Easter Party & Easter Chicks

Today was Kyle's Easter Party at school. The kids started off by having refreshments. I think Kyle really enjoyed all the snacks that he normally does not get at home on a normal basis. In the picture below, he is eating a miniture doughnut iced in chocolate and covered in sprinkles.

Next the kids went out side for the egg hunt. They all had a great time. Kyle found 4 eggs. He was very happy with himself!

After the egg hunt, all the kids played on the playground while the parents watched. Kyle was into showing Mommy everything the playground had. We even played peak a boo with the red barrels.

After we left the school, I took Kyle to the mall where they had a display set up of baby chicks. Now Kyle REALLY loved this! At first we just looked at the baby chiks through the glass...

Then when we came back by we were able to get a baby chik and hold it up close!

Fun at the Strawberry Festival!

On Sunday we met Dee Dee and Little Pa (Ben's parents) at the Strawberry Festival. We had a had a lot of fun and thankfully the rain held off until we were ready to leave!

When we first arrived Kyle and Little Pa went down a HUGE inflatable slide that was made up like a dump truck. I think they had a lot of fun but I didn't see either one of them wanting to go on it again! :-)

Next we went to see the animals. Kyle looked at the baby cows but was really taken by the goats.

Especially when one of the goats stuck his head out of the fence and licked Kyle on the face! The picture below is of Kyle showing me that the goat got him "right there!"

Next Dee Dee and Kyle went for a train ride! This was the cutest train I have ever seen. They went round and round several times before getting some strawberry ice cream.

We had a great Sunday afternoon and we are SO glad the rain held off....Thanks Dee Dee and Little Pa for coming down and going with us to the festival!

Friday morning playdate

This morning Kyle and I had a special day....we did not go to work or school. It is a "fun day"! This has been a hard week and I had to work last weekend so was able to take today off and enjoy spending it with Kyle. This morning we met Grace, her Mom and baby brother at the mall to play.



After playing, we went to the food court for Chik fil A. Kyle and Grace got there own special table!

Kyle's first soccer practice

Friday was Kyle's first soccer practice. I will say that it went pretty good despite the rain. Kyle was very excited that Daddy got to come to this first practice with him! However I think Ben was more nervous, excited and stressed than Kyle was!!! This is Kyle's new "practice jersey".

The first thing Coach Katie had the kids do was sit on the soccer ball. Kyle had this skill down pat!

Next they played hide and seek. The kids were suppose to put there heads down on the soccer ball and then when Coach Katie yelled SEEK all the kids were suppose to dribble the ball to her. Okay... I learned something! Dribble is kicking the ball. (I really thought it was only in basketball.) Anyway Kyle didn't catch on to this too much. He thought it was much faster to pick the ball up and run to her. :-)

Then it started to RAIN!!!! And practice continued, but Kyle did not! He pretty much got drenched as we all did and then when I ran to the car to find an umbrella he came after me and wanted to hold it.

In this picture you can just see what a tired little boy he was.... but ain't he cute!?!

Walt Disney World Part 2

We are back home from Disney World! Kyle has a wonderful time as we all did! I have posted a few more pictures from our stay....

Thursday morning we started off in the Magic Kingdom with Kyle's annual haircut at the Main Street Barber Shop. I hope that this will be an annual tradition that he can get his hair cut here each year.



In Toon Town we went to Mickey's house and went into the Judges Tent and got to see Mickey and Minnie! Kyle was too cute and really enjoyed seeing the characters!


Below is Mom holding Kyle up in the pre show at the Tiki Bird Room!


On Friday afternoon, we went back into the Magic Kingdom. We had dinner at the Crystal Palace with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. Kyle's favorite was definitely Tigger!


Below is Kyle and MeMe (Vicki) on the Dumbo ride. Kyle doesn't know who Dumbo is but he thought riding on the Elephants was great!

Kyle loved the Fountains at Coronado Springs. This is an area they found while I was in class Saturday morning. Kyle loved showing it to me after I done done that morning.

On Saturday in between my classes we went over to Down Town Disney. Below is Ga Ga (Mom) and Kyle at the Hundred Acre Wood display.

Kyle and I rode the choo choo train and the carousel at Downtown Disney. On the carousel, Kyle kept saying "I ride horsey!" Needless to say he loved it!
