Full of Giggles

Dylan has been full of laughs these days. I guess it might have something to do with finally cutting 8, yes, eight, teeth (he has the top and bottom 4 already!). He's really been such a joy to be around. Well, ok, for the most part. After 6 pm babies just go into their "Witching Hour" and I just don't count those ;)

Easter Fun

Where to start with this post?! We had a Ward Family Invasion for Easter and it was a blast! :) We took Sean to the community Easter Egg Hunt where he found eggs, pet lots of animals and rode a pony for the first time.  We spent some good time just relaxing, shopping, eating, celebrating John’s birthday, boating and just catching up.  I can’t explain how much it means to all of us that everyone drove all the way here – it’s a long haul but we’re always so happy to see everyone.  And Sean was pretty enamored with his Aunt “Chelle”, Aunt Megan and Uncle Marshall – he’s still talking about them! haha

HAPPY EASTER 2012!

Thanks Aunt Laura and Uncle Ernie for the awesome T-shirts!

Touch a Truck

Last weekend we took the boys to an event called Touch a Truck where you can get up close and personal with all things trucks.  They had cars, fire trucks, buses, dump trucks, 18 wheelers… you name it.  You can only imagine Sean’s excitement when we got there – he’d never seen anything like it.  Our first stop was a dump truck.  The driver actually asked Sean if he wanted to honk the horn but Sean politely declined.  He said it was “too scary” ;) Here’s a glimpse at some of our stops:

At 2:00, all of the cars/trucks planned to honk their horns at the same time. For the adults, it was actually pretty cool… I couldn’t help but take a video of it:

It went on for over a minute, and we all know that’s like a half hour in kid time.  This was the the final result, poor baby.  He tried so hard to be brave but the last 15 seconds just did him in.

Afterwards we took the boys to the Big View Diner and got Sean his first milkshake!

By the time we got home John and I were giggling – we decided we acted more like grandparents than parents that day! No naps, running around in and out of trucks, milkshakes for dinner… haha.  But those are the best days, aren’t they?
