Happy Easter!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday yesterday. Allan's parents have been visiting for the last couple of days and it was so nice to have them here for the holiday. We had a wonderful, sunny day! It was still in the upper 30's but at least the sun came out! It has actually been snowing the past few days, and then it all melted yesterday and then I woke up this morning and it was back! I want some sunshine!! And some warmth =) At least we had sun for the Easter egg hunt, so I guess that I can't really complain! Here are a few pictures!

Quick Trip

The boys and I went to Houston about 2 weeks ago for a VERY short trip! I am so sorry to all of those reading this and wondering why I didn't call, but we were only there for 1 week and before I knew it the week was up!! Anyways, here are some pictures from our trip.

Papa and Zachary



Chase and Lauren and I took the boys to the fire museum downtown. They had a great time climbing in and out of the fire trucks and trying on the gear. They especially loved sliding down the the cool fireman pole!







My mom and I took the boys to the zoo and they took a seat next to the brick that Yia Yia got for them!





We also made a stop to see my grandfather, the boys' great grandaddy. He loved our surprise visit!


We then went to see Uncle Chase at his Fire Station. The boys and I got our own personal tour!

Cheap fun

A few weeks ago I went to the grocery store and got some paper bags instead of plastic so when i got home Allan and the boys had fun making "policeman vests." Here are some pictures of them with their "uniforms" on!




**as you can also tell from these pics, matthew has quite the cow lick! the other night at dinner we were talking about his hair and allan said, "i don't know why we can't get it (the hair) to lay down." matthew said, "because daddy, it's not tired." kids say the funniest things sometimes!!
