He has Risen!

Happy Easter!!!

The last soccer game of the season was last evening.
I took a little video and Max is #4 on the maroon team. He is kicking the ball off.






His team did so well and won almost all of their games.




Max was proud to be a part of a team and he definitely earned his medal!

A few randoms:


Crocker asks for milk as soon as he waked up each morning. He just cannot start his day without it.



A dog got in the trash the other day and scattered it around the yard. I sent Max out with a sack and he picked it all up for a pudding.






Sheldon and his mini me.



Max made a mud pie  and picked me a jar of yellow and purple flowers from the yard.



I have seen many of these bouquets since he was born and I am sure I will get many more as the years go by.
Crocker wanted a jar too, but he only picked a few.

We are in the middle of soccer season and Max is loving every minute of it. He is doing a lot better than last year and has even kicked the ball a few times.

Eli was not in the mood to go to a soccer game the other night.




He got his clothes changed, got in his car seat, and took a little nap.



Crocker had his cap, cup, and shades. He is a true fan!



Max did so so good at his game on Thursday night. He even scored a goal! Sheldon and I were thrilled!!!

For the past month, I have been planning an Easter party for the boys and all of their friends. The party was this morning and it was an absolute success! The boys loved it and all of their friends had the best time!

I sent out invitations to 15 of the boys friends. Only 2 kids couldn't make it, so we had 13.

We had muffins, fruit, water, tea and capri sun's for snacks.












I ordered crafts from Oriental Trading and all the kids really enjoyed making them.










After snacks and crafts, we had an egg hunt. I bought colored baskets and ordered filled eggs from Oriental Trading and there was enough for everyone to hunt 9 eggs. That ended up being plenty and the kids loved running after the eggs and then opening them to see what was in them.








After the egg hunt, the kids played in the backyard and then we gathered them all up for a group picture.




I packaged up peeps for the party favors and they turned out cute!

Monday was a special day. Sheldon promised Max that when he could ride his bike with out training wheels and when he could use his brake and not his feet to stop, then he would get a new bike.
Max has been practicing almost everyday and was finally ready. So, Sheldon brought him a new bike when he came home from work Monday night.

Max was thrilled!!!








Sheldon took off the training wheels and they went for a bike ride.

* He has rolled over 1 time, on March 20.
