Easter

Easter morning Liam came into our room, opened the door, and said "Come look guys!"  Chris and I played it cool and said "What is it?'  He just looked back at us and said "You just got to go see." Finally I said "Did the Easter bunny come?"  He excitedly said "Ya!" Haha, He was pretty pumped. So we all got up and came to see what the boys got in their Easter Baskets :)
Colin checking his out.
Liam pretty pumped about his book

Liam immediately wanted to open his eggs and eat all the candy.  He was allowed one and then needed to eat some breakfast :)
Colin's face after attempting to eat an unwrapped chocolate, ha!
My babies after finding the eggs the Easter bunny hid.
After our egg hunt at home we went to G&G Snay's for an Easter breakfast.  The boys were pretty pumped to find some more Easter goodies from G&G and Uncle Matt and Emily
We ate breakfast and then the boys had another egg hunt in the backyard
Egg hunters
Mom's flowers look pretty awesome in the backyard so we tried to get a few pictures.  This was the best we could get :)
Aunt Sadie wanted a picture with the boys but Colin had other plans
Colin had the most fun playing with the cat and you can see she enjoyed it too.
We left G&G's and went over to G&G Casson's. The boys played for a while and then we came home and took naps before heading over to Great Grandma Bradley's for Easter dinner.
Here are all the kids gearing up for the egg hunt
Liam and Paige
Colin found and egg in the bush but wouldn't reach in and grab it.  Eventually Liam came over and helped him, ha!
Aunt Trudi and Uncle Mike got Liam a cool Spiderman watch and he LOVES it. (He has worn it everyday this week and insisted on wearing it to school too)
Uncle Mike modeling in the grass
These four had so much fun wrestling with each other in the grass. I pretty much love Colin's face in this one.
Monkeys
Silly boys
We had a wonderful day and had time to spend it with everyone without completely running ourselves ragged.  It was stress free. I was so unorganized this year I didn't even get the kids Easter outfits and just dug something out of the drawer.  It was almost better not worrying about it and made for a very pleasant day :)

15 & 16 Weeks

It's official: the belly pictures have started.  Last Thursday I was officially 15 weeks.  I feel like this pregnancy has gone pretty slow so far but I am sure it is going speed up soon enough.
I love how Liam is holding his belly with me :)
And this one of Colin drilling me in the bottom
Baby Casson # 3
Now then yesterday marked 16 weeks.
The boys and the belly
Baby Casson 3 is the size about the size of an avocado.  He or She is about 4 1/2 inches long and weighs about 3 1/2 ounces.
Now then I have been feeling pretty good just still very tired some days!  It's much harder to rest with two little ones who want to run and play all day and some days I feel bad that I just need to sit down and let them watch some T.V. purely so I can have a break.  I can't wait to have my energy back soon :)

Pre-Easter (Preaster?)

These photos were from Friday night but they are so sweet I had to post.
My little peanut
My sweet munchkin givin' me a kiss
On Saturday evening we had a birthday party/egg dying party with my grandma.  She turned 84 on Sunday but we celebrated a little early :)
The boys helped blow out the candles
Everyone eating some cake and ice cream
Then grandma opened her birthday gifts.  The boys helped her out there too.
First attempt to get a picture of grandma and the boys.  Colin was unwilling to get off his toy
Liam was all about hanging out with great grandma though.  I think this is a great picture :)
Then great grandma gave the boys some Easter baskets and we got a few more pictures especially since Colin was willing to sit on the couch.
Eventually it was egg dying time!  I bought three different kits so we had all sorts of stuff to play with.  Grandma helped Liam and he participated for a couple eggs and then went to play in the back yard.
Grandma's and Liam
Colin came to visit when we were done.  He spent his time playing with grandpa
Eggs
Sadie and grandma
Grandkids wth grandma
We had a really nice evening and it was so nice getting to celebrate with grandma since she hasn't been out to Arizona in about five years.  We are glad she was able to visit for a few months this year :)

Boot Camp Easter

Wednesday the boys geared up for boot camp!  It was a pretty awesome day.  Anna put on an Easter egg hunt for the kids.  They got to: find and egg, take it to show Anna, and do an exercise before going back to find another one.
Driving to boot camp with their sunglasses on
They started out doing a little balancing on the beam
I completely chopped Liam's head but I love how he was sticking his tongue out.
Once all the kids arrived we went over to the Bonelli House and did a little egg hunting.
Liam found and egg and it was time for some mountain climbers.
The kids were really fun to watch.  They all basically avoided grabbing the plain colored eggs first and went for the sports designed ones or the jewel shaped ones.  Lastly they went for plain looking eggs, ha!
Minuet and Liam

Once all the eggs were found they went back to the gym and checked out all the eggs

 Liam immediately started eating his candy.
It was a good time.
