Spring Break

The boys had spring break this last week.  We had TONS of fun!  We went to the new children's museum, and bounce u. 

 one of the days we dyed Easter eggs.  I bought 5 dozen eggs....not sure what I am going to do with all these eggs now!  But the kids had fun! We found an egg spinner this year, you put the egg & a few color drops and push the button & it spins the egg around and colors it.  We definitely got our $4 worth out of it!

 David also had a baseball tournament this week so we had to spend half the week at the fields.  The boys played hard & well and made it to the playoffs.  The team they lost to in the playoffs ended up winning the tournament. 

At the field we were at this week for games there are drinking fountains that have a fountain on the bottom for dogs.  Well, leave it to the trouble makers, Nathan & his buddy Kai-Kai (his brother is on the team) to find something to get into, since the backpacks of toys, bikes and scooters weren't enough!  These two fun little boys figured out how to turn the dog fountain on and were taking turns turning it on for eachother and drinking out of it!!

 As sad as it is that my kids are growing up, to fast sometimes, it is so much fun the older they get!  They were SO excited for Easter.  They were up at the crack of dawn this morning ready to hunt some eggs! They each got a bucket of candy, toothpaste, toothbrush, book, sunglasses and swim goggles.

Thomas & Nathan in their new church clothes and sunglasses they got in their Easter baskets.  I LOVE this picture of these two crazy little boys of mine.

My three boys ready to go to Emi's blessing.  Today we went to church with my family for Emi's blessing (Steve & Lidia's new little girl) after we went to Grandma & Papa's house for Easter dinner with our family & Lidia's family.  It was such a fun time.  All the kids played so nicely together and it was so fun to visit with family!  The kids got to have an egg hunt after dinner.  The boys were so tired by the end of the night, the all fell asleep on the way home!

After a week of going to bed late, sleeping in and getting to do fun things all day we are ready for summer vacation!!

time flies.....

I can't believe it is the end of March already! We have been crazy busy so far this month.  David has started football this month in addition to baseball at least 4 times a week and scouts.  Thomas started t-ball (and is LOVING it so far!).  Nathan is loving all the park play time he gets having such active brothers!

We have been putting in a lot of time on our new swingset since the weather has gotten so nice!  We love to lay in the saucer & eat popsicles.

I picked Thomas up at school last week & found this!!  He cut his hair during class!  It was at that moment I was SO glad that he wasn't a girl!  When I asked him about it there were lots of different versions of what happened and who cut his hair.  The final story was that he did it because his brain told his hand to do it.  So, he got a 0 buzz cut that night!

 David went on his first 11 year old scout camp out last weekend, Keith was able to go with him. As they were getting the car loaded Thomas grabbed his pillow, dog, & bedtime story and tried to sneak along with them.  He was so upset that he wasn't allowed to go.  

so to try to make up for not being allowed to go on the camp out I took the little boys to Chuck E Cheese!  We were there forever!!  The boys had SO much fun though!

 When we got up the next morning we went to check out the new children's museum in town.  They LOVED it!!  We were there from open - close and neither one of them complained, or whined about anything!  They ran around and did everything.  They did cry when we had to leave....definitely a good sign!

 And of course we finished our weekend up with ice cream, where Nathan discovered his hidden talent! 

touch a truck

Today we went to Touch A Truck!  The little boys LOVED it!! It was at the Orleans, and there were a ton of trucks, police cars, ambulances, army trucks, helicopter, destruction derby, construction vehicles, all kinds of little boys favorite things!  This will definitely be an annual event for us.  

Nathan had no fear, which surprised me since he is very shy and usually needs to hold my hand to be brave, and he never talks to people especially people he doesn't know.  But he walked right up to this fireman and started talking to him!  He did that at almost every truck we went to.  It was really neat to see him break out of his shell for a little bit.  Thomas on the other hand, wouldn't talk to anyone or even go in the trucks for the first hour we were there!

 We got to watch Robosaurus move around & eat a car

 And of course, the trash truck was a highlight of Nathan's day!  I think he went back to it at least 3 times!!
