Spring Happenings 2015

I have so many random pictures I want to remember so I decided to put them all in one post!
WARNING: picture overload {sorry...not sorry!}
 
****************************************
 
My sister and I took a random Friday off (when the kids were out of school) and went bowling!
The kids had fun!!
These two got a little wild but they just couldn't contain their excitement!!
(plus they are 6 year old boys...what are ya gonna do?!)
 
****************************************
My dad almost cut his finger off at work (doctors have no idea how the finger was saved and not damaged more then it was!)
He didn't listen to the doctors orders and went right back to work the next day and it got infected!
He spent a couple days in the hospital and finally realized he better follow the orders!
 
He needed help with yard work so he called one Saturday afternoon and asked if the boys could come out!
He said they were a big help and paid them $1....which they thought was super cool!!
I snapped this pic and LOVE it!
 
****************************************
My niece, Delaney Jo, stayed overnight with us while her mommy and daddy were out of town.
The boys absolutely loved it and I have to admit...I did too:)
 
****************************************
 The morning of spring pictures at school Pierce asked if he could tuck his shirt in. 
I said no.
He didn't listen.
Here's what we got;)

****************************************
 
I love getting these pictures throughout the day from Pierce's teacher, Mrs. Woods!
We love her and we will be sad to leave her after kindergarten!
 Also love getting pics from the playground!
Sure does make a mama feel good!
 
****************************************
Here are a few side by sides!
 
This is Travis on the right....and our nephew, Rayce, on the left!
I asked my SIL Jeana if she has been sleeping with my husband;)
 
Pierce and Rogan....left is them one year ago in 2014 and the right is them this year at Easter!
Love watching them grow up together!

Cormac (Rogan's brother) and Cash....as babies and then as big 4 year olds!!
Crazy how time flies!
{ Cash has always been a little bigger then Cormac;) }

And here are my babies!!  They are the same age in this pic...Pierce in 2010 and Cash in 2012!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
 
****************************************
You know you're getting old when you get excited about a garbage can;)
I don't care how lame I am...I love it!
 
****************************************
 
My little helper!
 And this NEVER happens!  These three all fell asleep!!
I let them snooze for a while and I enjoyed some quiet time!
 
****************************************
 
My parents have been traveling a lot lately...Arizona for a family friends wedding...Augusta, GA to watch the practice round of the Master's...then to Mertle Beach to extend their vacation!
 
So my mom is my best friend and we talk daily and see each other numerous times a week.
When she is gone I truly miss her!  My dad always gives me a hard time and before they left he jokingly asked if I was going to be okay with her gone!
 
Turns out I survived and was beyond excited when they returned home last Sunday.
I made the mistake of asking my dad where they were and when they would be home.
This was our convo Sunday afternoon....
I couldn't get it all on screen shot but he also went on with..."Williamsburg Exit"...."going through town"..."pulling in the driveway"..."HOME!!"
Thanks dad!

Easter 2015

We started the Easter festivities out with the Hopp Annual Easter Egg Hunt!
There were a lot of kids...and 600 eggs!!!
They all had so much fun:)
 Best I could get of the boys!
Rogan and Pierce....best buds forever!
 
****************************************
Next up...the Easter Bunny!
The boys did great...but notice Cash's body language!
It says I'll sit here for a picture but if that Bunny gives me one crooked look I'm outta here!!
Momma was pleased:)
 We did an Easter egg hunt in the city park but I apparently didn't take any pics!  What??!!!??!!!
Then we rushed back home to dye eggs!
 
 We had Easter supper at my parents that afternoon/evening but Travis was busy fighting grass fires!
 
I was not a happy wife....
All I will say is windy conditions and burning grass do NOT go together!
Travis missed parts of both of our Easter meals because of grass fires....again...not a happy wife!
 
The boys wanted to see where daddy was going so I took the long way to my parents to drive by one of the fires.
Once again...I wasn't on my game with my camera and I didn't get any pictures of Saturday at my parents!  Our whole family wasn't there so maybe that's why...who knows!
 
My SIL Amy joined the Catholic Church Saturday night so I attended mass for that!
Welcome to the church Amy!!!
Chrisy was her sponsor!
 
****************************************
 After a few hick-ups the Easter Bunny came!
 
Long story short...both boys need new bikes.  We don't normally spend that kind of money on Easter but it was very much needed!  We had them all ready to go and the day before the EB was coming Pierce found Cash's bike! 
Of course there was 100 questions from Pierce:( 
After many talks between Travis and myself and my friends I decided it was best if we kept the magic of Easter alive and got them other gifts!  Since they were getting bikes they weren't getting anything else....so I had nothing!!!!
I ran around town and the outlet mall with my head cut off but I think we did pretty good!
That Easter Bunny is pretty amazing;)
{I made arrangements for a friend to come while we were at church Sunday morning and put the bikes out in the garage...so when we returned home and opened the garage door they were there!  The boys were super excited...and we got the credit...not the EB:) }
 
****************************************
The boys after church....
....ummmmm......adorbs!!!!!
 Cash got new sunglasses (like mommy's!) and he loves them!
 
We spent Easter day with the Heitmans!
Here's all the kids getting ready for the egg hunt...and Grandma explaining the rules!
 Cash means business with his tongue is out!
 So proud of his eggs!
 Here's my attempt at a picture of the boys....I caught Pierce in the middle of a sneeze!
Bahahahahahaha;)
 Family selfie with Austin photo bombing it;)

I hope you all had a blessed Easter!!
