DC Cherry Blossoms

 The boys and I had a beautiful day walking a short distance around the Tidal Basin and East Potomac Park to catch the Beautiful Cherry Blossoms.  Wow, were they gorgeous.  Although for some reason it made me really homesick for our Japan days.  It just wasn't quite the same.  But I am so glad we got to live here and enjoy their beauty for one more year.  The boys and I ate a picnic lunch under the blossoms before heading home.  Life is good.

 Bryce is so fun right now.  Although he has his 2 months(everything is "mine"), he brings us so much joy and laughter.  Bryce is a mamma's boy, but he is so much better now when he goes into nursery.  A funny phrase he says right now to me when I go down a slide or he leaves my side, he will say "Good luck, mom".  And he pretty much repeats everything that Chase says.

Chase seems to be getting older by the minute.  He just loves to be outside and be playing sports right now.  Basketball, Tee-ball, Soccer, Hockey, Tennis, and Football are his go to sports he plays with his Dad.  It is so fun to watch them play.  

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.
