Happy Birthday, Lily and Lucas!

Last Saturday we went to Lily and Lucas's birthday party. Lily turned 4 and Lucas turned 2 this week. The party was awesome! They had it in their church gym and it was fantastic! Tons of room, Susan did an awesome job at all sorts of activities and fun things - the boys loved it! The theme was bugs (like ladybugs and caterpillars). There was a 'bug toss' game, digging for bugs in the dirt, Ele-fun (catching butterflies), making your own caterpillars, sticker pictures and lots of yummy food! Thanks for letting us help celebrate your birthdays at such a cool birthday party!

A Soccer Machine!

Another Saturday, another soccer game. Ben is really enjoying soccer and I just signed him up for Spring outdoor soccer that includes 1 practice and 1 game per week. This game, Ben scored 3 goals and ran hard. Should be interesting to see what happens with outdoor soccer in a few weeks. 

The closest Nick got to the playing this week. Just not his thing.

The Helicopter - A Daddy Toy

Adam was gifted a remote control helicopter by the neighbors for the one snow storm he was actually around for, for snow blowing their driveway and helping them out. It was a very, very nice gift and probably a bit much, but they insisted that we would get more use and fun out it than their son. So this helicopter has been sitting in the closet for 3 months, which has led to almost daily questions of when can we fly the helicopter. It was finally nice out last Friday, so Adam got it out. And then proceeded to crash it a few times. But it's pretty sturdy and with stood the 'breaking in'. The boys LOVE it! And of course daddy thinks its pretty fun too. I had fun taking pictures of it ;)

No Such Thing As Personal Space Between Brothers

They are like little bunnies all huddled up in a whole. It's not like there isn't a whole big couch and another chair that they could spread out on, but hey, they weren't fitting, and it was pretty cute. 

Going On An Egg Hunt

Cameryn and Avery came over for dinner last Sunday. The kids decorated foam Easter eggs and decided that after dinner, we would have an egg hunt. But in this case, the kids would hide the eggs and the parents had to find them. Their 'hiding' spots are pretty entertaining. 

Teamwork

Must. Use. Teamwork. To. Move. Sand. 

Time to Do Some Serious Digging!

Nick got a digger crane for his birthday and now that the sandbox has defrosted, we put it together. The boys were super excited to use it. Ben, probably a little bit more. They had a good time trying to figure out how to make it work and moving sand around. 

Put some muscle into it!

One, two, third, PULL!

You know they are working hard when the tongue is sticking out.

Meh, I guess he can do it by himself. Not bad, not bad

A Little More Soccer

A little more soccer. Nick actually got out on the field this time. He warmed up a bit, but he wouldn't play. Guess it's not his thing. Ben, on the other hand, has been improving with each game.
