Easter 2013

Over Spring Break in VA we had Easter! It was fun to be back with my family to color eggs together, and just have fun. Here are the boys coloring eggs. 

This is Spencer's I-don't-want-to-smile-but-my-mom-said-I-have-to-so-I'll-do-it-like-this smile.

Easter morning Spencer always has to go and find his basket that the Easter Bunny has hidden for him...wonder where it will be this year???

Preston had a happy morning watching Spencer go everywhere looking.

He even almost snuck a black jelly bean!!

Finally found it!!!!

Here's my basket Mom! (with my weird smile again)

Excited about his Rise of the Guardians movie he got. Also, notice the shirt that he absolutely loves!!! He would want me to point out the cool Zombie shirt.

The rest of the day was relaxing, going to church, and then eating candy. 

Playing Baseball

There are no actual pictures of us playing baseball, but we did and Preston did watch. So this batch of pictures is mostly of Preston...of course.

Grandpa and Preston (clapping).

Watching some good baseball.

Something was funny.

Yay! Go team!

So happy...

...but what is this on the side of my head?

My nephew being silly. 

Best Friends and Kids

I was able to see two of my best friends while home in VA. One came from out of state to visit some family, and another lives there. So we HAD to get together with all of our kids to catch up!

Our kids, man they are CUTE!

Us with the kids. Emily has four kids and Bon has one, and then I had my two boys there. It was great to be able to eat breakfast together, have all the kids play together, and talk and talk and talk. I wish we could have had all day to talk, because I'm pretty positive we would have. 

The Many Faces of Preston

While on Spring Break, Preston was learning how to sit up, and scoot backwards under Grandma's couch. 

But he still thought it was fun.

Once we got him out from under the couch we had him sitting up against the couch, he kinda liked the new view. 

heehee, this face to me is awesome! 

My sweet boy.  

Spring Break- Taking a Ride

For Spring Break this year we went down to my parents house. Tyler had to work still, so just Spencer, Preston and I went, we had lots of fun even though it was cold. My dad just got this new riding lawnmower, so he had Spencer ride on it with him, then asked if Spencer wanted to drive it himself. Well, of course he would! 

Spencer started driving, and it made me a little frightened of when he will really drive, he couldn't keep his eyes where he was going because he kept looking at me to see what I was doing. He loved being on the lawnmower though.

Preston came out to watch and then decided he wanted to ride too!

So Grandpa took him on a ride, and covered him up from getting too cold. 

I think he liked it!

Then Spencer thought him and Grandpa should throw the ball back and forth, so they did. 

Throwing it as hard as he can.

Cuteness

My boys.

Who can help but take a picture of THIS cuteness?!!? Also, look at him almost doing the splits! That's all because of the harness he was in for 6 weeks, and he still has that flexibility.

Hi there cute boy!

Oh, how I love those big eyes!

Pinewood Derby Time

Back in March, Spencer was able to participate in his Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby race! He was really excited to be able to make his car and paint it and then race it. We arrived to get everything registered. His is the one in the number one slot. 

Preston was excited to see the racing too!

Before the races, Spencer was really excited to see how well his car would do.

Well, he came in last place after his three races, and in the second one his wheel popped off!! Even though he came in last place he had such a great attitude about it. He just said, oh well, next year I'll make it better. I was so proud of him, because there were other kids there crying their eyes out because they didn't come in first place. Spencer just enjoyed the whole experience. He loved the way his car looked and I was proud of him for being so great!
