Spring Summary

Here I am again trying to summarize the last three months.  Spring was beautiful and pretty busy apparently.
Will and his friend Liesel threw a party for their friends.  They made invitations, delivered them, and decorated.  Mostly they just wanted to have a party so they could use the streamers they found in our closet.  I used the opportunity to try out rainbow cupcakes.  Will was fascinated with mixing the colors, and you can tell he tasted each one to make sure they were all equally yummy.  The party was a low-key success.  It's easy to be a success when there are no expectations.

Back when working at NASA was a possibiilty, Britton took the boys to the nearby NASA visitor's center.  It's a little boy's paradise with all the space shuttles, space suits, and buttons to press.

We've been riding bikes to church a lot lately.  The boys are wiped out on the ride home.

Elliot attended his first Halo Fest!  Halo Fest 2012 was open to all ages in an effort to get the boys started on video games young.  Elliot also got to play with a new friend Evan while the dads zoned out in Halo land.  I owe a big thank-you to the Colvers for hosting, and especially Victoria for making sure the little boys were fed, bathed, and well looked after. :)

Will and I hung out at home while they were away.  We had a great time cleaning the house together...and then we went to Great America!  We had fun too.

One of those weekend we drove down south to visit my nephew in the central coast.  We watched him hit three triples at his baseball game!  The little boys were in awe of his awesomeness.

Easter Egg Hunt

The Scarboroughs invited everyone over for the traditional Easter egg hunt this year.  It was so sweet to see Elliot get excited about collecting the eggs.  He was so pleased with himself.

The yard was full of plenty of steps, bushes, and lots of fun hiding places for eggs.

We had some special visitors from Idaho!  Derek and Victoria made the trip over during a break in school so we could all meet sweet baby Justin.  Justin got his own bucket for collecting eggs, but someone... ate all his candy!

This was actually Will's second Easter egg hunt for the day so he had plenty of sugar.  We had to help take care of it.

Nana outfitted the cousins in matching clothes again!  The adults were still free to wear clothes of their own choosing, but I made Britton coordinate for a family photo. 
These cousins are so cute!  It's been great to see them play together more.  However with five boys all about a year apart, things could get pretty crazy.
