Signs of Summer

Can you believe it's the last day of March?!
Yes...he's playing outside without a shirt on...in the hose!
It was LOTS of fun and they had a blast getting wet and dirty.
Matthew played with potholes and rocks with his friend...but since I don't have his mom's permission, I can't put his pictures on the blog. Ethan won't mind me sharing his fun in the sun!
I love the way he looks in this picture.
I think it's the sweaty hair and the dirt smeared all over himself!

Bubbles

What perfect weather for bubbles!

Ethan's Turn

A spaceship landed in Ethan's room tonight... ...and he sure was excited!!
The Buzz pillow and tent used to be Matthew's, but he's obviously too 'grown-up' to play with it now. Ethan LOVED that he had a chance to camp out like Matthew and was sound asleep within 5 minutes! Let's hope he stays there!!
(P.S. Matthew's sleeping in his 'tent' again tonight! I hope he makes it longer than 1:30 AM or Bryan and I will have company in our bed again tonight!)

WHOA!!

Abby was REALLY scared when Eli and Ethan were on the loose with a camera in hand! I can't imagine posting ANY picture they took while I got my hair cut! They were TERRIBLY unflattering of Natalie and myself, not to mention there is proof that Eli was jumping on the couch while Momma wasn't looking and then they got a hold of Abby. She looks terrified!! I don't blame her! Can you imagine a 37 month old and a 23 month old (wink, wink, Natalie!) running rampant through the house with a camera?? Besides that...they aren't gentle young men!! Those boys are ROUGH on poor Abby!!

Little Cousins...

Don't think for 1 second that this is how these three behaved while Natalie cut my hair. This only lasted a mere 90 seconds! It's nice to see Abby was at least loving being a big girl...
She's sooo darn happy!!

My kids LOVE babies! Ethan LOVES Abby...Matthew LOVES Abby! Everybody loves Abby!!

I love this picture!! Such a typical 'cousin' picture!! :)

Camping Out...

Matthew wanted to camp during Spring Break...so he made his own camp out...in his room. Using a dog gate, some blankets and other 'necessary' items, he did a great job being resourceful. What you can't see are the Spiderman masks, Legos, and other treasures hidden under there! It must not have been too comfortable. He just woke up! (Yes, it's 1:30 in the morning. I'm taking advantage of my spring break!)

Momma and Me!


I really wish my FATHER hadn't 'photo-bombed' us...this would have been a cute picture of the two of us!!
Yes, I know it was you, Dad. You can see your fingernails and your ring. Those are TOTALLY your fingers. Nerd. :)

Sundays at The Manor

Are these two looking like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, or what??
Every Sunday after church, we all go to the Manor for breakfast.
Sometimes the boys get silly...
Sometimes they chew on each other's ears...
Most of the time the boys play on iPhones...
But usually we just eat, talk and drink coffee... I love Sundays!

Hot Tub Nights

My little men LOVE hot tub nights with their Babop! I love watching the three guys chill out with each other and just talk. I hope these memories last them a lifetime!

Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday, the boys had an Easter Egg Hunt. It was a wee bit cold, but they weren't swayed by the weather! They sure did gather up a lot of eggs in only a few short minutes!!

Meet Alice...

Alice is Spike's replacement.
Matthew LOVES her and she's cuter than the mouse.
Let's see how long she lasts before she either gets away in the house or she's squeezed to death by one of the kids.

Spike's Funeral

Matthew's beloved pet mouse, Spike, died a couple of weeks ago. He was quite a sad little man...These are the 'still' pictures of the burial...the video was posted earlier.
