Spring Days

 Blowing bubbles

 When I took out the ice pops for the boys Caleb saw the green and his whole face lit up as he exclaimed, "LIME!  I love lime!"

This weekend was absolutely GORGEOUS!  Like, shorts and a tank top gorgeous!  We invited Caleb over to plant some herbs and vegetables (because Joseph informed me that it was Earth Day) but the kids ended up playing bubbles, soccer, as well as driving around in the John Deer tractor.

Jake's First Easter

 Jake's first Easter!

 Matching pj's!  The Easter Bunny must know that Joseph likes to match his little brother.

 My new panini maker cooks more than paninis!

 Twice baked potatoes were a hit!

Obligatory Easter deviled eggs.  Meh...

Easter was lots of fun this year with two kiddos.  Joseph was so excited that the Easter Bunny was going to be visiting.  He told us it was his fourth favorite holiday (after Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's Day).  We had a delicious Easter ham, twice baked potatoes, and asparagus... YUM!  Joe sure can (re)heat a ham!  I cubed it and made some mean fried rice.  Joe claims he's going to use the ham bone to make my favorite split pea soup.  We'll see when that man has a second to spare!  The kiddos seemed to like the goodies that the Bunny had left.  In all, a great Easter celebration!

Looks like they're gonna crash!

Such a warm and beautiful day! Joseph was kicked out of the house from 10-5:30!

"Give me that camera, Mom! I don't know what it is, but I know that I want to put my mouth on it!"

"Give me a big hug, Mom!"

Dying Easter eggs!

Yesterday and today the Archers came to our house so that the guys could work on Jay's workbench. Joe was so excited to help him because he loves woodworking. Jay and Dani have three boys and a little girl. The two oldest boys are Joseph's age and it works out so nicely when they play (most of the time). The weather was so gorgeous that they all stayed outside all day while Dani and I went shopping for Easter goodies. Great day, overall!
