Easter Fun

Easter time has been wonderful. Its so warm and nice outside, the boys get to play outdoors, and it seems like cabin fever goes away. Yesterday we went to Jay and Staceys house for our family easter party. We have a fish pond for the kids (my parents pick out presents for all the grandkids) as well as the adults (where we have to literally fish for our presents, and fight for the best ones.) It was really fun, and it was good to see everyone, since some people we hadn't seen since before Christmas. I had to work both before and after the party, but I was able to be there for the bulk of it. We took some pictures of the festivities, and thought ya'll might enjoy them.

This is Owen and Tyson getting their Easter eggs ready. We let them color them with crayons, and Tiffany and I dyed them later. It saved a lot of mess.
All of the boys hanging out at Jay and Staceys. It was a lot of fun, even if you can't tell from their faces.

This is Owen at the fish pond . He got so excited every time he saw a bag come over the side.
Tyson reeling in his big bag of clothes and toys. They really made out like bandits. Here they are easter afternoon, hunting for eggs. They just love being outside
We had filled some plastic eggs with M&Ms, which seemed to be the biggest hit for them.
Tysons face cracks me up. He just looks so confused.
It has been fun seeing them run around after being couped up all winter. It also helps that they sleep better at night when they run around all day (hallelujah!)We hope to be taking them outside a lot more, and hopefully that means we may have more pictures.

Updates and Playtime

So since we haven't done any updates in a while, we decided to post a few older pictures and give an update on our situation. The boys are doing very well, although they have had a little bit of a cold and some runny noses. Since its been warm outside we have gone outside a lot more, taking walks, playing in the front yard, etc... They love it all, and its taken off some of the cabin fever we all got over the winter. These first pictures are our attempts at killing cabin fever when there was still a lot of snow on the ground. We put blankets over the card table and let the boys at it. This is what happened:

Tyson loved the little house. You can kind of tell by his face, just a bit.
I'm not sure how to describe Owens face here, but it cracks me up.
Owen sure loved being in the fort. What a smile!!
Tyson being cute while running around. He had a silly grin.
Tiffany is doing pretty well with this pregnancy. She has only thrown up a few times, mostly because of a cough she had along with morning sickness. She is more tired this pregnancy, probably from caring for twin two year old boys! I've been able to be home a little bit more this semester, which is nice. Having the laptop has also allowed me to do lots of homework at home, rather than spend hours at the school. We recently realized that we are 101 days into the pregnacy, which leaves 179 more days to go. It really goes by so quickly. Thanks so much everyone for all your support and help along the way. It really does mean a lot to us.
