Let's Go Fly a Kite

Caden got a really cool gift from Grammie this weekend...

Here he is explaining what it is and what he is going to do with it.


Carter also enjoyed being outside while we were flying the kite.

Q is for

Quite Exhausting!This is how Carter felt after an afternoon at the zoo! He didn't even make it halfway! Poor guy was pooped! Otherwise he did great!

P is for

Pachyderms!


No I am not making this word up! This was Caden's favorite part of the zoo, well depending on when you ask him! He loved the elephants, rhinos, and hippo! They are one of the first attractions you can get to at the OKC zoo, and the kids loved them!
The hippo waddled around quite a bit while we were watching her! She even waddled over and got in the water! She was pretty cute!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter from our family to yours!

Today was a wonderful day as we celebrated the day our Lord conquered death and rose from the grave! We had a wonderful time at church and the kids enjoyed their Easter baskets from the grandparents! We decided not to hunt eggs this year, Cory isn't really into it anyway, and I was far to tired to plan anything...maybe next year!

Cory is also not into taking pictures on Easter Sunday, so since we were alone, just the 4 of us...this is all you get, sorry! The boys did look quite handsome and quite grown up if I do say so myself!

Just remember the reason for the day...a few words from a song we sang this morning...

My Lord has conquered the grave, My Redeemer Lives!

O is for...

Oh My Goodness!

This was the cry heard from Caden, at the top of his lungs no less, at McDonald's on Friday. We were sitting there with a few other friends and their children, and several strangers. He continues to yell...Carter got in this slide without hitting his head, Oh My Goodness! He kept repeating that part over and over. It was somewhat embarrassing but I am sure it is not the worst thing that will come out of his mouth, right!

N is for...

No New News

Like that alliteration!?! We are very boring here at our house. We have been hanging out and resting. Caden was out of school on Friday so we spent most of the day tearing up the house and fighting. Not me, but the two boys. You might as well get me a referee shirt and a whistle because that is all I do now. Carter can almost hold his own, he head butted and bit Caden a couple of times on Friday. It is funny to see how irritated Caden gets when Carter is mean yet Caden is absolutely tortuous to Carter quite often! Oh well, such is life! One of these days we are going to let them just go at it, but Carter has to get a little tougher first!

M is for...

Yep, McDonald's. Sad I know, but this is what I came up with for today. We are there weekly so Caden can get his meal at least once a week that he will eat in its entirety! To justify myself he does eat apples instead of fries, and drinks milk...so not all bad, right :)

Also to prove how crazy our obession is with this establishment...a few weeks ago, our sunday school class had a social and we played a newlywed type game. One of the questions each spouse had to answer was what is your spouse's favorite food. Well Cory answered that my favorite food was McDonald's combo #2. $10 to the person who comments with the correct identification of this combo...

L is for...

Laughter!

There is tons of it going on here daily! These two boys and their dad crack me up constantly! Here is just a glimpse of how they made me laugh yesterday!
