Happy Easter!

We dyed Easter eggs this week!


And ate Peeps!


The Easter bunny dropped off these character themed baskets with candy inside.


Elliot ate the chocolate bunny. Yum!


Then he started an elaborate nest where he laid all the Easter eggs that we dyed.


He brought a bunny over for inspection.


Eventually the Angry Birds and a chick joined in too.


Here is what I’m most thankful for this Easter!

Batman Brothers

Another birthday month has come and gone! Thank you to everyone who made these guys’ days so special! Not only did they each celebrate being another year older this month but they were also quite sick for most of it. Everyone is feeling better now! I called this blog post Batman Brothers because they received a couple of the same Batman toys. And instead of one of them being Batman and the other Robin, they were just both Batman, and they called themselves Batman Brothers. That’s pretty good sharing, I think. They are growing up so fast and are good friends too.

Here are some pictures that we took this past month. We had a pirate-themed combo birthday party, complete with a plank to walk and a treasure chest full of booty! Enjoy!

Rectangle windows

Trav started a new gymnastics class today. It’s the next age group up and doesn’t require parent participation. It’s also in a new city and building. Trav got a chocolate coin at the end of class, stamps on his feet, and a lot of teacher attention. He jumped and flipped and bear crawled and monkey jumped for an hour. When Fletch got home from work I asked Trav to tell his dad about his new gym class. Trav said, “Rectangle windows.”

Trav’s Special Circle Time

Here is the video of Trav’s special circle time. Sorry I’m sitting behind the boy! It’s a 5-minute video, but you can see pretty early on that they discuss Travis’ growth over the years and he walks around the sun to represent each year’s growth. At the end they sing happy birthday to Travis. What a special boy! 

This week

The kids started swimming lessons again.


Trav turned three years old! Both boys got lots of presents!


Making s’mores.


Birthday card excitement!


Presents for Elliot!
