Candy, Candy, and then more candy

Easter was very "eggciting" this year (according to Trevor and Cambria). The Easter Bunny did arrive (thank-goodness!) bringing lots of sugar and some fun new toys. At our house, the Easter Bunny comes on Saturday morning instead of Sunday morning and this year he tried to be tricky; he hid the Easter baskets. Trevor thought that was pretty clever but it didn't take him long to find the hiding spots for ALL the baskets.


After enjoying the generosity of the Easter Bunny, we were off to an egg hunt at the Kemble's house for the primary. Trevor was sure he was going to win (I'm not sure what he wanted to win, but whatever) and Cambria gave up the hunt after about 10 eggs and decided that the slide would be more fun. (Thanks to my friend Camille for the pictures. Due to my pregnancy brain from 3 kids, I forgot my camera.)



After our fun primary egg hunt we went over to Nana and Papa's (G & G Kent) and had another egg hunt while Nana took pictures.
To end the day, Ethan threw-up four times because I think he had a few too many M&M's and jelly beans.
Yes, Easter was fun, but I think we've had our fill of egg hunts until next year (and it might just take us that long to finish off all our candy).

No More Training Wheels!

Triumph!

On his way!

It's an exciting day for Trevor...he can now ride his bike without training wheels! Awhile ago, Trevor decided that he wanted to try riding his bike without training wheels because all of his friends in the neighborhood ride their bikes without training wheels. He was nervous but determined that he could do it. I talked to him about how it was okay if he fell off, crashed, or couldn't do it right away while Tyler took off the training wheels. I didn't want him to get frustrated, but it turns out I was all worried for nothing. The FIRST time Tyler let go of the bike Trevor did it! I stood there with my mouth open, watching our very coordinated 4 year old just start riding his bike. (Tyler couldn't believe it either.) I was all prepared for tears, scrapes, frustration, but Trevor didn't fall...at all! It's a good thing I got it on video tape because I can go back and know I didn't imagine it. Trevor is amazing...good job, Kid!
