MONSTER TRUCKS!!!

 

 

Last night Ethan & his best buddy Erik from school went to see the Monster Truck Jams with their dads. They had a blast!! Ethan has never seen a real Monster truck before, so he was very excited!!

              They got to check out the trucks up close & meet a few of the drivers! monster trucks 006  Fred said he had to stick him in the tire! How many kids can fit perfectly in a tire like that?

SwOrD FiGhT!!!!

Not very much exciting going on here lately to post about. Just going about our normal crazy day to day lives! And trying to enjoy the nice beginning of Spring we have been given.

Last weekend we enjoyed a nice Sunday with a visit from the Camengas. We love our monthly get together with them! We usually just hang around & spend a nice day relaxing & chatting while the kids all play. This time the boys broke out the foam swords! So this lead to the little boys & the big boys having a fun sword fight! It was very comical!



As you will notice the dads do not move from their seated positions!

Afterwords the kids all decided to go into the laundry room & "nap" together on the floor because Grace's baby doll was "napping" in there! Really not sure why they chose to "nap" in the smallest /most cluttered room in the house.
We always try to end our visits with a nice group picture. It's really hard to get them all to cooperate & look at the camera all at the same time. Collin was napping (for real this time) so he couldn't join in on picture time.



Cant wait until next months visit!

Elmo & the Sesame Street Gang

Last weekend we took the boys to see Sesame Street Live. This year's theme was "When Elmo Grows Up" We have now gone three years in a row. This year my best friend Kelly & her son Alex joined us. The kids all had so much fun! They were clapping, singing & dancing. Collin is really getting into Elmo right now so he was loving every minute of it!
