Although Brad has been super busy studying for his board exam we are able to be with him in the evenings and we have had lots of fun having him home and getting to all be together. Here are some recent pics of our time together. The ones outside were from this past Friday night. We went to an outside movie and it was so much fun!
I am so happy and blessed to have my husband and my two boys. I LOVE being home with them and I am so grateful that I have that opportunity. I would not want to have any other job. And I am so grateful to know that I get to be with them for eternity.
So I bought some new snack holders for the boys to replace just putting their snacks in little tupperware holders. These snack holders are the no spill kind with the flaps on top that are supposed to prevent the kids from spilling them and to make it so they can just get a few at a time with their hands instead of trying to dump them. I was especially excited to get these for Ryder because when I give him a little cup of cheerios he automatically just flings it around and dumps it everywhere.
Well, he approached this new snack holder simply as a challenge to his amazing ability to dump the cheerios out.....
He figured out to just push down one of the flaps and quickly shake it back and forth to get them out and these are the results:
Just wanted to post a few pictures of the boys I have taken recently and tell you all what we have been up to lately. First of all, we had a great Easter. We had an Easter egg hunt at the church and then on Easter we went over to Brent and Meagan's house for an Easter dinner and egg hunt. Aiden had so much fun and I don't think he ate any real food on Sunday. He had candy, brownies, cupcakes...maybe some chicken nuggets somewhere in there, but that's about it. Oh and the Easter bunny came that morning and Aiden got his toy golf set that he had been talking about for a month before Easter. Poor Ryder couldn't quite enjoy the sugar this year like his brother did, but he had fun crawling around outside in the grass and playing with the fake grass in the baskets :)
This week is Brad's spring break! It has been SO nice to have him home and to just relax and have fun as a family. On Monday we went down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a few days. It is just a short 3 hour drive down and we had so much fun! We went to an indoor water park all day Tuesday and then on Wednesday we went to an aquarium before heading home. It was fun to just get away to a new place for a few days. Aiden was funny on the first night at the hotel. He was all excited and having fun the first few hours, but once he realized we were sleeping at the hotel he started having some anxiety. He kept saying, "Let's go home, we need to go back to our house." I realized that the last time we were at a hotel was when he was probably only 8 or 9 months. But he was fine and had a great time :) Here are some pictures from our adventure.
