Egg Hunt at the Grandparents

Happy Easter!

We made a trip down to Evansville for Easter to see Grandma and Grandpa Meek, Aunt Krissy, Uncle Jeff, and Cousin Aidan. We had an Easter brunch complements of Grandpa Meek followed by an Easter egg hunt in the front yard large enough to satisfy 30 kids. (note: there were only 4 kids there).

Carter was introduced to the joys of little red wagons. However, he would rather push them then get in. This isn't surprising. This is what he does when we go for walks or to the store.

The Great Meek Easter Egg Hunt!

Emma found it easier find eggs without being weighed down by a basket.

Boogy Down, Carter

Carter has become quite the little dancer. His Aunt Amy will be so proud. His moves include bouncing up and down, swaying side to side and his ultimate move ... swinging his hips around in a circle. Below is just a sample of his skills. We have yet to capture the true essence of dancin' Cater on film. I'm sure there will be more video to come!

First Hair Cut

Carter got his first hair cut today. Overall it went pretty well. He liked the race car he sat in. He liked the video they put in to entertain him. He even liked the girl who was cutting his hair. He wasn't a big fan of having his sides trimmed so much, but after a couple of goldfish and a swig from the sippy cup he settled down. Next thing we knew his baby mullet was gone and he was given a balloon for the ride home.

Now, I know this is hard to believe but I did NOT get a picture of the actual event. Not to worry though, I have pictures from when we got home.

• New hair cut: $13
• Blue Balloon: Free
• Naked Carter running through the house (with new hair cut and blue balloon): PRICELESS!

Laughing Baby

Carter laughing really hard. Check it out:

In town from CO

Aunt Robin and her two kids, Montana (4) and Wilder (5) spent their spring break in Indiana. It was so much fun to play with the kids. Carter followed Montana around everywhere, I got to play with sidewalk chalk, and Wilder and Kyle played a lot of basketball. One afternoon we took the kids to Recreation Unlimited where kids played endlessly on the playground equipment. Here are a couple of highlights from the outing.

Virginia Beach Vacation

It was time for the Meeks to get out of town and take a little vacation. We met up with Aunt Amy and Uncle Kevin in Virginia Beach. It was our first official road-trip as a family. The drive itself was 12 hours each direction. Carter did well on road. We tried to drive most of the way while he was asleep. When he was awake, he was content watching the cars go by. Carter's car seat is now facing forward so it was a whole new perspective for him. We had some emergency poopy diaper stops on the way home which gave Carter some free time to practice his driving skills.

We picked Virginia Beach because Uncle Kevin was coaching in a soccer tournament. We had the opportunity to watch one of his games before they cancelled the tournament due to bad weather.

The rest of the trip was spent eating out, playing in the hotel pool and on the beach. The weather was less then ideal but Carter really enjoyed getting his hands in the sand and playing in the water with his uncle and dad.

Walking Video

A little bit of dancing and a lot of walking. Enjoy!
