Charlie's Birthday Wish List

Chuck informed me of the items he would like for Christmas, but I think the birthday is closer so I thought he would appreciate them sooner.1. "A Heavenly Father Book for his church. You know scriptures."
2. "A book I can take with me and read in the car." (p.s. he doesn't read yet.)
3. "That new Iron Man Leapster game." Even though we looked Online last night an no such game existed.
With these three items I think we can have a great birthday.

More Spring Break Fun

This is how Tom spent his time off--playing video games. I let them play the one card game that I mysteriously had on my phone and a few hours later I had 12 games downloaded on my phone. I looked at which ones they had downloaded and it was some of the games that I would like. Charlie told me that he picked it out especially for me. I don't know how he knew to fib like that.

"Mom,..."

...this is how David used to sit in my chair when he was a little boy." Said by Charles (4/9/10)
He always has something great coming out of his little mind.

Charlie's Haircut

Charlie's hair has been looking a little rough lately so we went one morning to get him a hair cut. He's been here before, but we didn't get any great pictures.He was making such funny faces so we had to take some pictures.
This is the same lady that cut his hair before. (Read more of that here.)
Here's how he looked after. It was money well spent.

Spring Break Adventures

For an adventure during Spring Break we decided to take the kids on the train.We had some errands to run in the city so we road the train into the city and went to the mall. Brian needed to get his phone replaced and I had some returns to make so we walked around the mall for a while and then got back on the train.
Charlie was so excited and loved looking out the window. We took the train all the way to the university to see where we will be watching football games in the future.
We didn't realize how far the train went. We took it from the mall all the way up to the university hospital. We loved to see all the fun people that got on and off of the train.
We even got all of them to pose for a picture on the train. The boys counted that we rode five trains that day and they loved every bit of it. After our trip up to the hill we came back down to the mall and ate lunch before we headed back home. We had such a fun day.

Easter Basket Surprise

Our Favorite Team shirts.
Tom picked University of Kentucky. (I think he wanted them to win the NCAA tournament this year.)
Charlie picked the Lakers. They've been wearing them every day since Easter. I love it when the Bunny picks a winner.

The Great Egg Dying of 2010

We couldn't wait to dye eggs this year. Charlie kept asking if he and Dad could do it while I was at work. We finally did it tonight.

We had a bunch of eggs to color, but some didn't make it through the boiling process.
We were lucky to have Uncle Spencer come and join us in the Easter fun.

Easter Egg Hunt

My aunt on my dad's side had an Easter egg hunt last weekend. She plans on for her side of the family, but this year she decided to invite all sides of the family. My sister and her family, my parents, and Brian and our boys went for the hunt. The kids decorated bags to collect their loot.
The eggs were hidden.
The boys searched high and low to find as many eggs as they could.
Charlie was a little disappointed with hunting and gave up soon after it began.
Tom on the other hand loved looking for as many eggs as he could.
They each got a fun bag with more candies and bubbles. They loved the bubbles. Some of the eggs that they found had hidden numbers in them. The numbers that we found got us some fantastic sidewalk chalk.
The boys couldn't wait to try them out at home. Here's their art work to show it.

Just Like Their Big Brothers

So, we tried out a new type of undies for the boys. I didn't think that they would like them as much as they did, but...
They LOVE that they look just like their big brothers!
