Happy Easter!! Round 2

After going through the boys' Easter baskets, we went to Grammy for a bit! Luckily, it was another beautiful day, and we got to spend some time outside! The boys aren't all dressed up yet, as we must always wear "play" clothes at Grammy's house. Eli can't help but dig in his dirt piles over there!!

Miles and Daddy

Miles took a break from outside to try out Grace's new toy!
Eli LOVED the rocket balloons that were in his basket...

Love his silly face in this one!

I can't tell you how many balloons he pumped up, and then chased...

Grace modeling her Easter dress

Miles was worn out by the long morning/afternoon! My overgrown boy was all passed out!

Fun with Grammy, boo boos, and coloring eggs!

We spent the day over Grammy's house today! It was so nice outside, so the boys spent a lot of their time running around, but Miles snuck in some one on one Grammy time! Warning, there are a ton of pics!

Miles was laughing hysterically during this!

and quickly after he was tired and crabby, so Papa Steve, AKA "the baby whisperer," got him to sleep!

While outside, Eli managed to smash his thumb in a car door...his poor little boo boo!

But in no time he was back to playing! On a side note, I had to run up to the store, and I hit the jackpot! I got 2 of these little cars, 2 little tikes picnic tables, a Step2 art easel, and a Step2 castle with slide....all for $25!!! Now Grammy's house is loaded up with even more toys!!

Miles snacking on some food as we started to color eggs

Grammy and Eli

Uncle Matt and Peej

The boys had a BLAST!!

And they were both very upset when there were no more eggs to color!

Crooked glasses due to crying and wiping his own tears, lol!

They did pretty good, and only broke a couple!!!

Enjoying the weather!

It was beautiful outside today, so we called over Uncle Matt and Peej to enjoy the weather with us! It was nice to have all of the boys finally feeling better, so we were taking full advantage of this opportunity! (Matt and little Matthew got the same stomach bug we had...yuck!)

Miles, looking like a little meditating buddha

This foot looks like it would taste good....
Yum!!

Eli having a serious conversation with Uncle Matt!

A gentle push...

Weeeee!!

Miles enjoyed being pushed by Eli as well...

Although the happiness didn't last!

Happy Birthday and Congrats Aunt Lynn!!

Today we had a double celebration...my Aunt Lynn's birthday AND her retirement! We rented a room at a local rec center so all the kids could run around like crazy...and they did! I took over 100 pictures, so here are a bunch of them, lol!

Avery's Birthday, round 2...3 and 4!!

Today was Avery's birthday party. After a busy day of Storytime Live, visiting with our out of town relatives the Castora's, and then off to Avery's party, it was amazing the boys were still in good moods! As soon as we got there, Eli and Avery didn't waste one second before playing!

Miles had some fun with Tata (although he didn't want his picture taken!)
Happy Birthday round 2!
(Round 1 was on her actual birthday!)

One of Avery's cousins, Quinn, was in the potty and missed it, so we had to sing again. As you can see, this didn't bother Avery one bit!

Round 3!

(Grandpa Kahl missed it this time!)

Eli was beginning to wonder what the heck was going on!

And finally, round 4...Joe, Dina, Mera, and Bella arrived and needed to sing too!

After being very patient, Eli finally got some cake!

Hope you enjoyed your party Avery!!
