Ok, its up, please no more complaining.

Alright, so this has been sitting here for a while, waiting to get written, and with family bugging us I'm finally getting around to it. Sure, I'm a few months behind, but at least we are getting something out. We should update with more stories and pictures in a little while.

These are our eggs that the boys painted for easter. Tiffany and I helped with a few of them, but they did a really good job.
This is them enjoying themselves. We went shirtless to avoid the mess, but they kept it all on the paper. Good Job!
This year we went to Willard for the annual Spring party (it used to be called the Easter party, but because everyone seems to forget about the real meaning of Easter at these parties, we call it the Spring party.) This was Gavins first time to go easter egg hunting. He did pretty well, we had to try and convince him that he could grab more than 1 thing. he just seemed content to have very little, as long as he had something.
Here he is showing off his collection. He was very happy.
Tyson and Owen had a lot of fun at the party. Here they are scouring for candy. They tried to show Gavin how to do it, but they were more concerned with their own haul.


Gavin and uncle Troy. Gavin is usually pretty good about being held by other people. As long as he is the center of attention, he is happy.
Tyson Owen and Kade loved the rabbit that Lyndi and Zach brought. Here the rabbit looks a little squished, but he was pretty calm. Im surprised the boys wanted to touch the rabbit. They are usually a little stand-off-ish.
That rabbit did have some really red eyes, kind of creepy to be honest.
Here Gavin is doing the fish pond. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but once he got some presents, he really enjoyed it.
Owen trying to make his big catch. He did well for himself.
And here is Tyson. I think Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed this as much as the kids.
Easter Morning. The boys easter baskets are all ready for them.
Owen is always so giddy when something special like this happens. Its cute to see how excited he gets. Luckily he quite fidgeting so I could get a clean shot.
Gavin really liked seeing his basket. He was more interested in the toys than he was in the candy. He will learn some day.
Tyson is usually pretty tired in the mornings. We have to make sure to talk to him the night before about what will happen in the morning, so he doesn't get so grumpy. He was pretty happy to get candy in the morning, so it was an easier adjustment.

Something for everyone to do. Good times.


We also woke up to some unseasonably cold weather. We got about an inch or 2 of snow. Pretty surprising, but it was a good excuse to stay in the house.

Gavin didn't seem to trust the basket with his eggs, so he just made small piles whenever he found his eggs.

Tyson and Owen really got into it. They checked everywhere, and it didn't take them too long.

Everyone wanted to show off their toys and goodies. Gavin wasn't sure if daddy would take his toys, so he kind of kept them hid.
Tyson has such a cute forced smile.
Im not sure if Owen was happy with me taking his picture or if he just wanted to be left alone.
It was a fun day, and we all had a really good time. Its fun to see how they grow up and how much different it is for them from year to year.oh and we cut all of there hair after this, they all had ridiculously long hair.

playing at the park

Here are just a few pictures from when kaleb, trish and nick were here and we went to the school next door. the boys always have so much fun when they have cousins around.
