Our Easter Weekend

When I was taking pictures off my camera, I realized that I never posted these pictures from March. My intention was to post them on St. Patrick's Day, but that didn't happen. So here's one of Isaac...

And one of Alex...

both in their green shirts

This is a random picture I took this weekend that I thought was really cute!

So, Clarence and Isaac were out of school on Friday due to Good Friday. I worked part of the day, and then we took the boys to see How To Train Your Dragon in 3D on the IMAX screen. They loved it! Clarence and I enjoyed it too; it was a great movie.

After the movie, we took the boys over to Clarence's aunt and uncle's house to spend the night so Clarence and I could have some Mommy and Daddy alone time. We had originally planned to take a short trip somewhere on Friday and Saturday, but then decided we shouldn't miss Isaac's soccer game on Saturday. So, we decided to go to the Melting Pot for dinner. It was fantastic! It had been 10 years since the last time we had been! What?! We've known each other THAT long?! Yep.... since December 1997! So, here are a couple of silly pictures of us at the Melting Pot.

Then, on Sunday the Easter Bunny came to our house! Here are a couple of pictures of the boys' Easter baskets.

Isaac's: Star Wars umbrella, How To Train Your Dragon book, a new Bakugan. Reeses pieces, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and M&Ms

Alex's: A Buzz Lightyear umbrella, How To Train Your Dragon book, a new Bakugan, Reeses pieces, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and M&Ms
Oh, and not in their Easter baskets, but also from the Easter bunny, were matching pillows and throws also from the movie How To Train Your Dragon. Yes, we really liked the movie!
After the Easter Bunny came we spent the afternoon with Clarence's side of the family and my parents. We gathered at Sandi and William's house to grill and for an egg hunt. The boys had a great time!

I hope everyone has been enjoying this wonderful weather! I know we have! My mind has been consumed the past few days with the thoughts that my oldest, Isaac, will be turning SEVEN YEARS OLD in a couple of days. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. I say that every year, but it's true! This time 7 years ago I was on bedrest and wondering when my first new baby boy was going to join us. I remember the nervousness, worry, joy, excitement and love I was feeling then, and the weird thing is that I didn't expect was that I would still feel all those emotions seven years later. I guess those emotions just go with being a mother, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

So, stay tuned for pictures from Isaac's 7th birthday...it's this Saturday!

Spring Break a week late

So, it's a week late, but Isaac's Spring break ended last Sunday. I took a couple of days off work so I could spend some time with my boys. Clarence got out of school early on Tuesday, so we took the boys to Chuck E Cheese. As always, the boys had a great time! Then, last Saturday, Isaac had his first soccer game of the season. He did a great job and has shown an interest in playing goalie. Our friends Kelli and Steve's son, Aiden, also spent the day with us on Saturday. They took a little Mommy and Daddy weekend trip, and we agreed to help out with their children by keeping Aiden. Then on Sunday, Grammy took all her grandsons to have Spring pictures taken. They turned out great, so I've included a few of them as well. There are quite a few pictures, so be sure to scroll all the way down...

A Bedtime Story

Last night when I went in to check on the boys, this is what I found. Isaac was reading Alex a bedtime story. He is getting so big! I am so proud of how smart he is!

Happy Birthday Aiden!

This past Saturday we celebrated Aiden's birthday with Kelli, Steve, Austin, Aiden and their friends and family. Everyone had a great time! Here are pictures from our day.

I'm not sure what they're laughing at, but Alex was ready to ride!
