How many Easter Baskets does a kid need?

Most people don't believe me when I say that Josh is rotten, but he is. On Easter, not including the Easter basket from mom and dad, Josh received 7 Easter baskets. You can't tell me that he is not rotten with a capital R. Seriously though, it is just a testament to all the people who love Josh and that he loves in return.

Josh was finding what the Easter Bunny left over at grandma and grandpa's house. Josh received his first fishing pole to go fishing with grandpa this summer.

These are some of the other baskets Josh received. One was from his great-grandma Ro and the other was from his great-aunt Kathy and great-uncle Steve.

I think that this was the first picture we have with my parents and all the grandkids.

My sister and the fam came down for Easter. It was awesome to visit and watch the kids play together. The visits are always to short.

The Big Rig Story

Well, all good stories begin with well ya' know, Eva Jo has a friend that has a son who drives a semi and arranged for Josh to go for a ride. At first he was a little scared, mostly because we think he thought he was leaving us. After the initial shock, Josh enjoyed the ride and was even able to "drive" the semi while sitting on dad's lap.

Of course the best part of a semi is honking the horn.

One week from today we leave for our vacation to Dauphin Island in Alabama. We are all so ready for a vacation and are starting to pack. We plan on doing a lot of hiking, birdwatching, have lunch or dinner on the beach, play in sand, and go on a dolphin cruise. Basically, we plan on having a blast.

Thanks again for all the goodies for Josh.

We love you guys,

Matt, Jenny and Josh
