The world of dirt bikes

I am beginning to feel that my life is centered around dirt bikes, although I do not ride one myself my days are consumed with this sport.

Happy Easter!

We started our Easter celebrations early by going to Grandma Field's neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. They had sections of the park designated to certain age groups so Preston was safe from wild children fighting for eggs. We sat Preston down on the grass where all the eggs were and he just looked up at me and Kathleen with his usual stare and I could imagine him saying something like "what are you doing to me". Most of the "hunting" was done by me with me putting eggs in Preston's basket while he chased after a puppy. It was fun and Preston liked being around so many wild kids he actually screamed when I put him in the car.

Easter morning we enjoyed the worlds BEST blueberry pancakes made by yours truly. We went to my mom's house for Easter dinner and another easter egg hunt for the grandkids. Preston was equally excited for this egg hunt as he was the last. Again it was more me hunting for the eggs. Next year he will enjoy this more.

New Tricks

Preston can take a couple of steps on his own, with a little persuasion on your part. He has learned how to put his hands up to balance himself a little. Its so fun to watch him learn how to figure things out. I'm still waiting for him to figure out how to hold his own bottle.

You will also see in the video that he has figured out an alternative to turning things around. And his second word, "tickle.tickle.tickle"
