Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter.  We have 8:30 church, so the Easter Bunny came to our house while we were at church.  These are my handsome boys that I love so much, so grateful every day of my life for my savior and my wonderful family.





 And they are off.  The rain held off till right after we finished our egg hunt.  So happy.






Getting Ready for Easter

 The picture with the Easter Bunny went great.  Bryce loved the Bunny and kept touching his fur and petting him and liked to hold his hand.  Chase is in a weird cheese smile mode.  We took a lot of shots, but couldn't get Chase to smile normal.  But I love these sweet boys.  Chase was really excited for Easter this year, and Bryce just tags along.
 My boys(Cole included) love coloring eggs.  They take it so seriously.




Bunnyland at Butlers Orchard

The Saturday before Easter we took the fam to Bunnyland at Butlers Orchard.  The kids had a great time.  And Butlers has the best carmel apples and kettle corn that I ate up for lunch.







Chase started out good, but then ended up backwards by the end.  It was a big initial drop.


Baby chicks, Bryce loves baby chicks or just the fact that he can say "chickie".
 Petting the baby bunny.










Ants and Sea Monkeys

 Above is Chase's Ant Farm that his Grandma Dawn sent him.  Chase has loved watching the ants build all the tunnels(I think his Dad likes it more).  But this has been a really cool fun gift that we check on daily.  I like it too, except when Cole lets air out and the ants sneak out(these harvester ants bite, but I guess they are the most fun to watch).
If you look really close you can see two of the several sea monkeys that seem to be doing well.  The first couple of weeks we weren't even able to see them they were so small.  Chase and Bryce love checking on their sea monkeys and feeding them.  Thanks Grammy for the sea monkeys.

Chase still loves Science and loves his Science books.  Plus they are learning about insects at school and gardening so he is loving preschool right now.

1st Day of Spring Break-Sledding

This was a crazy way to start Spring Break.  Our second snow storm of the winter.  Probably about a foot of snow, but enough to go sledding.  The boys and I had a blast sledding down the hill at our neighborhood park.



 And they loved throwing snow in the creek.  It was really pretty day with the snow falling and looking up at all the trees.

Bryce's Soccer Class

Bryce was so cute in his first little soccer class.  It was a mommy and me class that I did with him at the same time Chase did his soccer/basketball class.  He loved it.  And he still tells me everyday that he wants to go to soccer class "Go Soccer Class, mommy".  Bryce is a natural and he loved kicking the ball into the goal.  I think him and his brother are going to have fun when they get older playing this sport together.




Team cheer.  Bryce got a certificate that he is so proud of and it is up on the fridge.  



Chase's Basketball/Soccer Class

Chase loved his basketball/soccer class this past winter.  They spent the first 30 min. focusing on basketball drills and scrimmaging, and the second half on soccer drills and scrimmaging.  Of course, Chase loved the soccer more.  But he was not too shabby either.  He is still really sad that this class is over.  And he takes after his dad, Chase would go full speed the whole hour, and was probably the second best in the class(the best kid was a year older).  

Swish!
 He Shoots!
He Scores!

Chase is a machine! He scored a lot of goals.  


Last day of class, Spring break had started so more than half the kids were gone for the last day.
