My dad has made homemade pizza for as long as I can remember. He decided to make it while we were visiting and the boys had a blast helping him!

The boys love love to ride bikes. I am so glad that we had room and were able to take them to TN. Max made a path and he would go up the neighbors driveway and down Grampy's. 
 

Happy Birthday! Sheldon turns 30 today and we are so excited! We had a little family party for him last night. The boys were thrilled. I took them to the store and let them each pick a gift for their dad. Max picked a Gatorade because Sheldon buys them for Max all the time. Crocker picked a coffee cup because Sheldon loves to drink coffee.

Last week, we had an opportunity to head to TN for a week. It was very last minute, but I jumped at the chance. The boys were so excited to go and see Grampy and Nanny. I was excited to have my dad and Eli meet. It was such a sweet moment and I am glad we were able to go.

I take a lot of pictures with my cell phone. I always have it with me, so it is so easy to just whip it out.
This post is a phone dump of all the pictures I need to blog.

Max is totally smitten with one of our friends little girls. They are right at the same age and love to have play dates. The little girl's mom took a picture of them in their Easter best. Aren't they precious!?!
I can't believe my 4.5 year old already has a crush on a girl!






Max is so sweet and tender-hearted. He is always bringing me weeds flowers from the yard and the other day he wrote this note for Sheldon. I helped him with the spelling, but he voiced what he wanted to write.




Crocker is a 2.5 year old mess. He is into everything and had a serious sugar high from Easter. We went to 2 egg hunts and a few neighbors brought over toys, candy, and cookies for the boys. He was in heaven.




He loves loves to color with markers. One day after he drew on himself, I figured out that markers wipe off skin with a baby wipe.
After that, we drew mustaches one day and he was in heaven!



He loves loves to climb in his brothers seat and pretend he is a baby too!



Eli is now 2.5 months old and is a complete joy. He is on the same sleeping schedule as his brothers.
When he gets mad, sad, or fussy he pooches out his bottom lip. He is so pitiful and I don't think he could stick it out more if he tried.



Thankfully, this is the face we are used to seeing. He is a happy, smiley boy.

My boys love love Easter eggs. For a treat after naps, I fill some with treats and they open them as their snack.

Sheldon and I did several activities with the boys in the weeks leading up to Easter. We did Resurrection Eggs and we made Resurrection Rolls.

I found the idea here and it is really simple.

The boys were really excited about it and did a pretty good job.




Crocker got a little carried away and ate his marshmallow.







They were thrilled to see the end result and even more excited to eat them!

A few days before Easter, we had an egg dyeing party. It was so fun and all the kids loved it!

We gave the boys their Easter baskets the Saturday before Easter.

They were thrilled with their new surprises.

Each big boy got a new devotional book, a transformer, a book for their Tag reader, and a new movie. Eli got a movie and a new pacifier.



You can tell the big boys are thrilled and Eli is a little insure about the festivities.
