Easter egg hunt

The Saturday right before Easter, that morning we headed to Winnebago for an Easter egg hunt. They had rabbits their that kids could hold and pet. He really liked holding the bunny. Devin and the bunny got their picture in the Winnebago paper!! That is because he is soooo cute.

And we are off!!
After they were done their were a bunch of eggs in the area for the bigger kids, so Devin headed over to pick them up.

Filling his bucket.

Look at that full bucket!!


Easter Egg Coloring

Devin loves to color eggs. On the Friday before Easter, that night we got everything ready and color 18 eggs. Devin would have kept going if we had more. He was so proud of his eggs.

Here Devin and Ben are waiting for me to put everything on the table.

Devin coloring the egg before he put it in the water.


Waiting for the eggs was such a hard job.

He would keep taking them out of the fridge to look at them. If we would have let him, he would have kept with him all evening.

Our Little Superstar

This week Devin is the Superstar at Daycare. Each week they have a new child is the star student. It gives the children and their families to get to know each other. Devin is soooo excited and proud about being Superstar this week.




Alexis' Dance Recital

Last Thursday was my niece's dance recital. I am so proud of her. She did an awesome job.

My favorite little dancer!!!!

Spring

Spring is here, but where is it. We have had a handful of good/nice days in the last month. About two weeks ago Pat, Robin and the kids came for the day and we all hung out at my mom's house. We all got a little sunshine and fresh air.

Devin had to test drive the Gator and see if it was ready to go. It is still at my mom's, at least for a few more weeks. First, the grass needs to dry (well it either needs to stoop raining and snowing soon for that to happen) and second he really needs to start working on riding his bike.
Alexis really likes her quiet time with Ben or at least his phone to play games!!!

Everyone helping get the grass ready for Spring.

Tea Cups

Here is a video of us riding in the tea cups. I love listening to Devin during this little clip.

Disneyland

Just to start off this is going to be a long post, but mostly pictures of our vacation. We started off last Sunday and Devin got to experience his first plane ride. His reaction to it was as we were going up, "this is way cool!!!" For a three year old he did a great job on the plane. The longest leg of our trip was from Chicago to California and the same when returning, it was a four hour flight then. Luckily he did nap both times!

When we got to California we got to our room and then headed out for a little while. That night was the only time that it misted/rain while we were there. When we returned we had treats waiting for us.
That next morning we headed down to our hotel's lobby. We got to have breakfast with a few different characters. This is one of Devin's favorites, Stitch. He wasn't too sure about the characters. It was OK if we held him, but as for going up to them on his own that was not happening.
The entrance into Disneyland!!!
Family photo!! They had photographers all over the place and they would takes pictures of you and your family and they even would do it with your camera.
This ride would be the one that Devin refers to as the "shot aliens" ride. He really liked to shot the aliens.
They also had a Jedi training session while we were there. Devin got to watch and even see Darth Vader.
Riding the horses was always a big hit.
Mickey Mouse!!!
This was at California Adventures and no we did not go on it. I asked Devin and he informed me NO.
Riding the fish.
Trying on hats. This one was a big hit.
The tea cups!!!!!!!!!!!
He loved them!!!
Getting ready for the ride to start.
Donald Duck
GoofySully from Monsters Inc. When we first saw him they informed us that he wasn't taking anymore photos, but would be back in 30 minutes. So we stayed in that same area and waited for 40 minutes and then we were first in line to get our picture taken with him. Devin watches this movie over and over everyday.
Of course mom wanted to get a photo with one of her favorite characters so we found Tinkerbell.
Devin enjoyed this ride also. He was able to drive the car, well with a little help from either mom or dad.
Sitting in Goofy's car in Toontown.
We went to ESPN just for dad. The two boys played a bunch of games, well I played a few too.
Then for supper we headed downstairs and ate at a table with a touch screen TV on it and a huge screen on the wall. Dad was in heaven.
To finish out our trip we had breakfast with goofy before we headed to the airport. Devin was able to have pancakes, pizza, and strawberries for breakfast. He was so excited about that.
