Easter Bunny

Goodies Galore - The Easter Bunny arrived at our house and the boys searched for their baskets.  They then picked up a bunch of eggs in the backyard.  GG and Grampa were in town and we went to a beautiful Easter Service followed by some breakfast.  Bunny cookies with milk that GG made were a big hit!

 

Cupig Shuffle



 

Favorite Dance - Zachary loves to dance the Cupig Shuffle.  He moves his shoulders from side to side which is so cute!  Go Zach Go!

 

 

Krispy Kreme

Donut Adventure - Uncle Robert sent the boys some Valentine's Day cards from Krispy Kreme.  When we arrived, the HOT LIGHT was on and donuts were being made.  It was so much fun and not only did the boys pick out a sprinkle covered donuts but they also got some warm ones off the production line.  What a YUMMY treat!!

 

 

 

   

 

Card Sharks

Game of Cards - The boys and I were playing some Uno while Aaron cooked dinner.  They got the funny idea to wear their sunglasses.  Little did I know we had some card sharks in our house!  It was a fun game of cards!

Blizzard 2013 - Part II

Storm Q - We finally made it out sledding today.  The boys played on he deck a bit which has the most snow due to the wind blowing it over there and it piling up.  They made some snow angels and jumped around in the thick powder. 

Prior to sledding we helped a co-worker of Aaron's shovel off their driveway.  The kids were anxious to go sledding and tried on a make-shift hill...what the snowplow made.  Finally made it over to the park and they had a blast!  I don't know where they get their energy.  Reece must have run down the hill as much as he went down on a sled.

Braden's friend Chase was able to join us which was special.  The boys all had fun....even Zach who went down once with Aaron. 

Blizzard 2013 - Part I

Storm Q - It started off snowing slowly and then between 6am and 11am we got dumped on.  The snow is gorgeous and we had fun playing in it.  The neighbor boys were out too so we built several forts, jumped off of piles of snow and did some driveway sledding.  It was a lot of fun!!

Smart boy

Shoes - the boys each have a locker in our mud room and they know to take their coats and shoes off and put them away.  Well, even Zach knows this.  While in our kitchen I asked Zach to put his shoes away and he starts walking towards his locker...too cute.  I caught him in action putting his shoes away.  Will this still be the case when he is 13?

Happy Valentine's Day

Sweet Day - The boys got some special gifts for Valentine's Day.  Swords from GG and Grampa, Leapster games from Grandma and Papa and some sweet treats from everyone....even Krispy Kreme Valentine's from Uncle Robert!  We are still getting through the cookies and candy....hope it is gone before Easter!

KU Fans

Daddy and his Jayhawks - I needed an updated photo of Aaron and the boys in their KU gear.  Thought the pics turned out great!  While the boys look cute in Crimson and Blue, deep down I hope one goes to Clemson!  :-)

Early Steps

You can do it - Zachary has begun to take some steps.  So much fun to see him try to walk before falling to the ground.  We are enticing him with a car that he loves. 

 

 

Snow Plow

Snow Plow - Reece was a great helper this afternoon. He and Braden used their bull dozers to help Aaron shovel snow from the driveway. Pretty fun!

Sledding with snow

Let it Snow - We got some more snow...not a lot but enough for snow angels and some more sledding.  The boys loved getting on their snow gear so they could roll around in the snow.  Braden played so hard he was sweating (or maybe I had him dressed too warm!).

Hopefully we get more snow yet this year!!!

 

Snowman

Bucket snowman - The boys were out playing with Aaron and built this snowman with snow from the driveway. They used buckets and did a pretty good job. They were quite proud!!

Christmas with Uncle Brian

A fun day - Uncle Brian came over to celebrate Christmas with us.  He had to work Christmas day so we were unable to see him.  We had a fun day.  First we went sledding, then we watch a Christmas movie, followed by dinner and opening presents.  It was a lot of fun.  He can come over any time!!

Sledding

Snow drift - we arrived back to Lawrence from Ohio with very little snow.  There was a snow drift along our fence line so we attempted to go sledding.  It was fun for the boys and a lot of running for mom.  I would run down the hill pulling the boys.  Let's hope for more snow!!!

Christmas

Wilmes Family - we went over to see Papa and Grandma later Christmas day.  We had a nice meal together and opened up lots of presents.  It was a nice evening together.

Santa Claus

Visit from Santa - The boys were good as Santa made a stop at our house.  He brough lots of fun toys including a Leap Pad and Leapster, Games, Jake and the Neverland Pirates music CD, Scooby Doo movie, Transformer Rescue Bots and their Rescue Station plus some clothes.  It was a FUN morning!

Christmas Eve

Family Dinner - We enjoyed a ham and some side dishes this Christmas Eve.  The boys were very well behaved as we ate in the dinning room with some special holiday dishes.  It was a special evening.

Church and Cookies - We then went to Christmas Eve Mass followed by baking some cookies for Santa.  The boys were great helpers and the special ingredient this year were red and green M&M's.  Of course we did some taste testing and they were yummy!

 

Christmas Performance

Corpus Chrisit Christmas Performance - Preschooler's started the evening off with a few holiday songs.  Braden led his class and the entire school down the aisle and was very proud.  We had no idea...he did great!  It was a nice evening and way to start off the Holiday Season.
