What a Beautiful Day!!

Wow! What a gorgeous day we had today! We surprised the kids with a picnic at the park for lunch. They were so excited! They had so much fun playing. We decided to grill out for supper, so we sat outside for supper, also. Kyle said, "Wow, Mommy, today must be a really special day because we had two picnics today." I'm so excited for more days like today! Kyle & Hannah starting their race down the slide


Hannah followed Kyle all around the playground doing everything he did

Getting ready to head back home after a fun time at the park

Friday Night Fun

Ben was out washing the vehicles this evening, so I went outside to see how they were all doing. I found Kyle & Hannah each washing their own vehicles, also. How cute!

Later Kyle was so proud of the "cup castle" that he made. He asked me to take a picture of it for him.

Coloring Easter Eggs

When we got home from our Easter gathering we got everything ready for dying Easter eggs. I had gotten the eggs hard boiled the day before, so we didn't have too much prep.


Kyle got creative and decided to dye an egg half & half. He used yellow and orange and he said it looked just like a sunset.

Our finished dozen.......which would soon be long gone!

More Easter Pics

We went to Ben's Mom & Dad's house for lunch on Easter. Matt & Rich barbecued chicken & pork chops. Everything was delicious. We also had an egg hunt & the kids got Easter goodies from Mamaw & Papa Broeker.








Hannah wasn't too sure about the sour candy she found in one of the Easter eggs

Hannah got 2 pair of pajamas, a coloring book & crayons. As you can see, Hannah has on her new princess dress the Easter Bunny brought her.


Kyle also got new pajamas (which he's wearing in this picture, a coloring book & crayons. Kyle was excited to see his pajamas were Transformer pajamas.

Easter Morning

The Easter bunny left lots of treats for Kyle & Hannah. They were so excited to see all the goodies in their baskets!
Hannah was requesting a new Princess dress from the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny did manage to find this pink cheerleader outfit that is shiny & sparkly just like a Princess dress.

After a couple of pictures we headed to Mass. Hannah felt like a true princess in her Easter dress. All during Mass she kept twirling and trying to slow dance with her Bubby during the songs.

The Start of My Easter Pics

Saturday night we went to Ben's Aunt & Uncle's house for dinner. We had Mexican food for supper and it was SOOOO delicious. I, of course, could eat Mexican food every night! Hannah LOVED all the treats she got from her Great Aunt Doris for Easter

As you can see, so did Aryn!

Davis & Kyle had so much fun wrestling and playing around. Kyle was so sad when it was time for us to leave. I believe he wanted to stay and hang out with Davis some more. It's hard to believe that Davis is wrestling and playing with my own kids now because I remember holding and playing with Davis when he was just a baby. I'm constantly reminded how fast the days go by!

Hannah got in on all of the action with the boys, too.

Davis & Kyle

Hannah's First Dentist Appointment

Today Hannah & Kyle both had dentist appointments. This was Hannah's first appointment. She did so well. Because it was her first appointment I was allowed to be in the room with her. It was just an appointment to get her acquainted with the office, the dentist, etc. She was such a big girl, though. The dentist said she could stay sitting on my lap while he looked at her teeth; however, she wanted to sit in the big dentist chair. She let him brush her teeth, look at her bite and count her teeth. The bad news for us is the dentist said he can pretty much guarantee that Hannah will be needing orthodontic work because her mouth is so small and there's not much room for her teeth to grow in, in fact, her baby teeth are pretty crowded, so when her permanent teeth begin to come in they will be really crowded.

Kyle had x-rays for the first time today. It was really cool to see his permanent teeth already formed. His 6-year molars should be in in about 6 months. I could even see where his 12 year molars are starting to form. It was pretty fascinating for me to see. It's also highly likely that Kyle's teeth are going to be crowded unless his jaw widens quite a bit. We could see on the x-ray how his permanent teeth are coming in crowded and crooked, so orthodontic treatment is possible with Kyle too.

The good new is NO cavities and brushing is going great!

Quote from Ben, "Donations are being accepted for the orthodontic funds."

Gatti Town

On Monday we went to Gatti Town to continue celebrating Kyle's birthday. Papa Rich was out of town for Kyle's birthday party, so Papa Rich & Mamaw Joanie joined us there. This is where the picture came from earlier where Hannah had such a look of excitement on her face. She was actually playing Deal or No Deal when I snapped that picture. By her excitement you would have thought it was the real thing!

Kyle loved the bowling they have there. He was pretty good at it. I believe it's time to take him to the real bowling alley now.



Here's Kyle playing Deal or No Deal. It was just like the t.v. show. It was actually a pretty cool game. I enjoyed playing it, also.

Everyone in on Deal or No Deal

Doesn't she look so serious here as she is picking her cases?

She got SO EXCITED when the cases she picked were good ones. I just wonder what would have happened if we had actually picked the 100 ticket case??
