rainy day

Here's the rest of the Easter pictures. I was going to post the opening day of baseball season--but it was rained out. It has been raining ALL day today!
The boys played lots of basketball--almost all day that Friday--waiting for Danny to get home from school.
Go Joel--you got this!
2 on 1

Jacob and Joel ganged up on their dad.
"Okay, that's enough!"
The little ones needed a break. They mostly sat and watched.
Danny had a scrimmage, Saturday. We had lots of fun at the ball park. The Morris' had never seen Danny play in a game. He made to first and scored on this at bat.
Does this look familiar? Eli and Aaron--sitting and watching!
goob
We had so much fun the whole weekend. Saturday night the boys stayed up late and watched movies. That didn't matter to these early risers--Joel and Aaron were the first ones up everyday. I think they were catching up on ESPN Sportscenter.

fresh and clean

Check out Aaron's new do! He's all fresh for Nathaniel and Kim's wedding in a couple weeks. My cousin is getting married. WOOHOO--road trip!
Who gave him a marker to play with?? No one! I don't know where he finds this stuff.
side view--He loves to wear this back pack. Eli gave it to him when they were here visiting. And Aaron wants it on all the time!

Aaron knows how to throw his diaper away. He picked it up, yesterday and I said, "Do you want to throw your diaper away?" And he padded off into the kitchen and threw it in the trash can. It was so funny! Now, every time after I change him, he rolls over, picks up the diaper, and throws it away. Smart!

Happy Birthday!

"Happy Birthday, Mamaw! We love you!!"

Today is Mamaw's birthday and we wanted her to know how much we love and appreciate her. Our kids are so blessed to have their Mamaw. She would do anything and does absolutely everything for her grandsons.
"Yay! Mamaw!"
"I just love a party!"
"Happy Birthday, Memaw! We love you!!"
Dawn (Brian's mom) had a birthday last week. We really do miss everyone back home. Here are her grandkids--Danny and Aaron and Haley and Jaden. Haley is a rose among thorns.

Aaron and Memaw Christmas morning.
"Raise the roof!"

Have a great day, Mamaw and Memaw!

weekenders

We had more company over the weekend. My Aunt Darlene and Uncle Bob were in the neighborhood! Aunt Darlene had a conference this week in Va Beach, so they came a day early to spend some time with us. We had a great time--I forgot to take pictures, though--I was so mad at myself! This picture is from Uncle Bob's birthday.

They got here Friday and spent the night. We went to lunch on Saturday and then they were on their way. We wish they could've stayed longer. We all really had a good time.

I gotta tell you this--Saturday morning Aunt Darlene was sitting on the floor, putting on her make up. And, you know Aaron--he couldn't resist--he pulled everything out of her bag--even the cotton balls. He got her deodorant and was taking the lid on and off. Then, he put it up under his shirt and pretended to put it on. We were laughing so hard! It was absolutely hysterical!! I'm telling you--my baby is so smart!! tee hee

coloring eggs

The Morris' came to visit for Easter weekend and we had a BLAST!! These are pictures from Friday night when we colored eggs. The minute they got here Thursday night Eli was asking when we were going to "paint" eggs. Mamaw sent a glow in the dark paint set for the eggs--Thanks Mamaw! (that was a bit of sarcasm from Kelli and I) We had a ham dinner and then painted eggs. After a round of baths we ate "Easter Sundaes"--get it?? Easter Sunday? Joel was the only one who found that even a little bit amusing--I thought I was being so funny and clever. I have more pictures but I just wanted to throw you a little update. Danny opted out of the egg painting extravaganza--oh well--more eggs for Eli!

That's Aaron's egg on the bottom in the middle--the one that's broken. Aunt Kelli still helped him paint the part the wasn't cracked.
Yay!
"Can we start, yet?"
"How does this thing work?"
"Easy does it!"
As with everything else--it ended up in his mouth!

The boys painting.

Chaos!

chores

Aaron has so many chores keeping him busy--like paying the bills,
mowing the lawn,
"Whew! Time for a break and one drink isn't enough!"
sweeping the porch,
and last but not least, picking up pine cones.
For those of you who are wondering--yes! Danny is still here! He's just not real big on getting his picture taken--apparently it pains him greatly and causes his eyes to roll. But, baseball is starting soon and I'll get some pics then.
"Finally--a bath!"

the outdoorsman

Aaron loves, loves, loves it outside! I have a feeling I'm going to have no trouble working on my tan this summer.

Enjoy the videos!
