Easter Fun

Joey is the coloring expert in the family.





This was Andrew's idea of preparing the eggs for dipping.

Grandma Bee even got in on the action.

Andy thought the egg holders looked like bubble wands.

Joey really wanted a red egg, so he left that one in the whole time.

This is how Andy's creations are made.

His finished product.

Joey ate nearly all of the celery that we left for the Easter Bunny!

They each had their own personalized eggs.

The Easter Bunny hid our eggs and left the boys some toys, candy and toothbrushes. He even nibbled on the celery we left him!

The boys discovering the goodies in their baskets.

Andy took a break from the egg hunt to put his tummy on the window. Only he knows why.

Mommy and Me Easter Egg Hunt

Unfortunately, Andy was really sick with a double ear infection and wasn't able to go to the egg hunt. Since I planned it, I was quite disappointed for him.

Joey had bunches of fun. I tried to take a couple of pictures of Joey and Ty, but they would never look at the camera. They had their eyes set on finding eggs and didn't want to waste time with pictures. Can you blame them?

Birthday Wishes

I helped the boys make cupcakes for my birthday. Joey is really good with the mixer and even better at licking the bowl.




Licking the counter, now that's a first.

Now that is what I call licking the bowl!!!

Andrew even helped frost the cupcakes....kind of.

Grandma helped the boys surprise me with a cupcake and a song. It would have been a bigger surprise if I hadn't made the cupcakes and pulled out the candle. :)

Joey's Mean Face

Joey really wanted me to take these pictures and then he had to see them on the camera. He is very proud of his "mean face", a little too proud.

Children's Museum Art

The Children's Museum has an outdoor garden area that you can paint it. It was a gorgeous day and this was a wonderful way to enjoy it.

This was serious business for Joey.

Andy was literally covered from head to toe.

Sidewalk Chalk Bandit

The water table wasn't safe.




Neither was the trampoline.

Tool bench? Yeah, he got it.

He even caught the slide on the way down.

Can't forget the inside of the climber.

He did miss one important location...

The sidewalk!!!

My Motorcycle Gang

Joey and Andrew played on their motorcycles out in the circle with our neighbor's kids. If you have ever heard one of these on the pavement you can imagine how loud four of them were, especially when you add in the constant screaming. I am sure our other neighbors really appreciated it. I didn't realize that I didn't get all of the kids in the pictures, but my kids are all that is really important, right?

Bubble Bath Fun

A Lazy Morning With Grandma

Camping With Grandma Bee

Joey LOVES camping and he talked Grandma Bee into having a campout in the backyard.

Playhouse Disney Live

We went to Playhouse Disney Live and the boys loved it. They were in awe of seeing all of their favorite TV characters live. Mommy loved it too.

At Home Haircut

Joey decided to trim his own hair. He took his scissors during craft time and cut the hair on the top of his head. I was only a few feet away doing dishes, but he was quick! I looked over to see a pile of hair on the table and one on the floor. He also still had a pile on top of his head. I took him in for an emergency haircut, but there was no hiding the holes that he had made. The kicker is that it was the day before picture day at school!

BFF's

I had to steal this off of Courtney's blog. She snapped the picture when we met at the park. Joey and Ty have been best friends since birth and were so excited to see each other. Court, I am so glad you were able to capture the moment.

My Awesome Son

Joey got the Awesome Award at preschool today!!! Each day one child is given the award for having a great day. Joey has gotten the Super Singer award quite a few times in music class. Many times he has been Kasey's Kool Kat in recreation, but never the Awesome Award. Joey likes to hit, kick and disobey more than he likes to get awards. Today he finally had his awesome day. He got the Super Singer, Kasey's Kool Kat, and the Awesome Award!!! It honestly brought tears to my eyes when his teacher told me.

My Little Artist

Joey loves to draw and this was a picture he drew of himself and Daddy. To help with the words, the d's in daddy have flags on them (his idea).




Joey loves airplanes just like his daddy.

Warning: Contains Poop

Joey, "Can I please have a sucker?"
Mom, "No, you already had one"
Joey, "Please!"
Mom, "No, you have had enough sugar"
Joey, "When I eat, the sucker goes in my tummy and when I poop it goes out with the sugar. If I poop, then I can have another sucker?" (Big smile like he has really figured something out)
Mom, "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha......"
