Easter Hunt One & Two

We had an Easter egg hunt at the park and it was freezing (note Colin's coat and sweater) so we hurried and hunted all the eggs and then headed to the play place at McDonalds to eat our treats! 

Colin scarfing down some sixlets!

The day before Easter we drove to Kevin's aunt's farm (aka paradise!!) in Tyler for a day of non stop fun! 

We started by feeding carrots to their new donkeys, Smokey and Lilly
Colin played in their play house (I love these kitchen sets because they are the exact same ones I had as a kid!)
Reagan and I hung out in the shade
Kevin's cousin Andrea read Peter Rabbit while the men hid the eggs for the hunt
Waiting for the signal to run!

Finding eggs


After lunch and the hunt, it was time to try out our new shotgun!
Colin found a better way to travel across their 25 acres! It's just too bad he couldn't figure out how to steer!
His favorite part by far, however, was taking rides on the tractor train! He LOVED getting to ride in the Lightning McQueen  car!
Uncle Jim was nice enough to give several rides and Colin could not get enough!

After one of the rides, Uncle Jim let the kids feed the catfish in his pond

The boys played catch
We rode on the teeter totter
Colored eggs

And drove "Guncah Mike" and Kevin's gas powered remote control trucks
We ate and ate, played, relaxed, talked, and everything in between! It was a fantastic  day!!

Dallas Blooms

We went to the Dallas Blooms Festival at the Dallas Arboretum last week and it was gorgeous! Supposedly there are over 500,000 spring blooming bulbs!

I had Colin grab his buddy Isaac's hand so they would stay together and he just didn't let go!
They were so cute together :)

I don't fancy myself a photographer, but the flowers were too pretty not to capture!

 
 
Favorite girl!!
 
 

Baseball Boys

I can't tell who's more obsessed with baseball right now - Kevin or Colin!

They play in the living room everyday, Colin wearing his baseball hat (freebie Mavs hat, actually!), and waiting for dad to throw the perfect pitch.

My favorite part is when Colin taps the bat on the ground before he hits the ball!

Just like the big leagues!
