Grandma Judy's Easter package

If you know my mom, you know she loves PEZ! ...and now my boys do too! Grandma Judy sends Jacob and Ethan the cutest ( I mean coolest) PEZ dispensers, and a ton of PEZ candy. PEZ is now Ethan's favorite candy! For Easter Grandma Judy sent the boys candy, toys, and of course PEZ...now the fight is on for who gets the puppy PEZ and who gets the lion!

Jacob upset because Ethan took his Lion PEZ dispenser, leaving him with "the baby one"

"who me?"

"Ethan, look how cool this one is....PLEASE TRADE ME!"

Grandma and her boys

Connor and Ethan have so much fun at Grandma's house! She has so many toys and activities that they are never bored. Today Grandma had the boys color for the first time, and sit on the potty for the first time...

Ethan's first coloring page, Picasso in the making

Connor coloring in between eating the crayons

"Mommy, you should try this!"

Peek-a-boo grandma!

Ethan got a sticker for sitting on the potty - Connor wanted it and Ethan looked at him like.."Hey! Do you know what I had to do to get this thing!!?"

Ethan trying to zip his sweater

"Here Ethan, let me show you how to do this..."

" Thanks Grandma!"

"Here Papa, I want you to have this..."

Boys...need I say more?

I got Ethan a shopping cart to go with all his play food that he has. I honestly never thought that the boys would get in it and push each other around, and eventually play shopping cart wars...lesson learned.

The Best Toy...EVER

Aunt Ashlin got Ethan and Connor a Ball Pit for Christmas! They Love it!! Thanks Aunt Ashey!

After these pictures were taken Uncle Matt thought it would be funny to jump in...needless to say one side is broken and is held in place with duct tape. Sorry Matt, I laughed so hard it hurt when I heard this story : )

Christmas Eve at Nan and Eugene's 2009

Every year on Christmas Eve we go to Nan and Eugene's. When Tom and Carol first moved to Indiana they had no family, so Nan and Eugene (Tom and Carol's neighbors at the time) became like family to them. When Brandon, Ashlin, and Jerron were born Nan and Eugene "adopted" them as their own grand kids and they have all kept in contact since. We always have such a great time catching up and sharing some laughs.

Special Gift from Aunt Nancy

Ethan opened his first Christmas gift this year. He got a very cute bath robe from Aunt Nancy. Ethan was so excited to open it!

Ethan started to throw a fit when I put the bath robe on, so Jacob thought he would lighten the mood by being a goof ball

Starbucks Santa

Starbucks had a Santa on location this year. Santa took toy requests and handed out oatmeal raisin cookies to all the good boys and girls. Jacob said on the way out "Where'd they find that guy, he makes a good Santa!" Thanks grandma Judy for the Starbucks gift card!

Easter 2010

Easter was so much fun this year! The boys got Easter buckets instead of Easter baskets, but I think it's whats inside that matters most!

Ethan got Hot Wheels cars, bouncy balls, and tub toys

Jacob got candy, a baseball, cars, and silly string

The boys eating their candy and going through all their goodies

Bailey and Ethan

Ethan and Bailey (our cat) are best of friends. I have never seen a cat that goes completely limp when kids are around, but Bailey is a good sport. Ethan loves to follow Bailey around the apartment. Curiosity definitely gets the best of both of them!
