Easter Sunday - April 16, 2017

Easter Sunday was a great time with family! The boys woke up and found their goodies from the Easter Bunny, including brand new Bibles for each of them. Then, they went outside and began their hunt for candy-filled eggs. After that, we enjoyed a nice worship service and Easter lunch at Papa and Nana's house. Jesus Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed!

Decorating Easter Eggs - April 2017

I love decorating Easter Eggs with the boys every year! This year, they really did a great job of dyeing the eggs really vibrant colors! We also purchased a kit of decorations to make the eggs look like little bunnies. They turned out really cute! I love getting to spend these moments with them.

Baseball Season has Begun - March 2017

The 2017 baseball season has officially started! Games began at the end of March. Sadly, Brady's games were almost always the same time as Eli's games. Since Bill was helping to coach Eli's team, he was always at Eli's games and I was always at Brady's games. Thankfully, I was able to see a couple of Eli's games, but the reason there are more game pictures of Brady on this post is because Eli's game was going on at the same time.

Major played his second season of t-ball on the Giants, Brady played his first season of kid pitch on the Dodgers, and Eli played the next level of kid pitch called "Ozone", also on the Giants. All 3 boys' teams ended up winning and losing about the same number of games, but it was a really fun season! Eli pitched and played first base, Brady pitched and played second base, and Major was in the outfield.

BILL'S 40th BIRTHDAY! March 26, 2017

It's Bill's 40th birthday! I have been planning for two years for this birthday. (I'll get back to that in a minute.) The boys made tons of signs and put them up all over the dining area talking about how much they love their dad. I got him 40 Mountain Dews (his favorite drink) and 40 of his favorite candy bars and decorated the table. We had our traditional birthday doughnuts and a drink from Starbucks for dad. We made the day totally about him. In the afternoon, I gave him his big 40th birthday present...a big trip to the northeast! We will see baseball games at the Washington Nationals stadium, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox. We will travel up to New Hampshire so Bill can show the boys his old stomping grounds, and end the trip in Cooperstown, New York to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is going to be the trip of a lifetime! I cannot wait to celebrate his 40th birthday in style traveling the eastern part of the United States! I love you, Billy!

March Madness Brackets - 2017

Every year, each member of our family fills out a bracket for the NCAA basketball tournament AKA MARCH MADNESS!! The boys love this activity and the moment I printed them out, we sat down with some hot chocolate and filled them out. This year, mommy won...as usual. :)

Valentine's Day - February 14, 2017

I love our Valentine's Day traditions with our boys! We made heart shaped pizza and heart shaped cake together. Afterwards, they followed their clues to find their Valentine's goodies...nerf guns, candies, books, and baseball cards! Happy Valentine's Day!
