Easter

Jesus is risen indeed, and we are so grateful!  We celebrated Easter this year with a couple of Easter egg hunts of course.  Our sweet friends the Seales also gave us some "Resurrection Eggs," which were plastic eggs that we opened once a day to see what was inside.  Each day the contents of the egg told us a piece of the Resurrection story- it was a great way for the kids to learn and remember the true meaning of Easter.  The first pictures here are of the MOPS Easter egg hunt.  Sweet Jordan- the hunt was just for preschoolers to enjoy, but he could help out all he wanted...and of course, share the treats at the end.  :)

 We ate dinner at Celebration that evening- one of our favorites!

 Here are Jaron and Elijah setting up a little table with their play food.

 Here are Jaron and his friend Luke at the PreK Easter party.

 These brothers LOVE each other!!

 Cute craft from the party

 We went to the Arboretum to take some Easter photos.  I thought they turned out good, despite the fact that Jaron and Elijah refused to take off their Thor and Captain America masks.  :)

 Of course we had to dye some Easter eggs.

 Easter Morning!

 Just a cute picture of the boys painting in the playroom one day...

Spring & Spring Break

These boys love to dress up in costumes all the time!

This is a picture of Jaron with his "sand baby" from PreK.  They measured out (in sand) how much each of them weighed when they were born.  Then they made a baby out of the bag of sand.

Here's another project that Jaron made at school...sugar cubes, food coloring, and glue!  It's an iceberg I think.  :)

One day I found Jaron and Elijah hiding behind a chair reading books together.  So cute!

Here are a couple of pictures taken at Cary's birthday party this year!

We spent Spring Break in Houston this year.  Stayed at the Doubletree where we were the "guests of the day," getting free internet, free valet, and most importantly, free chocolate chip cookies!

Here are some pictures of the kids at the Houston Children's Museum.  We got to play there with our sweet cousins and best friends, Ava and Micah.  

In case you haven't noticed, Elijah wanted to wear his cape the entire time.  :)

My cousin Alan and his sweet wife Kyla (Ava and Micah's parents) treated us to dinner at their house on our first night in Houston.  At the time, Kyla was 7 months pregnant with their 3rd baby, and so it was extra special that they took the time to host us!  Ya'll are so sweet and we miss ya'll a lot!!  Here are Elijah and Micah at the kids' table!

Ava and Jaron- they have always been best buddies and they always pick up where they left off...

All the kids!

Spending time at the Houston Rodeo!

Little Micah actually won this!

While we were there, we celebrated Ava's 5th birthday a little early with some cupcakes!

Our boys.  We love them so much!

We visited NASA one day, and it was a big event and a lot of fun!

The Doubletree had a pool, but it was SO cold!  The boys actually got in, and I have to say that little Elijah spent the most time in it!  Brave boy!

The last day we drove to the beach in Galveston.  We found a spot on the beach where someone else had built a huge sandcastle that the boys could actually climb in and out of.  They had so much fun- we spent all morning there just digging in the sand.  It was the perfect temperature, and a great way to spend our last day of the trip.
