Brett & Taylor about to dig into their Easter Baskets!

The Easter Egg Hunt was on, the boys were all over the place grabbing up all of the eggs.

All of the eggs started to slow Taylor down and they started spilling out.

Too heavy...

Dumping the first load of eggs and going back for more.

Taylor had so much fun doing the Easter Egg Hunt with Brett, Carter, & Emerson at Uncle Jason and Aunt Kimberly's House.

Kameron, Hayden, & Taylor would like to thank the Easter Bunny (Gammi & Gigi) for all of the goodies!

Boys will be Boys!

Taylor set up the cones just to run over them, over and over again!

As he set them up, he would count each one!

Running over the cones!

Taylor's First Schwinn Bike!

On Good Friday, we decided we would take the day and teach Taylor how to ride a bike with training wheels.  He is an expert at the tricycle so we believed he was ready for a big boy bike!  The Tiger Bike is what he likes to call it is the same bike that Kameron and Hayden learned to ride many years ago.

My First Schwinn Bike, aka Tiger Bike!

Daddy, Kameron, and Taylor working on the bike.

Taylor was checking out all of his gadgets - horn, compass, bell, and side mirror!

The horn is his favorite, every time he blows it he throws his hands in the air!

He was concentrating on what Daddy was telling him to do.

Once he got the hang of it, he had an endless smile on his face!

Look at me Mommy!

He was so excited!

Checking himself out in the side mirror while Daddy fixed something!

He kept saying big boy bike!

He was so happy!

This is what he does every time he sounds the horn!

Ready to go out on the sidewalk for a walk around the lake!

Look at his little face in his side mirror.  After this photo we literally went around the whole neighborhood 5 times which totaled about 3 hours of nothing but riding his Tiger Bike!

Hayden's First Experience in Mowing the Grass!

For those of you who don't know our family dynamics, part of the boys' chores is to do yard work.  We are the only ones in our neighborhood that does not require a yard service.  Once the boys reach a certain age they are introduced into the chore of yard work.  Hayden reached that age, the age being 10 years old.  The photos below are of Hayden's first time using the lawn mower.

Dad following close behind to keep him going straight.

Kameron watching as his duty is getting passed down.

It took Hayden a couple of times to figure out that you had to go in a straight line, but he got it!

Hayden and his new friend on Saturday mornings!

Look at that straight line in the grass!

Taylor wanted to help so much so he decided to use his vacuum cleaner and go right behind Hayden.  Needless to say, thanks to Uncle Ricky and Aunt Beth, Taylor now has a lawn mower!

Hayden getting the hang of it!

Taylor vacuuming the grass!

He was even going in straight lines!

Kameron happily handed over the lawn mower, but then said that he actually likes to mow!
