Cameron and Drew going crazy on the air trac... Drew wouldn't sit still, but at least I got all of his ladies... Rainie, Cameron, Isabelle and Hannah...
Waiting patiently for cake...
It's an Elmo ice cream cake!
And Elmo cupcakes! I didn't realize I had invited so many people, so I brought the cupcakes as back-up and they were a big hit!

Eating yummy cake...


Present time!! Now that's a ball!! Friends helping out...

Drew got lots of presents and had a wonderful time! I am pretty sure all of the other kids had an awesome time also, at least it looked like it!

We had Easter lunch at my parent's house. Drew is blowing bubbles with his new peeps bubble blower...
Rj and Drew went for a 4-wheeler ride before we ate...

Happy Easter

What would Easter be without an ELMO Easter Basket!! Drew was so excited!!
The Easter Bunny left all of Drew's eggs out in the yard...

Saturday, RJ and Drew decided to try out the pool. It was 73 degrees - way too cold for me - but we just bought a new creepy crawley and the pool was so clean. I didn't get any pictures, but they did actually get all the way in. Drew thought the amount of water that came out of the pool from RJ's cannon balls was hilarious!!
We also turned the back patio into a water wonderland...
Here they are right before taking the big plunge. If the sun had been out, it would have been a perfect day!

After waking up from our nap Sunday afternoon, my parents came over, and mom and grandma helped Drew color easter eggs. (Yes we had a very busy weekend!!)
Drew is actually pretty good at this, for being his first time...
Great Grandma had a blast helping Drew with his eggs...

All done! Look how pretty, and they even have stickers on them! After the exciting egg coloring, we played a little wii, here RJ and my dad are playng baseball...

This morning we went to Chuck-e-cheese with Kim and Kellen. Drew did not know what to think of that place at firts, he was so overwhelemed, and terrified of Chuckee. That all soon changed.

Here is Kellen and Drew riding the roller coater...
Drew was not into this clock ride...
Taking a cruise with Chuckee...

One of the only rides that Drew was actually into, we rode this one a couple of times. It is a bike and the faster you pedal, the higher it goes up...
Drew, Kellen, and Bailey...
Chuck-e-cheese...
Me, kim and Drew checking out Chuckee...
Drew waiving bye-bye to chuckee after one of chuckee's songs...

Kellen on his air guitar...
Chuckee was throwing up tickets for the kids to go after...
Drew, being the little helper that he is, picked them up and tried to give them back to Chuckee...
He was really in awe by Chuckee..

They also had paly-doh and sidewalk chalk set up... Drew has never played with playdoh before so that was quite interesting... Of course he couldn't stay away from the baloo-loo-loos...

Saturday we had a very full day. After the little gym in the morning, we met Kim and Rainie at the beach, it was SO nice out. Drew ran around and played for a couple hours. After Drew's nap, we met Jodi, Will & Weston at CorMeth (Will & Weston's school) where there was an easter egg hunt. They had a really nice set up, with real bunnies to pet, crafts area where the kids could color a bag for eggs, egg hunts separated by age groups, and snacks afterwards. After the egg hunt, we went back to Jodi's house and went to the beach - AGAIN! Drew had a really good day.

Here is Drew petting one of the bunnies...
Giving the bunny a kiss...
Hunting for eggs, at first he would just walk past the ones he didn't like, or pick them up and put them back down, but I finally got him to start putting them into his easter basket...

Drew cut the egg hunting short so he could get some playtime in...

Drew and dad wrestling around...

Drew likes to attempt to wear my Ugg boots... He doesn't get very far in them!

Heidi bought Drew an Elmo hat! He kept it on all night, almost went to bed with it, and it was back on his head first thing in the morning!!He LOVES Elmo

Again, being silly in the bathtub. This time as a 23 month old baby!! One more month and my baby will turn 2 years old!!

Visiting with BaPa before bedtime

Drew thinks he is so funny in the bathtub, making obnoxious noises with the ducky...

Friday night we went to Shells for dinner to celebrate, and try to talk him out of, Chris is leaving for Russia in a couple weeks to take a course with Cambridge University and then teach English to Russian adults. He could be gone up to a couple years.

Me and Heidi...
Justin, Ed, Dustin and RJ...

Finally Chris gets into some pictures...
Why would Chris want to leave all these wonderful people?????
