Somerset Beach Campground Hunt and some practice

It was a beautiful day for some Egg hunting at Somerset Beach Camp Ground. The local firefighters sponsor the event and the kids really have fun. We also spent some time in the house the night before practicing up a bit. Tyler really got good at hunting this year. So cute.

Easter with Gma Vicki and Gma Cathy

We had a special day with Grandma Vicki and Papa Ron the Thursday before Easter. We had ham and potatoes and some really good desserts. Then we colored Easter eggs and had some practice Easter Egg Hunts. We sure did enjoy our time. Tyler was so tuckered that he tried to fall asleep before coloring...we finally got him into the mood though:)

Spring Stadium Visit

It was cold, but we enjoyed the day at the Spring Game for U of M. Then we enjoyed dinner at Applebees and Chuck E. Cheese. Tyler, who had to be convinced to attend, ran through the stadium chattering "This is fun!" As always, Ryan enjoyed the day.

80. Sunny. Toledo Zoo.

We really enjoyed the weather and the company. Then we ate at Culver's and splurged on Sundae's. Can't wait for warm weather like this.

Loving Moments

We've noticed that nugget is wearing down. He is 16+ years or more...I can't remember. He has never been much of a people person, especially little people. I am Loving that the boys are wanting to know Nugget as they've never really shown interest. I am Loving that Nugget seems to need their attention just as much. He can often be found looking for Tyler and following him around the island begging for treats. Oftentimes, we can be heard telling Ryan to leave Nugget alone or to let him go or to put him down. Inevitably, Nugget seems to stay right by his side with no gumption to leave or jump down. Our family is evolving and I am Loving it.

Too funny not to post.

I always set out our clothes for the next day so that we are ready to roll and so we don't bother Jimmy while he is sleeping during the day. When I turned around, Tyler approached me with this and said, "Mommy, I've got your contacts." He thought he was so funny. It was more than funny. I guess when I go down to change clothes at night and take out my contacts he asks what I am doing and must think my bra is a contact! Ha Ha.

Let's Make a Michigan Cake

Ryan woke up one morning last week thinking he wanted to make a Michigan cake. I really didn't know what he was thinking and I really wasn't looking forward to adding food coloring to frosting that would make all of our lips turn blue so I asked him to make a sketch of his cake. He agreed to compromise with green stripes and a white background for the field and then used a blue easy writer to make a M center. It was pretty tasty too:) I love that he is starting to use his own imagination to come up with projects. Tyler helped make the cake and named himself the official icing taster while Ryan created his masterpiece.
