Easter Bunny Tracks!



Looks like the Easter Bunny needs to learn to wipe his feet at the door!


Devin was pretty excited to follow the tracks in the morning!

Devin And His New Tools.....Papa Ted Would Be Proud!




Thanks for he cool new Black and Decker tools Tim, Tammy, and Brett! Can't you see I love playing with them!?

Apples are YUMMY!







Gavin decided to finish off is brothers apple yesterday. Devin has a bad habit of wanting to eat the apple whole and only eating about 1/4 of it. Gavin was happy to have a go at it as well! I never thought I'd get that thing away from him!

Gavin's 1st Shot At Coloring....FAILED!

Yesterday we broke out those Crayola marker things for younger kids. I thought maybe Gavin would be able to handle it. Well....he did good for all of about 30 seconds and then STRAIGHT TO THE MOUTH! Then, Devin thought his brother looked cool so he decided to copy him. Sigh. Needless to say we had quite a mess to clean up! Maybe I should hold off on finger painting for awhile too! And, in Gavin's defense. He has never done anything but eat at the table.....must have thought it was food! :)
Not doing too bad......

UH OH! Marker in the mouth!


And blue hair........

And a copy cat brother! Maybe Gavin is still a little young for coloring!




Coloring Easter Eggs


With Devin's party this year being on Easter weekend we were REALLY behind on coloring easter eggs. But, we got around to it on Easter afternoon! We had an egg hunt afterwards but it was just Devin in the living room since the weather was so cruddy on Easter.

Happy Birthday!

Devin's 3rd Birthday Party

Alan "The Popcorn Man" Hudson. I'm afraid Devin will never call him Al again!
Loading up on birthday cake!


Michael and Devin waiting for some cake.

Blowing out the candles.



I think everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to Devin may have been his favorite part. This kiddo loves to be the center of attention!






Mindy, Sam, Drew





Grandma Carol and her present for Devin. Devin named him "Oso".

WOAH! A picture of Mommy and one of the boys. Thanks Jeannie, this NEVER happens!

Can he get any cuter?

Alan making the kettle corn.





Everyone outside enjoying the nice weather and waiting for some of that delish kettle corn!







Devin had a wonderful birthday party! We had 41 people come to share his special day with him this year. We're so lucky to have such great friends and family.
The day was a bit chaotic for me...but the kiddos never even noticed! We enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs, mac salad, chips, fruit, veggies, punch, cake, and ice cream. The kids had a great time running around eating some FANTASTIC kettle corn made by our friend Alan and tooting away on their wooden train whistles. I had some games planned for the boys but the food took longer than expected to cook so we ran behind. It was a great time none the less and Devin had a BLAST! Thanks everyone for coming to share this special day with Devin. He is so lucky to have each and every one of you in his life!
