Fun Stuff

One of Shane's many Easter gifts was a t-ball set and baseball glove. We finally got to test it out at the park and he was very excited to play the "hitting game". He can hit the ball pretty good, but unfortunately he has a short fuse and gets frustrated very easily. After he saw Daddy hit the ball up in the air, he wanted to hit it up in the air, but usually it just rolls on the ground a few feet. Also, the glove (although tiny to all of us) is still way too big for his little hand and he was tired of that pretty quickly. My friend has a son playing t-ball and his games are near our house so I am hoping to take him to watch soon so he can see how the game is really played. Since we don't watch sports in our house he doesn't really get the whole idea of it yet. But he is so cute trying!




Grandma went to Texas for a bowling tournament right after Easter. She brought Shane back a real pair of cowboy boots! He wasn't very excited about them at first, but he has grown to LOVE them! Now he wants them almost every morning right when he wakes up. He even came out of his room the other night wearing nothing but the boots. It was pretty darn cute, but I won't post the naked pics on here :) You can't see the boots very well, but here he is in full cowboy get-up!



I am very excited to attempt camping with Shane for the first time this year! We have a big tent with a tiny tent that attaches to it, so I got out the tiny one to show him. He thought it was the coolest thing ever! He calls it the "kitty house" of course and wanted to go to sleep in it. I bought him a toddler size blow up bed which he also loves and wishes I would leave out for him to play on every day. Let's hope he is still as excited when he REALLY needs to use it for sleeping!



To sum up this funny little post, here are the pictures I received on my phone at work today. Ryan took Shane out for pizza and they had a fake mustache machine! I am thinking he might need to be one of the Mario Bros for Halloween this year!! Too funny!

Easter 2010

Easter was kind of a last minute event for us this year. Ryan's best friend passed away unexpectedly and his services were the day before Easter. Shane and I colored eggs together before the services on Saturday, but he wasn't as into it as I thought he would be. He didn't like the smell of the vinegar used in the colored dyes and wouldn't even come near the table! I had also bought him these fun little paint rollers to color the eggs with, but that was still a little too hard for him to do so he gave up pretty quickly and I colored most of them myself. It also rained on Easter this year, so we had to improvise and did our Easter Egg Hunt upstairs at Grandma's house. Shane was still sooo excited! He would point out every egg to us and wanted to make sure we saw it before he would put it in his basket.

Of course he had to line up all of his eggs.

Then I thought he would really be excited about helping us crack all the hard boiled eggs to make deviled eggs, but as soon as the first one was done he totally freaked out! He cried hysterically and wanted us to fix his egg! After that he wouldn't let the eggs leave his side. Grandma hid the eggs for him again upstairs three more times and he thought it was so much fun! Then Grandma was nice enough to let Ryan and I go to the movies to see Clash of the Titans in 3D while Shane napped. We found out that he insisted on having the eggs right next to him during nap time too! He also insisted on having them ride with him in the car on the way home. Then I had to explain to him that Easter was over and after he went to bed that night the eggs would have to go away...surprisingly he was fine with it, but he still played with the plastic eggs for days after until I finally hid them from him. I think next year I might just do plastic eggs so I don't have to worry about him carrying around real eggs all day long!!
