A short update...

During our recent trip to NY we went

to visit T's uncle at his firehouse. (And

yes, T is on the verge of tears with the

jacket on...it was HEAVY!!!)

We go to "This is the Place Park" a lot since it is right around the corner from us. T loves the trains, the petting zoo, and the pony rides!

HIRED!

Today I took T to the zoo. We go so often that the simple act of going to the zoo isnt a big deal, but today something very VERY special happened. T was accompanied by his good little neighbor friend "I". For the first time T didnt want to be held or sit in the stroller, he just wanted to run around the zoo with his friend the whole time we were there! It was awesome! But to top it all off...my child, who does not take naps...TOOK A NAP! Apparently his friend ran him so ragged that he just had to take a nap--a 2 hour one! I am so eternally grateful to our little friend "I" ! He is HIRED!!!!!

The latest adventure

We took the little guy swimming last week and he absolutely loved it. He has alwasy loved the water and lately bathtime has become a bit of a battle trying to keep the water in the tub--so we promised him we would take him to the pool where he could splash all he wants!

Not a thrill seeker...

We have learned that apparently T is not a thrill seeker. Because we live on the east bench we have to go down a decent sized hill to go grocery shopping. I have been wanting to get this on camera for a long time an I finally got it. I was alone so it isnt very good because I was more concerned with driving. He hates this hill. Im a terribly mean mommy but we think its funny.

Easter

T really enjoyed Easter this year! We had a family Easter party at my grandmothers house down in Ephraim, Utah. We have been hiding eggs for him at least a couple times a day since then! He loves looking for eggs and hiding them!

Our "Spring Egg hunt"

Today our Shoreline Community had a spring egg hunt. It struck me a little odd that they didnt just call it what it really is...and EASTER egg hunt. Apparently we have to be politically correct even when talking about free candy. Anyway, the party began with an Adult Egg Hunt. Lets be honest...Im a competative person. I like to win. Its a weakness I am still trying to make a strength. I wasnt so much concerned with what I found...I just wanted to find it. All of it. I wanted the get the eggs. None of this wait up for your kid stuff; nope, not me. I was like "well, its the adult egg hunt, move over shorty." (I didn't really say that to anyone). So here I am running every which way climbing through these like prickly bush things and climbing tree's and sliding through snow (yes, I do have small cuts all over my hands and ankles). I'm all sorts of shoving eggs in my pockets and everything. Well when its all said and done we end up with candy we really don't need but we will gladly take and a gift certificate to smiths and toys R us. We gave the smiths one away cause we weren't allowed two. oh well. Then we had the kid egg hunt and I was like "Dude, stop looking as whats inside and just grab some eggs dude! hahaha" I think T had a lot of fun. He's a much better person than his mom and he enjoyed watching other kids finding then eggs more than he enjoyed the finding himself. He is such a good boy and I should learn from him! Then we got lunch. Yum. We had a lot of fun! Sorry I have no pictures. I forgot to take the camera. It the spirit of the time of year...
HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

I guess I deserve it...

I am a cynical person. Well, my child is too much like his mother and I guess I deserve it. Lately, he has challenged me with many things. The most recent...

T: I want some more gummy bears
Me: They are all gone
T: I need to see it all gone
Me: T, they are all gone, there is no more.
T: I wanna see.

He does this with everything he wants or if he disagrees with something I tell him. He seems to always want proof. Needless to say I think his daddy has to teach both of us how to have a little more faith!
