This was the first time that I got my bike out this year. In fact, I'm not sure if I even rode my bike last year. I really hope that Grayson enjoys this because I had a great time. We live pretty close to two parks. I'm guessing that we will have a few picnics there this summer.
Grayson learned a new skill. Throwing! And you will never believe who taught it to him...Mommy! Grayson loves his tennis ball. He throws and chases it all the time. Sometimes Max even plays with him.
For my birthday Trina gave me a comfortable shorts and shirt pajama set. You can see Grayson and myself reading a bedtime book as part of his nighttime routine.
Grayson went on an Easter egg hunt in our front yard. All of the eggs are colored like baseballs, footballs, soccer balls or basketballs. He had a good time grabbing them and throwing them into his basket. Walking in the grass was a skill that he hasn't mastered yet. There is a very slight slope towards the sidewalk and it made slowing down very difficult. This prepared him for the Easter egg hunt at Nana and Grandpa Bud's house. However, when the competition was on, Chance taught Grayson a thing or two about finding eggs.
Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Soon we are going to have to stop blaming Trilby's kids.
Grayson found his Easter basket full of goodies. 
Trina and I are in the market for a camper and something to pull it with. We initially thought about getting something really small and using a van to pull it, but our options would be very limited. Then we thought about buying something bigger and getting a beater truck to pull it. We have no idea what we are going to do, but we hope to have made a decision before camping season is over for the year. (we aren't buying this one, it's tiny)
The last post had a list of the things Trina got me for my birthday. Since I posted that I've had about two weeks worth of gifts. The highlights include a list of thirty (28) reasons why Trina loves me. If found these sticky notes around the house. There might be more somewhere, but I haven't found them yet. I also received a framed poster of my favorite Grant Wood painting. It's called Plaid Sweater. Here is a link for those that want to see what it looks like...
This is the cake that Trina made. It's a scaled down version of Wrigley Field. It is complete with a scoreboard and stadium sign. The dirt is made out of brown sugar. I loved it. Haven't eaten it yet, but loved the thought and effort that she put into it.
PS... Don't let Max and Marley lick you this week. They caught and ate the Easter Bunny on Friday while Trina was home with Grayson. When I told my parents about it, they thought that chocolate was bad for dogs. I was more concerned about the bones.
I also encourage you to take pictures of your kids when they are doing funny things. I really want to take a picture of Grayson when he is making that funny face that tells us he is loading his pants. It's kinda like a smile, except the veins in his neck pop out. As you notice, we don't have this picture yet. I'm working on it. One more word of advice. Don't take a picture of your spouse while they are unloading. If you choose not to take my advice, don't post it on your blog.
