A Room For Two (to make room for three)







Well we officially moved Kyler in with Conner this week. They think it is the best thing ever!! Conner loves having the top bunk and Kyler loves his big boy bed with Wall-E sheets. It has probably been harder on Brian and I because we feel bad making Kyler give up his room, although it helps that he thinks being in Conner's room is so fun! But Brian and I don't get as many hugs and the boys aren't sleeping as late as they used to. They love the bunk bed and will spend hours playing games, reading books, and doing puzzles on the top bunk until Conner decides he is done sharing and wants Kyler off. They we hit melt down and have to take a break from the beds.

Easter Dinner and Party

After church we drove up to Steve and Val's home for the annual Grandma Valerie Easter Egg Hunt and dinner. It was great fun the cousins all got together and dyed eggs while Grandma and Pop pop hid the eggs outside. Then we all went out to watch the boys find the eggs.
After the hunt we all sat down to a delicious ham dinner. It was fun to see all the cousins interact now that they are getting older they play together pretty well. After dinner we celebrated Aidan's 3rd birthday as a family. As usual I made the cakes.... It was a bunny to fit with the Easter theme.

Kyler was so excited about the present we got for his cousin that he wanted to help him open it. (You see he picked out it himself and really likes it.)

Easter Morning

The boys were so excited to see what the Easter bunny left Sunday morning. They woke early and could hardly wait for Dad to see if the Easter bunny had come, which he had of course. They were so excited about their Easter baskets full of candy and dollar toys they had a hard time hunting for their eggs.



Each time they found an egg they would look at their basket some more before returning to the egg hunt.




Then they found their sand toys that the Easter Bunny left them and we went outside to see the giant turtle sandbox.





The boys haven't wanted to be anywhere else since...even today as it is pouring rain they are begging to go out to the sandbox.






After we pulled them away from the sandbox we went to church, here are the boys in their easter outfits. Conner even had matching argile socks, wich he was proud of...but somehow I didn't get a picture of them but he showed them off to everyone at church.


Dying Eggs

On Saturday we dyed Easter eggs. The boys had great fun. It was fun to watch their different approaches.


Conner took his time to get the egg the right color or right combination of colors.

Kyler wanted to color one after another and finished his twice as fast.




We all had a great time.



Kyler decided that using the spoon took too long and decided hands worked better.

Wiggle Dancing

Kyler asked me to plug in the Wiggles so he could "dance" and Conner joined in on the fun. I had great fun watching all thier "moves". They have been dancing and showing off their moves ever since. It sure brightens my day.

March was a busy Month

It's so hard to believe it's really April already. Last month was a blur between being sick and all the parties and events we had going the month flew by. I made many cakes...

Sharon and I made a diaper cake for Brian's cousin Roxanne's baby shower. It turned out really cute and we had fun at the shower. She had her baby on March 27. He was 5lb 3oz and 18 inches long.


Next we celebrated Brandon's birthday it had a St Patrick's Day theme and I made a shamrock cake.

Then on Saint Patrick's Day we were able to be a part of Ben and Angel's wedding. They were so excited and looked so happy.






Then I made one last cake for nephew Guinness. He turned two and loves Sponge Bob.
In between all the excitement Conner had a cold for several day, which Kyler caught. Then Kyler got a double ear infection. Then I caught the clod, which dragged on for over a week and then turned into a sinus infection which dragged on and on.......but Brian never caught it and we are all well again. YEAH!!!!
