This is what the boys do while I pack, clean, sort for a garage sale, and just walk around wondering what to do next :)

Nice clean room :) yah right! ha ha! the honesty of a random blog picture!!!

I was going CRAZY with out a vacuume and my home teacher's son fixed it...this was what was blocking it-

I know I threaten to vacuume up their toys ALL THE TIME if they can't pick them up fast enough, but never thought it was possible!

He's in denial- one of the hardest jobs of being the oldest child.... is handing down favorite things.

Max is in plain denial this shirt is too small. It was put away for a long time now that he spotted it in Spencer's drawer he is determined to make that shirt fit :) some hand-me-downs are tougher than others.

Easter Sunday...

CRANKY, cranky Spencer has to have his cereal first thing in the morning and he was NOT about to pick up one egg before he ate his cereal. When he finished he was sure ready to collect his candy. Max was ready from the second he woke up! He came running in my room yelling, "mom! mom! come look you will never believe this!" He was SO excited the Easter Bunny came!

The big hype for the boys this year...was all about the chocolate bunny... they watched Veggie Tales over and over singing the bunny song... yes, I heard it so much I will just start singing it while even doing the dishes :) and I did buy it on itunes for the boys!this messy face is 30 minutes before church started! We did make it on time he was all clean except for his hands :) oops!Spencer went right for his bunny as soon as we got back from church.... I told the boys to change clothes fast before candy, well I guess Spence didn't hear?! This is what is left of the poor chocolate bunnies at 6:30 pm Sunday. I full on believe that it is best to let the kids have thier hay day and fill them with sugar so it is all gone within a day or two why torture your self for a month long sugar high....get it over with in just a few days :) Max's bunny is the one with just the feet- Spencers is all eaten weird he had to eat one part at a time...first the ears, then the bow tie, then his chin... you can see the hole for the tail...This is our Easter Dinner with the boys totally loaded with sugar and flying high on thier sugar rush...yes spencer is in swimming goggles! oh boys...

Easter fun!

Thursday Night we went to the Temple Visitor Center to watch the Easter Pageant. We went at 4 in the afternoon and we had a picnic and laid out blankets and hung out... This is the stage...The cast walks around before and after the show and it is so neat to be close and talk to the actors...Max liked the soldiers-Spencer was too scared to go up to any of the actors. When they left he would say they had shinny hats :)One of the kid actors was taking this sheep around and the animal was dragging the kid all over :)Me and my boys!I had to include this one of stubborn Spencer below...the night before we went to get our picnic...lunchables for the boys and Spencer wanted to go right then 8 pm to the picnic and would not surrender his lunchable.... it got to the point to where he laid on it boycotting putting it in the fridge and get ready for bed. So I laughed took a picture then took care of business :) he is just like his dad! Saturday.... waiting for the Easter egg hunts. Spencer couldn't wait for the candy!

First we went to our friend Nanci's work party and had a good time.

GO MAX GO! He REALLY enjoyed every second of the hunt- even more so he enjoyed opening the eggs to find what he got.

Then we went to this local church Easter egg hunt that we go to every year it is such a fun party and the boys got lots of eggs! I am still in shock that we had such bad weather on Saturday! It is the first year we didn't get sunburns at the Easter egg hunts! Oh well the boys were troopers and nothing slowed them down!We had a full fun Easter Play Date will our friends, Kijuana and her kids, Nanci and her boys...we know how to party!the little guys had their egg hunt inside...max was outside at his egg hunt.Max and Devon felt like they triumphed the Easter egg field :) so cute!

Happy Easter Every one!

I can't believe it! This home in Rockwall, TX is only $107,000 !!!!!!

I love it! I think we will be looking at buying a home when we move! The price is so good in this beautiful town, the schools are GREAT! It is right by a lake, huge library small town feel with plenty to do.... I am in love! This is just one house I found there are so many others I emailed to Elbert saying I love it. I am still so sad to leave, but I am starting to get so so excited for Texas!

Easter Bunny!

my camera didn't take the best pictures :( they are kida fuzzy...

Spencer would not get off the Easter Bunnies lap :) so I told him give him a hug so we can go... Playing outside the Easter Bunny fence. Spencer and his friend.We went for our preschool field trip and here is a group shot- Andrew was the only one that absolutly did not like the bunny- I almost thought that is how they all would react....well except for max of course :)

Then we went to go play in the play area at the mall... it was a lot of fun!

Easter Eggs before Daddy left...

The night before Elbert left we had an Easter party and had a GREAT time! We had a special dinner, made an Easter count down, colored eggs, read the easter story and then put the boys in the tub! Then after that we had a movie party! It was a night full of fun!

Spencer spent the entire time dying one egg and then when he was done dying it he started to peal it open and eat it. notice spencers eggs in the picture below are all white while max colored his in record time.

So Spencer needed a little help from max to get all of his colored... at the end of coloring eggs Elbert read the easter story... spencer then decided to color one more egg...
