had it a few years ago and the kids loved it so much.  It was a great day- fun for the kids and adults!  I remain undefeated in Bags, but Greg can't say the same for Horseshoes!











I love the pictures of Sloan on the train all happy, getting tired and then conking out.  She looks so cute and was so exhausted!  It was a great time and I am so happy to not see any plastic eggs for another year!
