Easter 2022

We had our usual Easter Egg hunt.  I'm not sure who found all the eggs first or the baskets first.  Nathan found the melted egg to win McDonalds gift certificates.  Stacy found the egg with the change in it - I think about $4.

There were more places to hide eggs and baskets this year with the playroom and bedroom completed in the basement.

 

Rylan was very interested in his applesauce and car pillow I made.

I had a harder time coming up with items for the baskets this year as I wanted to keep the snacks low in carbs because of Trevin's diabetes.  I came up with flavored water, sunflower seeds, jerky and pop rocks (which I was surprised to find and that they weren't high in sugar).  Rylan got applesauce instead of sunflower seeds.

Kaiden had found one of our old Game Boys in the basement and was very interested in playing it.  It wasn't charged when we found it so I told him I would find the charger and get it ready.  He kept asking every time he was over but I told him I hadn't done anything with it.  Well that wasn't the truth.  I had found 3 Game Boys and many games but waited to give them to the oldest 3 in their baskets.  They were thrilled - especially Kaiden.

Track and Field

Kaiden was recruited to run track when the coach saw him running at recess.  The first two track meets were run in 40 degree weather with 40 MPH wind gusts.  Not the most desirable weather.

 He did the long jump.  His best jump was 13 feet 8 inches.

He  ran in the 4 X 100 relay.  His team came in 3rd at the final meet.  

He also ran the 200 yard dash and came in 3rd.

Hide and Seek

One day when I had Gavin and Rylan we started to play Hide and Seek.  Gavin wanted to know how I always found them so fast.

 It wasn't too hard since they always hid together and almost always in the same places.  In my closet or in the shower.

Hundred Days of School

On the 100th day of school the kindergarten classes dress as if they were 100 years old.

I think Gavin looks great for his age.!!!

 Love the eyebrows!!!

Birthday Outing

I am so far behind in posting!  Way back in the first week of March we took Kaiden to the Musuem of Nature and Science to see the exhibit on Ancient Egypt.  This is what he wanted to do for his birthday.

I don't have many pictures but it was a fascinating exhibit and we had a wonderful day. 

 I am so glad he shares my love for this museum and takes the time to read the information.

Fun With Filters

Ever since I found the fun filter feature on my phone, I have had a good time playing around with it.  Here are pictures I took of the boys recently.

I told them this is what they might look like if they were Italian.
 

Thirteen!!!

This handsome young man turned 13 on the 4th!  I am sure he will be taller than me by the time he is 14.

It has been a wonderful 13 years watching him grow and be such a part of his life.  We love you Kaiden!
