Mommy & Son Night

Tonight Kerry decided to help a friend with his racecar so it was just me and the boys to hang out for a while after work. Usually we have frozen pizza every Friday night but I thought why not let the boys pick what they want so Gavin had cheese sandwiches and Griffy had almost two corndogs. Yet he loves corndogs. We decided to mix it up a little and we ate on the front porch on the swing. The boys loved it. Afterwards we walked to the park (them in the wagon and me pulling)and played for about an hour and half before heading to home. I have discovered that Gavin loves to greet everyone that comes by. He knows no stranger as long as he is with Mommy. I wonder where that comes from. We headed home and read two stories and I haven't heard a peep out of them since I laid them down for bed. We didn't do much but I hope they remember the little things and especially the family time.

Gavin did have a little problem with Daddy going to the races without him but I think he really enjoyed himself. (Sidenote: The boys are ADDICTED to racing)

Yes again no pictures because some day I will get good batteries for my camera.

Happy Mother's Day

This year is the first year ever that I received a homemade Mother's Day item and I LOVE IT!!! He learned how to make the letters at school and he put the plant together as well. He couldn't wait to give it to me so he gave it to me on Friday because he was so excited what he made in Pre-K. On the bottle it says, "My love for you grows and grows". Talk about melting momma's heart and he did just that. Griffy gave me a huge hug and tried to write his name on a card he gave me. These two are such a blessing and I'm so proud to be called their MOM! Words can not express how much I love them and their daddy!!

Spring Fun

Now that we have entered into Spring and can play outside, the boys are all about playing with their friends. The sport of choice is baseball. My good friend, Bridget Curl, pitched to them all night long all the while the kids kept on playing ball and running bases. I was impressed how far Gavin hit the ball and that Griffin hit the ball as well. He took a little bit to warm up but once he did he was all about playing.

Gavin starts T-Ball games in a couple of weeks and it is going to be amazing to see the change from last year to this year. I just wish I would have videoed last years games.

He must have hit it far past the pitcher.

I love that the boys love to play outside with their friends. I can't wait to see what the rest of the Spring and Summer brings.

Meet Evan

Over Easter weekend and right before my grandma died, my brother, his girlfriend, and their son, Evan, came home for a visit. He is absolutely adorable and my boys love him. He was born on Nov. 7 so he is just a little over 5 months old. The boys just loved to help give him a bath, change his diaper, and play with him. Evan was just a great trooper and never really cried at all. This was the first time we all got to see him so we were excited. These are pictures from my brother since my camera's batteries are bad but you can still tell how adorable these boys are.

Patrick and Evan swinging. I don't believe this is in Illinois. (I don't know how to turn the picture from another person so you will have to turn your head). I love those chunky legs.

Papa 4 wheeler and Evan...

We enjoyed their visit and can't wait to see him again but hopefully the next time it will be on a happier note!
