JJ did his first Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning. He did great but tried to pick up a few eggs at once and he tried to eat some in the wrappers he was so excited. We then went out shopping for Sean’s new lawn mower and got JJ his hockey net from Great Grandma John for his birthday.

Easter Saturday
It was a beautiful day on Easter Saturday. The kids both got kites from Grandma and Grandpa Cousins so we took them to the beach to fly them. Poor little Katie didn’t enjoy the wind at the beach so I kept her bundled up in the stroller. She missed the whole kite flying.
Sean and my dad also rented a trailer and got the rocks for the dog run which is so great because now the dogs are almost mud free. They also did a huge dump run from all the Reno's. That has freed up so much room and taken a big weight off Sean’s shoulders. I can’t believe how much work they did. It’s a good thing they had a big dinner to fill them up after. We did our Turkey dinner on the Saturday because my parents were taking the 5pm ferry back on the Sunday. It was our first really family turkey dinner in my new kitchen. We used the convection oven which cooked the turkey perfect. I'm sure my mother had a lot to do with the perfect turkey also. You can see in the pictures my dad teaching Sean how to cut the turkey and JJ was also learning for the future when he invites his mom and dad over.
Doodlebops!
We took our little man to his first rock concert the other night, The doodlebops. The concert was on the mainland on Thursday night so we packed up the kiddies Thursday morning and headed to my parents place. during the day on the mainland we picked up Sean’s new wheels from his grandpa :) which means I get my van again! It has been really difficult living here with no car but we just never got a chance to get back and pick up the other one. I'm so happy now! Then we had a visit with my parents and Sean’s family before we headed to the doodlebops.
JJ loved the doodlebops. at the beginning he was a little unsure of what was going on but as the other kids started dancing in the isle so did JJ. We had a bit of a difficult time keeping him near he wanted to go stand at the very front near the stage. It was so neat to watch all the little kids dancing the night away. We thought for sure he would fall asleep on the rid home but he was way to excited. My mom bought him a toy doll from the concert, Moe. It’s too funny in the show they are always looking for Moe and I swear he always goes missing in our house and we are all walking around looking for Moe. Where’s Moe?
