EASTER

 Noah with his chickie

 Owen and his chickie

 Well my parents got the boys some chickens for Easter. They will live there and not here. They named them Owen, Noah, Oskar and Logan. After themselves and friends at school. Crazy boys.  They are some real poopers but cute. Maybe they will lay eggs that Owen and Noah can't eat..... unless we bake a cake with them.

 Easter egg hunt at Maw Maw Cassie's. We did 3 eggs hunts, got way way too much candy for Easter.

 Noah and the double down hill

 Noah's big air

 Owen's big air. We were so happy he rode and jumped. He hasn't rode a lot lately but he still has it...

 Easter at church in front of the cross. We all put some daffodils on it. We love this tradition.

A beautifully decorated cross in honor or Jesus. It perked up the dreary day. We love hearing the boys tell us about stories in the bible. They seem to know and understand a lot. We are just grateful for our freedom and for Jesus forgiving us of our sins. We had a good Easter weekend playing with friend and eating with families.

Dying Eggs

 We got on our old clothes, got some eggs, and food coloring and went to work dying some colorful eggs this year. It was one of our best years for color.

 Owen and his egg.

 Noah and his egg.

 Here we are all tye dying our eggs.

 This is our proof that they are twins. They never ever dress anything alike. Haven't for years. Both dressed with green shirts and khaki shorts. The came out and Scott and I were shocked. This never happens. They even thought it was cool for a few minutes.

They boys!!!

March 2013

 One of the only warm shorts days we had all month. March was cold and rainy. Plus most of the month we were sick. Everyone but Scott has had the stomach bug, (Noah is finishing up round 2 within 3 weeks), all of us have had horrible allergies, sinus infection and coughs. So we hope after this 1st week of April we will be blessed with some good health!!

 Noah bundled up jumping his bike. Owen and Scott are throwing baseball.

 Brothers acting nutty but sweet.

 We have started baseball at Startown Optimist. They are playing with their best buddy from school-Oskar!! We've only had a few practices and Slam Jam. Our first game is this coming Thursday.

 Walking out on the field at Slam Jam.

. The team. They are the Thunder!!! They may be small but they will be loud.

They got their hair dyed, faces painted and jumped in bouncy houses. They had a good time even though it was cold and dreary. Here's to a great fun season.

Weeks in Review

 Here they are jumping their bikes at the park in Conover. It was good to get out and ride. We haven't gotten to ride as much since it has been so cold and rainy. We are ready for spring.

 We got t-shirts made at the mall and let me tell you were are proud of them. Owen is in the osiris and Noah in the vans. They are clothes crazy!!

 We played basketball. They had a blast. They had 6 games and 6 practices. Owen was named psycho O b/c he was all about it. Super aggressive, was everywhere and was a hustler!!

 They celebrated the 100th day at school. They all dresses up as if they were 100 years old. Noah has the walker and Owen the old man jogging pants.

 Here they are with their best buddy from school Oskar. He is a cool kid.

 We also got bunk beds that fill the entire room. It started out as Owen being on top and 1 week later Noah is now officially on the top. Keep in mind Noah is not a lover of heights. So far so good. Not real cool if they get sick but we will see how it goes. No broken bones yet from trying to jump.....

Valentine's Day... We did not do candy but found this awesome deal on these crazy Osiris shoes that they have been begging for. Man they are bright. They are still a little big but they wear them no matter what. They cried over them when we told them no and they came home with blisters. Maybe one day they will design clothes, shoes bikes etc.

Well the past month has been good. Had some allergies and asthma coughs, homework and fun hanging out with friends and family. They are great readers and spellers at school. They are part of the fab five in their class. Which means top readers, fast phrases and taking spelling tests each week with 10 words each week. We are so very proud of them. They amaze us and are growing up so fast. They are doing some math stuff now so I am out. That will be Scott's job since that is not my forte. I hope to add some more pics soon from my regular camera. All these are from my phone. We are looking forward to spring with longer days, more sun and warmer temps. We will start baseball in April. Not sure about racing BMX b/c now they are determined to get a new mountain bike. They love to jump and they said they want to ride with their daddy. So you know what that means.. new bikes especially if dad is involved and he is all in it!!

Christmas 2012

 Christmas at Maw Maw Barbara's. We went for lunch this year and had a good time. One of my favorites of the day was the ham!

 Putting out reindeer food

 Making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. This was the first year ever we were at home for the evening. We had so much fun making cookies, talking, laughing, making a huge mess, and drinking Grinch punch. Woo hoo.

 Noah's Nike 6.0 cookie for Santa.

 I'm sexy and I know it... (Owen)

 Our poor little Owen woke up at 1:00am with a mild case of the stomach bug. He threw up several times so we didn't have a whole lot of pics but he was a true champ and made it long enough to open presents.

 Noah on the other hand was about to die to open up presents. He was up several times waiting and then was into everything and basically bouncing off the walls.

 Looking at the new ramps.

 Can you tell the difference of healthy vs sick???

 Owen losing the battle. About to pass out.

 Noah still going strong. This kid is psycho over presents. He's not greedy or selfish just loves to open them.

Owen is officially wiped out.

 Me and my boys. The best gift ever. Can't believe they are 6 already.

 Playing the wii. Owen is feeling better now. At least it was a quick bug....

 Christmas afternoon at Maw Maw Cassie's. We had spaghetti this year. Great as always. Had fun and Owen still hanging in there tired and puny.

We had another wonderful Christmas all things considered. Busy and crazy as always. I love all of the Christmas traditions, extra family time, and just the true meaning of Christmas. We have so much to be thankful for. Most of all I am just glad to have such a wonderful husband who makes me so happy and 2 bright, energetic boys that I love with all my heart anod soul.

Santa

 We went to the mall to talk to Santa. He was much better this year than last.

Feeding the horses at Bradley's. Owen loved them.

Our family Christmas card picture. Owen always with a crazy look and smile. We were just lucky to get a family pic made b/c they were sick on and off all December.
