Fun with Friends!

Our good friends sold some of our stuff in their garage sale so to thank them we had them over for a BBQ. It was chilly and wet outside so we ended up staying inside for the evening but had lots of fun! The boys were all over the house laughing, running and giggling! Hunter and Dom had a blast in his room as well as in Trypp's room. Evan was glued to his Daddy for most of it but warmed up later in the evening. Dom shocked up all and warmed up pretty fast and was soon all over the house with Hunter and WITHOUT his Daddy! Go Dom!!! Again, Hunter has been asking for the Kryk's to come back for some more playtime. We certainly are blessed with wonderful friends!

Fun with Gage!

Hunter has really enjoyed playing with Gage the last few days. We were out for our morning walk the other day and stopped by his house and ended up playing for over an hour! The boys played great - all three of them! Hunter spent the rest of the day asking about Gage. So, the next day we met up at the park and the boys had more fun! I think Hunter has made a pretty good friend. Life is good!!!

Just Like Hunter.

Evan has started doing just about everything that Hunter does. Really cute! I brought two chairs up from the basement that they never used with the intention of selling them in a garage sale. Well, as soon as the chairs got upstairs the boys began to use them and they do everyday now. Go figure. Hunter was relaxing in his chair watching Sponge Bob and Evan pulled his chair up next to him and sat down to watch Sponge Bob too. Evan already looks up to Hunter. Let's just hope that Hunter continues to be a good role model!

Planting Sunflowers!

We decided yesterday was the perfect day to plant the seeds that will hopefully grow into sunflowers! Yes, it was rainy but we still had fun! Hunter picked out the spots to plant the seeds and Evan helped water them. I love gardening and it is even better with the help of my two boys! Fingers crossed that the sunflowers grow big and beautiful!

Whispering Pines

Whispering Pines visited out local petting farm and we headed out to see them yesterday. Hunter was thrilled to visit them again and he actually fed the goats this year! Evan even had fun, no tears! Last year Evan was terrified of the roosters at the farm but not this year. He was full of giggles and smiles and would not stand still for a moment! Huge relief!!! This means we can venture back to the petting farm many more times this year!!! Hunter was in all his glory with all the new and different animals! He loved the goats and the monkey! The reptiles were a huge hit too! I am so happy that they had a wonderful time!

Mother's Day

Hunter made me a beautiful gift that I will always treasure. It was special just for Mother's Day and it was perfect! I treasure all the things he makes for me but since this was his first Mother's Day while in school this gift holds a special spot. He did pick out two balloons to add to the gift Christian got me. My boys sure do know how to spoil me and I am so lucky to have them!

Grandma Grace

Our Grandma Grace left this world 8 years ago today and it still feels like it was just yesterday. I would have loved for her to have met our boys. I am thankful that she got to meet Christian and she told me that he was the one for me. She was 100% right! She was such a kind and loving soul. I can only hope that she is looking down on us and keeping us safe. She is greatly missed. But, I know she is at peace and is right where she needs to be - in heaven. Afterall, that is where angels live.

Remembering...

It was one year ago today that we lost our Grand. We miss her each and everyday. She was a sweet and loving soul. We know she is resting peacefully. We love you, Grand.

Peek-A-Boo!


So, my boys really enjoy playing with the blinds in our bedroom. Not sure why but it seems to be lots of fun for them. They will giggle and play for the longest time. It really is cute to watch. However, I know the day is coming when they rip them down and totally destroy them. Perhaps I need to put an end to their playtime but it is just too sweet to watch.

New Shoes!



MeeMaw just got Hunter a new pair of shoes and they light up and he is thrilled! He is also in a size 12 now!!! This kid just keeps growing!!! Pretty soon he is going to be taller than me. Yes, I know that is not hard since I am only 5' 4" but still he is only 4.

Say Cheese!



My two little hams!

Fun in the Fridge!


Evan LOVES to play in the fridge and freezer. He opens the doors and climbs on in and has a blast. I try not to get frustrated since it is keeping him busy and allowing me to get the dishes done. A mom has got to do what a mom has got to do!

The Sad Pool.

Our pool is very sad looking right now. It is in the process of getting a new liner put in. Cannot wait for it to be finished and filled with water and ready for swimming!!! Hoping to have it done in time for Evan's big party in June. Fingers crossed!

Fun in MeeMaw's Backyard!


After our Easter morning at home we headed over to my parent's house to celebrate with them. The boys had a great time playing in their backyard, as always. Their yard is huge and they always have a great time running around with the dog, playing in the sandbox and with all the other toys. Fun times!!!

Easter Pics





I know I am way behind. But, here are some Easter pics from our fun filled day!
