I won't bore you with too many of the details since it already seems like Easter was a lifetime ago. Well, on Saturday my family was in town for the first part of the day. Luke had fun coloring eggs with my mom and me. In the evening, we went to my sister and brother-in-law's house for Ty's family's Easter party. They have a huge beautiful piece of property, and we ate burgers and then had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Grady was so funny. He didn't want anything to do with the Easter egg hunt, even though he knew there was candy in the eggs. He just wanted to play with all of his cousin's cool outside toys. It took forever for me to get him to put a couple of eggs in his basket, and then he just went and dumped all his eggs out and took off with his basket to go play with the toys. He did that multiple times. I ended up collecting his 10 eggs all by myself! Oh well! At least he is cute. The next morning was Easter, and after breakfast the kids went to collect all the Easter eggs that the Easter bunny left in our backyard for them. This time Grady was into it. I let them sit around and eat, in retrospect, way too much candy before church. Grady was completely wired all through church. It was a great weekend!
My mom & Luke
This is one of my new favorite pictures. Luke with his cousin Dee on the trampoline.
Luke and his cousin Dee. Dee is 8 months older than him, and they'll be in the same grade at the same school growing up.
Grady's Peeps on a stick. I just thought it was so funny how he ate off all of their little heads.
Happy 4th Birthday Luke!!!
Luke turned 4 on Wednesday. We celebrated all day long. I love birthdays! I still can't believe I have a 4-year-old!
We had a special breakfast, and Luke got to open up his presents after breakfast.
Ty's mom, Nana, stopped by during the day to give Luke his present from her.
In the evening we invited some fiends over for hot dogs and a birthday party of sorts. The best part was the pinata!
Okay, so I am a lame mom and this was only the second cake that I tried to make look cute for my kids. But Luke made a special request for a "tow truck" cake, and I couldn't turn him down. Nothing amazing, but I was pretty proud of myself. I was worried that Luke would be a little disappointed with it, because we've enjoyed watching episodes of Cake Boss together lately, but he loved it!

You did a much more amazing job on the cake than I ever would have! Great job! I need to go back to cake frosting school. Happy Birthday Luke! It blows my mind too that he is 4 and that you are having child #3! I am glad that you are doing it all first too--that way you can pass down all of your words of wisdom to me. hehe
I think your cake looks great and it looks like Luke thought so too!
I throughly enjoy reading your blog as well :) Your boys are so cute and you get the best pictures of them. Such a great talent you have.
