Easter Mahem

The boys are always spoiled on holidays. They had 4 Easter egg hunts and my thighs are definitely feeling the effects of the candy. I love to have them dressed up and for the most part they like to get look nice like Dad (Meaning white shirt and tie, no more sweater vests.) I just don;t like it cause it makes them look so grown up even if they are so handsome!! After the third hunt....

Cole's buckets wasn't big enough so he switched over to a bag!

Tate checking out the new church clothes.

Chub is obsessed with green, he would have to check the inside of the eggs to make sure they had green candy in them before he would put them in his pale..

Spring Break!!

For Spring break we took the family down to sunny St. George!! At least we were hoping it would be...but not so much! It didn't bother the kids, we heated the pool to like 95* so it didn't really matter what the weather was the kids were swimming. Plus they got to have a sleepover with there cousins every night and what kid doesn't love that. My brother in law celebrated his birthday down there and I was lucky enough to have one of my young women on vacation too who came and took the kids for a night so we could have a night off on our vacation!!! On Saturday Jer and I got roped into doing a 10K with one of our good friends. It was wet and cold, but in the end it was a lot of fun. We finished with a time of 53:36, not to shabby. Jer could have finished faster but was sweet and stuck with me instead of the other Jer!! Sunday was the nicest day we had down there so we took our time getting home by stopping at the park and letting the kids play in the sun before we locked them in the car for the ride home!!! We had a blast and can't wait for summer to begin!! Of course I forgot my camera so I have no picutes except for this one that Robin took with her camera at the start line!!

Happy Birthday Cole

Cole Is 7!!! His birthday was March 30th but were just getting around to blogging about it! This was him after starting a new tradition of taking the first bite or cake with your face!!!(Thanks Jo)!!! The plunge....
Note to self....don't put Jer in charge of buying the gift especially when it involves a gun! The small pistol just wasn't going to hurt enough or what???

Cole is very opinionated about what he wears which is a good thing I guess. Except for when he trashes clothes like he does!!

His Birthday glove cake!

My baby is 7, hard to believe that I have a 7 year old. I love his energy (even thought there are days I would like to cage him because of it). He is so stubborn but has such a sweet heart as well. (The poor kid is more like his mother than his father....Sorry bud). Cole loves to be involved and in charge. He is such a big helper around the house and for the most part with his brothers. He is a natural athlete and is trying to love school....but tends to want to be running more than studying!! I love him so much and am so grateful that he is part of our family!!!

Its A Real Problem

If there is anything that says that it is indestructible I would like it to come to my house and be put to the test. My boys are so hard on everything clothes, shoes, furniture....each other. I am always in awe at how fast they can burn through things especially jeans. I took these pictures the beginning of march and some of the pants were ones that we bought at Christmas.....SERIOUSLY!!! Its tough on the budget but luckily I have a fabulous mother-in-law who mended all of my boys pants and made them look not so white trash!! Plus I found a little treasure...SHOPKO though kid guarantee!!! I'm going to put them out of business, I've already returned 5 pairs of pant all bought at Christmas. Well survive the clothing now and then get through trying to feed them as teenagers!! Love them though!! All pants from this year....sad!
