Easter Pictures!

We had a wonderful Easter last weekend. We took the boys to an Easter egg hunt at the church on Saturday. Enjoyed a nice service Sunday morning, and then the Easter bunny snuck into our house while the boys were playing at the park. Thank you to everyone who sent cards and goodies to us.

Zac's cheeks are stuffed with candy!
"I found one!"

Oh Boy!!!

Zac really liked putting stickers on the eggs. He also liked dropping them in the cups of dye.

Dying more eggs! Seth had lots of fun mixing colors. Ryan was pretty funny. He had to make sure that his eggs were perfect. Maybe it's because we haven't had him home for Easter in a few years.

This was when we were setting up. Both boys were so excited.

Family Home Evening

Every Monday we have Family Home Evening. We get together sing a song, have a gospel lesson and then play a game followed by dessert. My pictures are backwards because I always load them in the wrong order. Above is Zac giving Seth a kiss during dessert.
This picture was taken early yesterday. Seth like to pretend he is Daddy by wearing his old badge. Because Ryan has his black work boots at work he wears my black boots. He calls Zac Chief, but tells him what to do. Seth chose this pose. He said Mommy take a picture of me, but wait. He went from standing to squating. Smiling to the frump face and then mumbled, "ok now." What a silly boy!

MMMM! Cookies!

Our lesson was on Trying to be like Jesus. Our game was to pop the balloons by sitting on them, then reading the paper that was inside. Here is Zac sitting on his balloon.

Seth sitting on his balloon. It took Ryan sitting on the balloon, Seth sitting on Ryan, Zac on Seth, and Me pushing on Ryan's shoulder's to pop the first balloon. We used tweezers to stab the rest of the balloons. The boys really liked that!

We started the night by singing Old Mac Donald. As the song goes the boys get to pick the next animal and put it on the board. Zac loves this song.

Some Old Pics

Seth's steering a Nuclear Submarine! Everybody run!!!!! Oops I mean swim!
Walking through berthing near Ry's bunkroom. That big buldge is Zac. I was 7 months along.

On top of Daddy's Boat! Thought you'd all enjoy these! Today is sunny however the rest of the week looks wet. April showers bring May flowers, right?

Just a couple of Pictures!

Zac is growing three teeth right now. Two molars and one canine. As you can probably guess he is a little on the grumpy side. I took this picture today during his nap. My favorite time of day sometimes. We tucked Setha nd Zac in bed last night at the same time for the first time. They both went to sleep pretty quickly and no tears! Hopefully it will work again tonight.
Seth completely another workbook today! It was his numbers one. There were lots of extra stickers, so we had to use them!

HAPPY SPRING!

Now if it would only warm up to spring temperatures. I am sick today with fevers. Think it is just the bug that's going around. Seth was really cute today trying to take care of mommy. He had asked Daddy if they could set up his drumset, and was told he needed to wait until I felt better. At dinner tonight Seth asked Mommy when are you going somewhere, so I can play my drums? I told him I was staying home because sick people shouldn't be going places. He responds, "but Mommy you can go to the hospital." He is getting too smart.

Ryan is enjoying work still. He leaves at about 7 in the morning, comes home for lunch for about an hour, and then works until about 2:30 or 3:00. He also has been working with the boys scouts at church once a week. He has a lot of fun with them and they are going on a super long bike ride next weekend. Ryan is getting pretty anxious for his new guitar to come. Every day he waits for that phone call.

Seth and Zac have discovered Veggie Tales, and love singing and dancing to their cd. They are beginning to play with each other more and more, of course they fight with each other too. Seth is really close to doing monkey bars at the park by himself. We just hold onto one of his legs while he goes across. He just needs the confidence that he can do it by himself. Zac is finally done nursing! He is growing two more molars. And talking a lot. His favorite question is, "Where'd it go?" He loves socks, and has to get a new pair of them everytime we go into his room. I'll have to get more pictures of these two.

We'll See if this works

I hope that the video works for you guys to see, but for some reason it didn't want to work right for me. I'll try again later to see if it loads better.

Having Fun!

Here are the boys waiting for Daddy to come home. All three of them get so excited when they know he's coming. We've been keeping busy lately. Mostly trying to organize the house. We only have a few boxes in the house left to unpack, but then theirs the garage. I think we'll wait for the warm weather before we attempt the garage. It is still super cold here. Our high's have been in the 30's but suppose to be in the 40's tomorrow!

We took Seth to the Dinosaur Place about 20 minutes from our house. It's actually a Natural History museum. This is Seth digging in the mine for treasure. He found lots of rocks to put in his bucket.

Then he got to learn what kinds of rocks he collected. Of course with Daddy's help.

This is the "Gold Mine".

Zac really liked the water.

Seth got to pan for "gold". Of course it was only pyrite, but he had lots of fun. He got to keep all that he found which. Whenever a kid found a larger nugget they got to yell Eureka!

Seth with T-Rex!

Zac is now walking up and down the stairs with the assistance of the wall for balance. Sometimes he goes so fast it scares me. I have a cute video of him saying peek a boo but it wasn't loading right, so I'll try again later.
