April's come and gone...

So April's almost over and I realize that I haven't done much posting, and we've actually had stuff to post about this month . So, in no particualr order...

This year we took Josh up to Baby Animal Days in Wellsville. Once a year, they show all the new baby animals. Saying he was excited would be an understament. It was all he talked about the few days previous to going. "We go to barnyard now?"

We weren't sure that the weather would cooperate, but we knew if we didn't go, we'd have a very dissappointed little boy. Fortunately, we made it with out a drop of rain. Ryan and I were sure that Josh would chicken out as soon as he got close to the animals, but Josh surprised us. He loved playing with the baby goats. He was so proud of himself - "look mommy I pet baby goat!" He pet baby cows, ducks, chicks, bunnys, ponies, etc. He tried to hold the bunnys, chick and ducks, but they had "sharp feet". So Josh quickly passed them to me.

The highlights of the day were the pony ride (which he did twice) and holding the baby turtles. He thought he was so cool wearing the "pony hat" - aka bike helmet. He had so much fun. It's all he talked about for days. "I go back to barnyard" - over and over!!!

After the barnyard, we went home and decorated Easter eggs. Josh had fun dipping the eggs in all of the different colors. Then he put stickers on all of the eggs. We didn't even make a mess!

The Easter Bunny made a stop at our house. He hid lots of candy-filled eggs. Josh had lots of fun hunting throughout the downstairs looking for them. He was so into it, he didn't even realize that the Easter Bunny also left a few presents - kite, ball, sidewalk chalk, new pj's, Tigger electric toothbrush (his favorite - he brushes his teeth five+ times a day!). Sadly, nothing was left for mommy & daddy, but he at least left good candy :)

Ryan made a fabulous prime rib & roasted asparagus dinner for us - YUMMY!!!! It was a good Easter!

The world is now safe because of Super Joshie!!! He has learned to put on "capes" and run around "super fast!". Usually he grabs Ryan's long sleeve t-shirts and we tie it around his neck. This morning however he improvised on his own. I guess he needed a little extra support for his super adventures - or maybe some padding for those crash landings :)

We are (or were) offically trailer owners. We decided this year we were going to buy a trailer. Both Ryan and I camped as kids, and had fun memories of it. We wanted to our children to have some of those fun memories. After lots of looking, we found a great old trailer, or so we thought. We bought it and brought it home. We started making plans for our summer camping vacations. We were excited to start cleaning it up. Then, the next day, Ryan discovered that it had been leaking and had water damage. Our dreams were suddenly halted. Ryan quickly put it back on ksl.com. Within five minutes our new trailer was gone. So we pause now for a moment of silence - Ahh! We'll miss that trailer. Don't worry, we're still in the process of looking for a non-leaking trailer. Wish us luck!
