Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Ryker was so mad before the Maiben Park hunt Saturday.  Note to self: Don't get there 10 minutes early.  He could see all the eggs and just wanted to start.  We had to keep going and getting him as he rushed the eggs.

His bucket kept him a little occupied, but it wasn't enough.

Luckily a lady in charge came around and gave everyone some candy.  He got a sour piece of green licorice which I didn't think he'd like, but it did the trick. 

Yeah, maybe a bit sour.

Finally!  Go!

And stop.....he had to open each egg to see what was in it before he picked up the next one.  I was totally fine with that because I didn't want him getting a bunch of candy anyway.  I was happy to see they all had stickers and temporary tatoos.

Off to watch the big kids hunt.

Checking out his Easter basket from Mom and Dad.

I think he liked it.

Ahhh, thanks buddy.

Hunt #2, Grandma and Grandpa Wyman's house.

Comparing his loot with his cousin Asa.

Anyone for a post egg hunt ride?

Rykers first naked hot tubbing!  He was the only naked one though.

Hunt #3, Nancy's house.

Rabbi in training?

Nope, just a chip bowl.

Alexis' turn.

Cheese!

Apparently it was party hat time with Clayton because all these picutures just showed up on my Mom's camera under his watch.  We had a wonderful Easter.  Thanks everyone for the egg hunts and great food!

So Long Dad! Catch Lots of Fish and Hurry Home!

Stunna Shades

Squeezing in some quality time before Dad has to leave.

"You could have packed a little lighter Dad!"

"I totally could have gotten it, but you can help if you insist."

"Got your ears on Cooter?"

Is this thing on?

Best view on the boat and Ryker's favorite seat for seeing all the dogs on the walking path and everyone that is coming to the boat.

Yep, he saw Dad headed back up to the pickup.  That's always exciting!

He yelled, "Dad" out this window for about a half hour straight.

Tike, Ryker's new BFF.  What a great dog!  He belongs to Scott, one of the guys that crews with Seth.  Ryker had a great time playing with him at the marina.

House Progress

Seth got some stain on the facia before he left for Alaska.

Our radiant floors are ready to be covered with a thin layer of concrete. That will probably happen when it warms up....maybe May or June.

Yes!  We gave gutters.  That will help with the moat surrounding our house.

A Boys Best Friends

Ryker now insists on feeding the dogs.  If I do when we're in a hurry, he gets mad.

Chacon starts with a few peices that missed the bowl.

Love you Cosmos

Love you Chacon

Ryker and Seth often use Cosmos as a pillow when they take a break in the yard, but I don't have any pictures of that.  Here's Ryker hanging with Chacon though.

"Hold on Chacon, I have to take this call."

Ryker's Random Stuff

Ryker got this potato off the counter and insisted on keeping it for days.

He used it as a phone for a while, pushed it around like a car, attempted to throw it like a ball, but I put a stop to that.  I'm not quite sure what the deal was.  Maybe since he didn't know what it was, he was trying to figure it out. 

Anyone for potato peek a boo?

I made the mistake of pulling all the empty hangers out of my closet and putting them within his reach.

He didn't play with them for too long before he realized he could break the hanger part off.  He started breaking them all, so I had to end the fun.

The only thing he enjoys more than cruising in his towel, is cruising naked!

He actually isn't bad at vacuuming.

Let's get this thing running Dad.  I'm ready to mow.

He can now work his zippers so I often find him like this.

See Grandpa Geoff, he's going to need a pony.  He can't wear the hat with the car forever.

After this smashing incident, I don't think he can wear the hat anymore anyway.
