Happy Easter!

On Saturday we went to Ma and Pa's house for an Easter visit.  It was great to see Pa up and about after his surgery.  Ma planned a fun scavenger hunt for the boys with Easter Eggs.  We had a nice lunch from Carlos O'Kelly's, played lots of games, and even got outside for a bit.  We're so thankful for Ma and Pa and for them making Easter (and every time we see them) so special. 

Easter Eggs

This morning we went to Montgomery Mall for an Easter Family Fun Day.  We met up with some people at MOPS and the boys played in the play area with friends.  We also stood in a long line (which the boys did very well in) and received an Easter craft and Easter Goody Bags with eggs, stickers, and candy.  They each got to spin the wheel for Auntie Anne's pretzels and Kyle won a 99 cent pretzel sticks and Max won a free pretzel.  So we went and redeemed our prizes for lunch!

When we got home the boys were in Easter mode so we decided to dye Easter Eggs.  Max chose a regular kit and Kyle chose a tie dye kit.  Here are some pictures of their work!

Spring Break

This week is Spring Break.  On Monday it snowed.  Unfortunately the weather doesn't allow for much outdoor playground time as I was hoping so we had to find other ways to entertain ourselves.  Two of the highlights of yesterday were making a countdown to Disney World chart and building card houses. 

Happy 8th Birthday Kyle!

Yesterday was Kyle's 8th birthday!  We gave him his present, a Pokemon Elite Trainer Box, a couple days early so he could use it to get ready for the state tournament today.  He loved it!  On the actual day Max and I brought McDonald's and joined him for lunch at school.  I'm not sure who was more excited we were there . . . Kyle, Max, or his friends!  Then we had his party that evening at the Discovery Sports Center with all his friends.  They played dodgeball, had relay races, and ate pizza and cake.  It was a fun time and wore everyone out!  Then we came home and opened presents.  He got lots of pokemon plus some gift cards and a few other fun toys . . . his friends sure do know him well! 

Kyle's family birthday celebration

We celebrated Kyle's 8th birthday a little early with Ma, Pa, and Uncle Mike on Saturday.  There were presents, lunch at Red Robin (Kyle's choice),  playing games, and building legos.  It was a fun day and we were happy to have them here to celebrate with us!
