Family Trip to Portland May 2011

Early in May we took a family trip to see Nana and Papa in Portland. It was Blake's first time on an airplane and he did great. Mom and dad went to the coast for two days so we had all kinds of fun with Nana and Papa.





Papa helped me put the food out for the squirrels.




Nana and Papa's house has a lot of squirrels running around it. I liked to watch them when I was a kid - now Blake gets excited when he see's one.




Mommy and daddy's hotel on the coast. Their room was at the top with the balcony.


I played Wii bowling and got a lot of strikes!

Easter

We had a big Easter weekend. Daddy, Grandpa Deiter and I took a trip to KS Friday/Sat to pick up a mower from Great Grandpa so Mommy and Blake were on their own for a couple days. They had fun playing together but Blake really missed ME the most. He gave me lots of kisses and hugs when he saw me Easter morning.

and falling out of the box

Decorating eggs is so much fun, but also hard work, can you see how hard I'm concentrating on getting this egg just right?

Finally Easter morning. We started our egg hunt outside. The Easter bunny had fun hiding eggs outside and inside. Blake was really good at finding eggs, but not as good as I was.




We love our new flashlights the Easter Bunny brought for us
and all the presents from Nana and Papa

Blake like playing with the "hair" and pulling it all across the room

Blake got a hold of my chocolate bunny, he didn't want to give it back to me, he really liked it.

We went to Grandpa and Abuela's house to visit with them for Easter, Abuela made a wonderful lunch for us and the Easter Bunny left us some baskets and hid eggs at their house as well.
