April 2017 Randomness

One day at soccer, it was pretty chilly and Westyn wore his long underwear under his soccer clothes. Then when he came home, he just hung out in the long underwear. I told him to go put on clothes for dinner. He went upstairs and put shorts on. We totally went out to dinner with him looking like that.


Working hard at preschool.


The Cub Scouts helped serve dessert at one of the fish fries.


Superheroes.


Justin took the boys on a bike ride to a field near the house to practice some soccer.


Picking up Aggie


Westyn mastered riding his bike with no training wheels!


Preschool field trip to the lake. They had a snack followed by a scavenger hunt.


For Garytt's birthday, we asked his friends to bring donations for the city mission instead of gifts for him. He dropped off his haul in April. He had a lot of stuff from diapers to pillows thanks to his very generous friends.


The boys received and Easter package from Mimi full of lots of goodies.


Garytt got to invite a friend out after school one day. I took the boys to Chuck E. Cheese. We had the place almost to ourselves since it was an early out day for Cathedral but not for all the public schools.


Reading.


A boy and his dog.


Garytt was selected as one of four students to read a petition at Sunday mass for the parish appreciation mass. We are so proud of him and how well he did speaking in front of all those people!

 

After the mass, it was time to head over to the school carnival.


Garytt won a cake in the cake walk and chose a cake with green frosting...shocking. We had pizza and cake for dinner...yum!

2017 Branson Trip - Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny had no trouble finding us at our condo. He left lots of goodies for the boys.


Here come the boys to check out their stash.


It was pretty rainy/stormy overnight and Easter morning. So, the Bunny had to hide the eggs inside the condo instead of outside.


Grandma had a big surprise for the boys as well. She made them Star Wars quilts so we can redecorate their room from Cat in the Hat to Star Wars! Garytt got Darth Vader and Westyn got a Storm Trooper.


After a little bit, it was time to get ready for Easter mass. We tried to get a family photo before mass but it was raining outside, so we had to do it on the porch area. Westyn was in no mood for a picture.


Garytt tried to encourage Westyn to smile...which just made him more mad.


He didn't even get into doing the silly photo, which the boys usually love.


We took a few more photos after mass.


Then it was back to the condo to play with some of their new toys.


We had some time to head to the pool and test out their new goggles.


It was a wonderful Easter break but it was time to head back home.
