We Are Off!

Eric and I are going on vacation! To celebrate Eric finishing school (for the semester) and to have some time together after all the time he has been away at work, we are headed to Florida and Costa Rica!

Happy Earth Day to us!

Annual Cousins Easter Pictures

I think this has become an annual thing because everyone looks so nice in their new clothes. This year we did not get new clothes for our boys, so we are more casual. Or we just ruined the picture for everyone else. Sorry! Here are my favorites.

There is not a single one where everyone looks good, but that's what you get with this crowd. I love Will's face where his smile is very saggy, and looks a lot more like a grimace.

Easter Pins

I made two different Easter-y foods that I found on Pinterest. First, this pin that is rolls shaped like bunnies. I just used my normal wheat roll recipe, and then shaped the way this blogger did to make the little ears and tails. So cute!

Then this pin of Easter cupcakes. I should have used my own recipe for the cake because they did not taste the greatest. But they were cute!

Happy Easter

We did our neighborhood egg hunt on Saturday again this year. The boys both loaded up on lots of goodies.

And of course the Easter Bunny visited our house and hid lots more treats. The boys got really into the hunt.

Luke immediately opened all his eggs he found and sorted the candy into piles. And then ate as much as he could before I stopped him.

April Houses: Easter

These are the houses we made for April, and Easter. There are no Easter houses in Whimsy Studios' Flickr Photos, so these are totally made up by us.

In case you want to revisit the old ones, here are here are July, August, September, October, November, I forgot to take a picture of December and I never did January, February, and March.

This Is How Luke Plays in the Sandbox

Too tired to sit up, but he loves the sandbox so much!

Superhero Party

For Will's and Logan's fourth birthday party, we trained them to be superheros. First, we got them suited up in their capes, eye masks, and wrist bands.

Then they had to show off their muscles and super strength by holding buildings over their heads.

They also practiced flying over those buildings.

Next they fought some bad guys with killer punches and kicks. All the bad guys popped.

Then, a brother bad buy dropped a bunch of bombs and they had to diffuse the bombs with super strength and speed.

Some bad guys showed up on top of the buildings again, and our heros sprayed them with their ray-guns.

The best part of super hero training was practicing shooting webs, like Spiderman.

Wills practiced on Grandma too, but Grandma fights back.

For all their hard work, they were rewarded with lots of presents. Lots of superhero and imaginext stuff.

All the guests were wowed by the boys new powers.

We also had our treat of a Spiderman and a Batman cake.

Happy Birthday, big boy!
