Our First Scavenger Hunt

Ethan was off from school today and we needed something to do, badly. So I decided to drive up to Landa Park, which by itself is an awesome place with tons to do. But I added a scavenger hunt to the mix...and the boys were so excited (as was I)!! I love scavenger hunts, and am so thrilled that my firstborn has the same interests as me! So I printed out their cards, grabbed some markers, and off we went!

This red-billed duck started stalking us, and we got kinda scared, so we moved to the other side of the river..

After dinner, the boys and daddy played some football (a favorite these days).

This one had all he could take and was ready for bed...can't you tell?

What a GREAT, fun day!!

Easter Celebrations 2012

This Easter was filled with so many egg hunts! From church to playgroup to Easter morning and afternoon...I've had alot of egg filling to do!! So I compiled all of the Easter celebrations into 1 post so there wasn't so much repetition.

This is the hunt at church..Isaiah had a meltdown because he was only supposed to find 12 eggs, that way there was enough for all the children...he did not like that...and basically ruined the rest of the hunt for all of us!

Such a good picture of Ethan!!

Isaiah is a bit more happy in the rest of these...Lol!

Btw, this is a stamp in the middle of Ethan's forehead. Its a mystery to us why he chose to put it there of all places...

Jacob 7 Months

Here's the update on Jacob: He is sitting up really well now. He is starting to roll across the floor, you know figuring out that he can get something if he rolls to it. No crawling yet, but I am not complaining! I kinda like that he is still stationary! He's doing this funny thing with his tongue, where he sticks it out...I think he is feeling those two teeth he has on the bottom! What a happy baby he is, always smiling! He does like his mommy to hold him though, which gives me shoulder aches because he weighs 19 lbs!! He is really getting into his solid foods..and loving those puffs. Sleeping pretty good at night, for now. My he's growing up so fast!

Mother-Son Date Knight

Tonight was a special night! My two oldest boys and I went on our first "date"! Now, I put that in quotes because this really isn't our first time out without daddy. I actually do that alot, we just don't call it a date. I would like to start doing individual dates with the boys, though.

Anyway, Chick-fil-a was hosting a mother-son date knight so, since I love Chick-fil-a, it was an instant yes! Josh took Jacob so I could just be with Ethan and Isaiah. We went with our friends Reef, Jonas, Lachlan and Liam. We had a great time!

Spring Is In The Air

Today we spent some time outside..it was such a beautiful day! I snapped a few pictures of our happy boys...
