*SPRINKLERS*

No better way to start a blog :)
I put the sprinkler on to water the lawn, but the boys found this to be a great opportunity to have fun! Could take a page out of their book, eh?



My 2 favorite boys! Dibbles McGee and Cheesy LaRoy.

Birthday Party!

We had Aidan's party today. I'm really happy with how it turned out. We invited 6 of his greatest friends and their parents (though the dad's wussed out!), had hot dogs, cake and ice cream, presents and a lot of fun. I didn't plan any games because I didn't want to stress myself. And it worked because I had a great time. Mom was able to come up for the party and I know both the boys were super excited about that!

Aidan had to have a Transformer cake and party theme. He has been huge into them ever since Jeff introduced him to the great toys of the 80's. He bought Aidan Optimus Prime and its been a ride ever since.

It was a gorgeous day - but a little windy. How many mom's does it take to light birthday candles? In our case...4.

We had a Pinata (Amy - I'll get you later for getting me in the picture) and everyone loved it. We had to keep the kids in their rightful places so everyone got a turn and no one got hit with the stick.

Aidan had some good whacks at it - but it was Coty (in the tye-dye) that smashed it open. The kids went nuts. Definitely had teh effect I was hoping for. Good job Coty!

Happy Easter

Nana has been out to visit this week while Gramps is at the Masters in Georgia. We love it though because Nana gets to spend Easter with us!!

She bought these adorable Easter outfits for the boys along with some other outfits.


The boys wore their Easter Church outfits for the short time we were able to stay at church today. Bob got to go up with the primary to sing a song.

Bubbles are a big thing in our house. :)

Like I said. Bubbles are big. Huge. True story.

And apparently so is chipped paint.

Happy Easter everyone! Remember that it is because of Christ that we are able to live again with our families and our Heavenly Father. :)

Keep one eye open

Aidan fell asleep on the couch while Harry was taking a nap. You can see what happens if Harry doesn't want you sleeping! Like I said - one eye open, folks.



He looks sweet and innocent - but I heard Aidan groaning and whining underneath.

Just before the mayhem...

HI YAH!

We've been toying with the idea of putting Aidan in Karate. I have a friend that teaches Kenpo to a small group of kids (and adults on Thursday which she talked me into going - we'll see...lol) She was amazing! Aidan had so much fun. He lacks the..uh...focus, but he really did well.





During his warm-ups he showed mad skill at balancing. It was so much fun to watch him. He seemed so big and so little at the same time. :)

Family Pictures

Jess' friend (and mine!) took family pictures for us yesterday and they turned out dang good! Not such a fan of me in the family picture - but what do you do? And so what if Aidan looks pained! My favorite family pictures are the imperfect ones. :) I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!
