I think I hear a bunny coming...

Introducing a Robbins family tradition....blowing eggs...Grayson thought it was one of the funniest things!


Reagan getting personal with her eggs...she needed to get to know them before she chose their color! It is kind of like the sorting hat in Harry Potter. ORANGE it is!











Grayson was totally into this year....he had all the cups lined up and worked his little plan. He wasn't afraid to get his hands right into it.


Our littel mother took very good care of her little baby over easter. Every good mother wears her Easter hat while giving a bottle.





I just love these next couple of pictures. I think they look like Reagan is about ready to get creamed by the bat. The funny truth is that Grayson actually did hit her...yikes.




Nice Hat Grant...Grayson was sharing his batting helmet with Daddy.



The Hunt is on...

This was Reagan's first year hunting eggs...she must have a gene for it because she knew exactly what to do. I handed her a little bag and off she went collecting and collecting like it was her job. Grayson was running all over the yard and if he heard someone give Reagan hints he was right there. He only stole two of her eggs...right out of her basket. I am sure the joy of sibling rivalry is just begining.


It was a beautiful day...Happy Easter.

Spring???

Finally, finally we were able to build our snowmen....even if it did have to happen in April. Saturday was a great morning of snowman building and snowball fights and a few tears from the small wonder who didn't want to come inside when her brother got to stay out.


The proud builders of the snow people...or mice as the case may be.
In April you get the honor of building snowmen in the morning and seeing green grass by afternoon.
Sunday was a warmer day as we said good bye to our snow friends. Spring festivities resumed and a baseball game began. Reagan loved throwing the ball to whomever would acknowledge her or giving hugs to any taker. I think those are new rules in baseball. Grayson was all business in his play...new rules for him include 100 strikes and stealing bases even after being tagged.

Reagan spots the airplanes...
Concentrate....homerun!!!! (that means it went across the street)
There is the last of the snow in the yard and hopefully the last of this fluffy white stuff we see for quite some time.


Bring on the Bunny and bring on spring.

New Vision...Full Heart...Grayson's first day at Sunday School

I am embarrased to say that Grayson is 5 and just had his first visit to Sunday School. I wanted to be sure I liked a church before I commited him to the same. We have hopped around for so long it was time to settle down.

To say that Grayson was shy was an understatement! He actually clung to me. It was so out of character for him I hardly knew what to do! I stayed with him the whole time because I said I would.

I was feeling disappointed not to be in the actual worship service...then it happened...a rambunctious 5 year old was flitting around the room not participating in the lesson. He was flying around an object and chattering away. He told the teacher...."When I grow up, I want to build robots! I want to build robots that tell people about Jesus!" I guess you can learn a lot from a rambunctious 5 year old!

That's so random...

This was a week ago...we took one rail off Grayson's bed...this weekend they are both gone. We thought he might have rails until he was 15 or so. yeah Grayson!
These boots are made for walking! I just had to get a shot of Reagan in tights and her boots. She was so proud of this look. She kept strutting her stuff up and down the family room stair and falling on her face about every third time!

Go Twins....Grayson is so ready for baseball season and so excited that Morneau is back to playing! Thanks for recovering Justin....we look forward to seeing you play this year.

Every day when we come home from school Reagan repeats the same words...it sounds something like "mow, mow". And if you don't give her what she wants she is NOT a happy camper. So...we flip the DVR to "Mickey Mouse" and she settles on her favorite loveseat to enjoy her little piece of heaven!


Grayson enjoying the melting snow! He stood high on the snowbank and shoveled snow back ont the driveway. It was a big job but someone had to do it :)












Celebrating Grandpa Harry's Birthday

Check out the pink cake for Grandpa Harry's birthday...very masculine huh?

We celebrated Grandpa harry's birthday with some crazy kids and chocolate cake...how much better could it get?


Someone needs a haircut! YIKES! If pulling all the books off the shelf is an indication of love for reading...Reagan will no doubt be an avid reader.
Grayson just hanging out watching a little Disney Channel chillin in his chair.

Making Snowballs and Reagan is 18 months old

It was a chilly day but we managed to have some fun and stock up on some snowballs. You better watch out...we saved them!!!!


Who is that 18 month old? Yup...it is Reagan Anne!!!


Let's bake!!!

The family that bakes together stays together...or at least makes a bit of a mess together. Grayson was an egg crackin' fool and Reagan....well, she was "helpful".
