Scheels Tour

We went on a tour of Scheels with our MOMS Club today. We got to see the fish tanks, the inside of the animal mountain, shot guns at the shooting gallery, sampled fudge and rode the Ferris Wheel.

Cole and Lexie checking out the presidents

Meet Cheeto! He is the newest addition to the Anderson family. We picked him out yesterday from the Humane Society. So far he has been super sweet. He lets the boys love on him and pull his tail. He is going to be a very loved member of our family.

When we were at Lowes yesterday they gave us a free tree for Earth Day. They boys were super excited to plant it. They used the sand shovels they got in their Easter baskets to fill the pot with potting soil.

I told Trevor to go get his church clothes on this morning. This is the outfit he came back with. At least he got the tie right.

Cole wanted his picture taken after his bath.

The boys dyed their eggs tonight. It was a messy project but they had a great time.

We had planned to take the boys to a couple of egg hunts today but when we woke up to rain we decided to do some indoor activities. Lowes was having a workshop so we took the boys to make bird houses. They are both getting very good at hammering in the nails. Trevor made his almost entirely by himself.

This past week famous Christian speaker and author Julie Barnhill came to Reno to speak to our MOPS group. It took a lot of planning to get her to come and we were all very excited. The night before our MOPS meeting some of the ladies on Steering Team went to dinner with Julie Barnhill. We had such a great time and spent several hours talking and laughing.

We went to the Easter event at Circus Circus. The boys got to stop by all the games that had balloons and get candy and prizes. They did a great job finding all the stations.

Cole was given a special chocolate egg that he redeemed for a prize. The prize he received was a wooden box with two chocolate bunnies in it.
After we did the Easter event we rode the tram around the hotel a couple times.

MOPS Easter Egg Hunt

Today was our Easter Egg Hunt for MOPS. The boys waited anxiously behind the cement wall while the moms set out the eggs. Both of them did really well and collected their 12 eggs very quickly.

MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt

Today was our MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt and Potluck. It had rained overnight so we were nervous we would have to cancel but it turned out to be a great day.

Trevor took his train basket as well as the pants from his Ants in the Pants game. He said it was his dogs (stuffed dogs) Easter basket.

Cole shoved so much candy in his mouth that it was running down his chin.

Cole decided to rub lotion on my feet. He put so much on my feet and his face I couldn't get it all rubbed in. He was so proud.

We went to our friend Nathan's 2nd Birthday party today. The theme was puppies. The boys were so excited. They wanted to wear puppy shirts and Trevor took his little stuffed dog with him to the party.

The boys got puppy ears when they arrived to the party. Cole wore his the whole time. Trevor wore his off and on. They also adopted a puppy. Trevor named his Hollywood.

The cake was made to look like dog food. It was a yellow cake with chocolate fudge frosting and Cocoa Puffs on top. It was really yummy!

They made puppy puppets for the craft.

Trevor named his Kitten?!?

Happy Birthday Nathan!

The kids at the party

We had our Kidgits Breakfast with the Easter Bunny this morning. Trevor was super excited to see the Easter Bunny but Cole didn't want anything to do with him.

Last weekend the boys helped Craig wash his truck. They loved dipping their brushes in the sudsy water and washing a swipe or two and dipping in the water again. By the time they were done we were all soaked.

They enjoyed washing so much that they had to wash their truck next.

Trevor's first camp out

Craig and Trevor set up our small tent in the playroom last night and had a camp out. I was surprised when they both slept in it all night.
