Pre Easter Fun

This year was a great Easter! We kicked it off by having a Easter Party and Egg Hunt with the Mommy's. There was even a visit from the easter Bunny. This photo catches Mason in the act, he took Dustins chocolate bunny and before I could snap another shot he shoved it in his mouth. His cleft lip came in handy. lol
We took the kids to the Fountain Valley Egg Hunt. It was a great time, there were rides, bubble show, games, free massages, and of course the Bungee Jumping. Dustin was begging to go on this so I stood in line while him and daddy ventured off.  He loved this thing, it was so great to see him have so much fun. He is such a brave lil guy.

After the egg Hunter we headed over to the Taylor's to pick up some stuff and arrived just in time for egg coloring. Art headed home for a nap while the Mommys prepared all of the coloring stuff. Mr. Taylor had the kids playing in mud and digging for worms.

                 After all of the water/mud play and egg coloring the kids were done a ready for a bath!
Ashley is a perfectionist so she decided to have a BBQ that same night and color more eggs. Adults only.
This was earlier in the day, we were trying to explain to the kids how to color and egg. Of course Dustin just jumps right in.
                                                                   "We want eggs!"

Dustin was also having a egg hunt at church so he was busy decorating his eggs with stickers. See how focused he is?
                                                  He realized there were goodies in the eggs

Spring Training

We were able to make if out to Arizona for Baseball Spring Training. Art and Dustin did most of the touring and games, while I enjoyed my rest. First stop for the boys to to The Rangers and Royals field. Dustin scored on autographs and was able to meet Josh Hamilton. We went to see the Angels play at their home field. Art & Bob went to the San Fransisco Giants stadium in Scottsdale. The last game we went to was the Indians game, that was fun and Dustin was able to RUN THE BASES. That was the  most expensive training game, boy were they surprised when they realized how much tickets were. It was a great time and the best part was being able to see and appreciate all of the other major league teams. Were are excited to make this time a family tradition and look forward to the many fun memories we will be making.
