Thais went in to work for just a couple of hours, so I watched Carson. This time without Sophia’s expert help. Carson slept almost the whole time – a good thing since he wouldn’t take a bottle and cried until Mom got home 10 minutes later. Ten minutes can be a long time.

April Fools’ Day
I think I found a couple of fools on my bike ride to Wheatland today. I decided to try Cuppy’s, a drive-through-only coffee place.
Once the two young women noticed a bicycle was behind them, they started laughing hysterically. The car rocked. As they pulled away, the passenger opened the roof hatch and stood to look and laugh.
While Mom got a haircut …
Grandma and Sophia took care of Carson.

Easter #1
I think the Easter Bunny should have asked Uncle Justin to mow the lawn before he hid the eggs. 
Since the wet grass came up to Avery’s knees, he was reluctant to go looking for eggs. Here he’s trapped on sprinkler head not wanting to move.
Avery has a fascination with Justin’s goatee, he likes to stroke it. And they are both big NASCAR fans.
Tractor-driving lessons by Uncle Justin:
A very good day!
Walnut tree pruning
Always so much to do for Justin!
Coloring Easter eggs
With Sophia

Lunch with Ade
We always have a lot to talk about! Hurray for good friends.
