Easter Sunday

Well, I'm about a week late, but here are a few Easter pics.  Mom & Dad came over before church so we could take some pictures together.  I know I'm biased, but I think I've got some good looking boys!

 We didn't do Easter baskets this year.  It was more of an Easter gift.  Ryan got a new basketball and Aaron got a baseball net. (because there is no way I can play catch with him!)  They also had plenty of candy, which I've stayed out of.  (for the most part!)

Happy (belated) Easter!!

Grandpa Romine's Birthday

All of my mom's side of the family came in to celebrate my Grandpa Romine's 79th birthday.  My cousin, Ben, was the only one that couldn't make it, so we had a large group!

 Here are all the great grandkids.

Avery, Aaron, Clark, Ryan, Avelyn, & Cadence

 Here is my Grandma Romine with Aaron, Avery, & Clark.

My Grandpa Romine taking Avelyn and Ryan for a ride.  They loved it, and kept asking others to take them after he stopped.  Before anyone panics, no I did not take a turn driving them!

Baseball!

It's that time of year again! Aaron is playing in the Pittsburg County Little League again, but this is our first year in kid pitch.  His team is the Scrappers.

This is how Ryan entertained himself during Aaron's first game.  I stressed that he would not be able to play in the dirt at every game.  He was filthy and wore out, but he had a blast!

Kitchen Update

Here are a few pics of the kitchen.  Doing the work ourselves makes it a little slow at times, but on the other hand I'm surprised at how much we have already done.  The bottom cabinets are stained, but Denny hasn't made any doors yet. (doors will be the last thing).  The bottom cabinets are now ready for me to stain.  Unfortunately I've been working a lot lately, so it may have to wait until the weekend.

 Both of the boys like to help!

Secret message Denny wrote before he attached a piece of wood.  :)

Ryan's 1st Field Trip

Today Ryan and I went to the Children's Museum in Seminole with his school.  This was his 1st field trip, and he had a blast!  I was in charge of 5 kids, so he had to be my helper.  I was very proud of him!

 These were my 5 to keep up with.

 Ryan with Laynie & Michaela playing in the dentist section.

 Ryan & Gunner loved playing in the water section.  Ryan's shirt was soaked!

 Each one had to pose on the gorilla.

I'm so glad I was able to go with him on his 1st field trip!!

My wonderful husband!!!

Okay, so we've decided it's time to take on another project.  What can I say...we love fixing up the house!  After getting some quotes on new kitchen cabinets, Denny decided he would build them himself.  So, he spent this weekend building our new base cabinet.  (we didn't have cabinets here originally, so there hasn't been any demo yet)  I plan on this being my "baking station."  It's also a bar that the boys will be able to sit and do homework at.  I still can't believe how much Denny got done this weekend.  I am a very lucky woman!! (and not just because he's handy around the house!)

 Ryan is very excited about this project.  He helped tear up the linoleum where the new cabinets were going to go.  He also helped Denny clamp some pieces together, sweep up dust, and whatever else he could help with.  Can you tell which clamps are Denny's?   :)

 My hard working husband.

And this is what we have so far.  Pretty good for one weekend, huh?!

Dr. Seuss Week

This past week was Dr. Seuss week at Ryan's school.  Each day they got to wear something different, and then read a Dr. Seuss book or watch a cartoon.  I love Dr. Seuss books, so we tried to read them at home each night, too.

 Here is a picture of hat day.  

(Durham Bulls was Aaron's baseball team last year.)

This was pajama day.  He likes his "cool" poses!

On Friday they were supposed to wear green, and they had green eggs & ham for breakfast.  I was tempted to eat with him that morning! :)

"So...

be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray

or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,

you're off to Great Places!

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting.

So...get on your way!"

(from Oh, the Places You'll Go!  

which is the first Dr. Seuss book the boys ever got.)
