Fishing Trips and Easter

Adam and Mitchell have been enjoying the warm weather by spending every weekend lately at the lake fishing!  Mitchell has wanted to go everytime and has had a blast (still hasn't caught a fish himself) but apparently being "captain" of the boat and cracking peanuts to eat (which he calls "crackin snacks") is good enough for him!  So that leaves me home with just baby Jack and I must say that it is strangly quiet around here.  Here are a few photos of the boys and their fish.

Adam and Mitchell "the boat captain"


Adam, Mitchell and Mr. Chappy (Mitchell had a blast with Mr. Chappy!)


He has learned how to hold the fish!



The boys have also gone camping a few times.  It is so nice that Mitchell is old enough to do these things now.  He and Adam have a blast and I enjoy having some time to myself and some one on one time with Jack. 

Jack is growing so fast.  He is still a big boy!  He is rolling wherever he wants to go and has recently started pulling on his knees and rocking but that boys big ole' belly is still holding him back from crawling.  This means that he hasn't been able to get ahold of Mitchell's toys yet but that day will be here soon! 

We had a great Easter!  We dyed eggs with our sweet friends Justin and Cami.  This is becoming more fun the older Mitchell gets because up until this year, I think I did all of the dying.  The Easter Bunny came to visit leaving a trail of eggs from Mitchell and Jack's rooms down the stairs to their baskets.  Mitchell's response was, "Mom, who made this mess?"  He then had to pick up all the eggs on his way to the basket.  He was very excited about his chocolate bunny and new vtech reader story.  He also has played with Jack's racetrack toy more than Jack has.  Jack was most excited about his container of crunchies (you should buy stock in them because Jack eats about a container every 3 days)!  We went to church that morning and had Easter dinner with some friends.  The kids all played outside and had a blast!  Here are a few pictures from Easter and a few of the boys playing together.  I could sit there and watch them play all day!  Jack thinks Mitchell is the most hilarious person ever and I'm glad that someone finds Mitchell's jokes funny!

Jack driving his car!  He had a blast with Adam pushing him around.  He was turning the steering wheel like a pro!

Oh, Chocolate Bunny!

Oh, Crunchies!


The boys playing!  Jack had been laughing and laughing at Mitchell!


Hello blue eyes!

Starting to Blog???

I created this blog umm... three years ago!  I have not posted one single time.  I'm going to try to post a weekly update of the kiddos.  A few of our friends are awesome about doing a blog and keeping it posted and I feel like I know their kids and what is going on with them even though they live far away.  So I figured I might as well join the band wagon and start on ourselves.  It should be a good way to keep our family and friends updated on us since we don't get to visit very often.  So stay tuned for an update soon... and be nice as I am so new to this!
