Happy Birthday Kevin!

 We were also in Tallahassee for Kevin's birthday.  That's where he was born - so it was kind of cool to be back there.  Mimie of course made his favorite dessert - brownies and ice cream (or as they call it - brownie delight).  The kids wore FSU shirts in honor of daddy.  These kiddos sure love their daddy!
 They also love dessert!  Ha!  Hope you had a great birthday Kevin!  We love you and are so thankful for you!
Got a good pic of Kevin with Papa.  Somehow I didn't manage to get one with Mimie.

Easter in Tallahassee

This year we were in Tallahassee with Kevin's grandparents on Easter.  We started our vacation by heading there to spend a couple of days.  It ended up being pretty chilly there!  These aren't the best pics, but I was so glad to get a few.
 We so enjoyed spending some time with Mimie and Papa.  They were wonderful hosts and I know it meant a lot to Kevin to be there.
 These two.  Love them.
 Man my eyes are looking older.  And the puffy under eye thing - argh.  I blame this little mess.  :)  (Not the fact that ahem I am in my late thirties).
 A great pic of Will and daddy!!

School Egg Hunt

Since Easter was after April 15th this year, I got to go hang out at the kid's Easter Egg hunts at school.  It was so fun!  It occurred to me the morning of that we really had not done any practicing or discussing what was going to happen with Kendall.  I remember us doing practice runs at home before Will's first hunt.  Oh the poor 2nd child.  However, Kendall didn't hesitate one bit.  That girl burst out of the room and started shoving eggs in her bucket like she knew exactly what to do!  It was hilarious and really not at all surprising.  The girl is spunky and can handle her own.
 Efficiency.  Two eggs at once.  I like it.
 I only saw one other kiddo with more eggs than Miss K.  I ended up helping out some of the other kids as she was just fine on her own!
 Will's hunt was outside and he was thrilled that I was there.  That made my day.  He's so cute and thoughtful.
 He did great.  No unnecessary meltdown - he just had a great time!
 He also got the most eggs out of his class.  They counted.  He got 44.  :)  The Tooker kids know how to hunt!
 So the Spiderman outfit and bucket (and blue socks) weren't really my pick, but 4.5 years into this parenting thing and I am learning to pick my battles.  He can have this one!
