Easter

This year, we celebrated Easter a day early. Our church had extra services and encouraged the members to go to the Saturday services, as Sunday would be packed. So Saturday it was!!! I got the boys matching outfits (some day, they are going to hate me for that) and we went to church. The church had a huge Easter Egg filled with candy that they dropped from a cherry picker...the egg exploded and candy went everywhere. The kids had a heyday running around, collecting the candy! On Sunday, the Easter Bunny came! By the time Isaac woke up and Daddy and I got out of bed, A.J. had found all the hidden eggs from the Easter egg hunt...note to self: hide the eggs later in the day when the kids aren't looking so they can BOTH hunt for them!!!

The look so sweet (looks can be deceiving)!

Easter Eggs

This year, A.J. couldn't wait to dye Easter Eggs! He asked almost everyday for 2 weeks if we could color the eggs. Finally, on Good Friday, we dyed the eggs! A.J. had picked out a Star Wars 3-D coloring kit and Isaac picked out an Elmo coloring kit. Both boys had so much fun dying the eggs...then they wouldn't let us eat them!!!

Abby Cadabby the Labby

Just thought I would update with some new pictures of Abby. We put her in puppy classes for 6 weeks and she does really good now...we still need to work with her more, but who has time when you have two boys (especially MY two boys)!!! She has gone from being about 9-ish pounds when we first got her to being 56 pounds at 7 months!!! I told her it's okay to be big-boned ;-)

Football

This season, A.J. decided to try his hand at flag football (we're making our rounds through all the sports). His buddies, Ryan and Avery, are on the same team with him. I don't know if this sport will last, but at least the boys are having a good time goofing off with each other!

Of course, the dads have to analyze the game!!!
