Hippity Hoppity Easter

We had a fairly low key Easter this year, which was good.  I only got pictures of the Easter egg hunt we did on Saturday because, besides Easter dinner on Sunday, we just hung out outside enjoying the 75 degree weather.  It was gorgeous.

Shiloh and Eli both enjoyed the Hunt.  This year, Shiloh was experienced and he remembered what was inside of the eggs, so he wanted to open them on the spot and eat and/or play with whatever was inside as he gathered the eggs.  We had to coax him to look for all of the eggs first.  On the other hand, Eli had no clue that there was anything in the eggs.  He was just having fun running and yelling out the color (although 50% of the time it wasn't the right color) of the egg he was finding.

Here is the best pic we could get of them opening up the eggs and finding the loot inside. (p.s. don't mind the awkward facial expression I am pulling, just notice the 2 adorable kiddos)  They were too excited to sit still for anymore pics.

Caught Up - Spring is Coming

Last Week we finally got some Real Rain and not Rain/Snow. In fact, we got over 7 inches of rain in 3 days.  Our stream was running again so it was time to get out and go out exploring.  The boy's favorite thing is to throw rocks into the ponds.

Catch Up - Christmas and Birthday

Here are some of the Christmas Presents for the Boys.  We had fun making many of the presents this year.  We did not make this marble run, but it is really fun.

Here is painting time.  One of Shiloh's favorite things to do.  He gets very serious and in to his paining. 

Pinewood Derby Painting Project.  Shiloh was quiet and accurate, Eli Screamed because he got paint in his fingers.  Eli's car was broken before the day of the race, Shiloh's was carefully preserved and watched over.

Yay for bunk beds.  Eli is still in his crib, but he is now in the same room as Shiloh.  They are one step closer to becoming bunk mates.
