Happy Easter!












Hopefully everyone had a great Easter! We sure did, it started with Tony waking us up at 7:30. We made him wait until Riley woke up or 8:15 before he could start searching for his Easter basket, mean parents I know! Once we were all up it took Tony no time to find where the Easter bunny had hid Riley's and his Easter baskets, it the coffee table! We had eggs all over this house! I think we have them all but I am sure we will still be finding them in the next week or so :) Tony got the movie Bolt, along with a ton of other things, we all watch it together this morning. It was a great Easter morning. We then went and met both our parents at the Brickyard Crossing for brunch, it was yummy! Once we were done there we went home for Riley's nap then headed out for some Easter geocaching! It was a great day together as a family. With the month of May coming up I know time together will be rare for the next seven weeks so it was good to have one day together and have a blast :)

Pretty Easter Eggs...









We spent Saturday early evening coloring Easter eggs. We had a blast and made a huge mess, I think that is tradition at our house :) Ron and I have just as much fun as Tony. Riley wasn't too impressed she couldn't figure out what we were doing. She was more interested in trying to figure out how to get the water out of her new sippy cup! Chase loved it because Ron and Tony would share the eggs they were eating. I even tried to repaint the kitchen wall when I dropped an egg into the blue coloring, oops!

Easter Egg Hunts!










We got up early this morning for Tony's first soccer game. We were literally walking out the door at 8:00 am when I noticed Ron had a missed called. I had to run and get something and told him he better check it. Well, the coach had called last night and they cancelled the game because of how cold it was!
So, we looked at each other and decided to go get some Starbucks and figure out something to do. What better thing to do than go find some garage sales! We found a few before we had to be back in Brownsburg at the park for the first Easter egg hunt of the day. It was madness, we went last year so we knew what to expect. At least it wasn't snowing this year! There are so many kids Tony doesn't get that many eggs but it is just enough to make him happy :) We went home and did some things around the house then headed out to McCloud Nature Park for our second Easter egg hunt of the day. We had not been to this one so we didn't know what to expect. We will be going back soon, we all think there have to be some caches there and it is a beautiful park. I think we were all more excited about the park than the Easter egg hunt!

First Race of the Season!











Ron and Tony had their first race today and it was a great day! Ron finished 4th in the Tag race and won the Shifter race! Tony had his first adventure out in his new kart! He did pretty good, the first class he raced in is a pretty tough class, he finished 14th. The second class he raced in he finished 2nd! He was so excited to finally get a metal :) Tony looked really good out in his new kart, I have a feeling we will be seeing his first win at New Castle this year!

Ron finally is back on track :)

Tony's new kart! He is officially a big boy now :)
This is what Steve and Terri's retirement looks like by the way!

Stock Moto Kart




Monday afternoon Steve and Ron headed out to New Castle to knock the dust off Ron, oh wait I mean the karts :) Actually, my theory is they have to make sure Ron put them together right and they don't fall apart! I think that was the second question I asked when Ron called to tell me about the day :) Steve spent a lot of time and effort on the new graphics, they are awesome! We will have no issues finding Ron or Tony on the track, as long as they can keep the karts on the track :) Sunday is the first race of the season and I think we are all very anxious to get back out and have a great season! All joking aside I hope both boys kick some butt this year! I am very hopeful that this year will bring Tony's first win and New Castle!
