The Easter Bunny!





We had a great Easter Weekend!  The weather was wonderful!  Dustin got the sprinklers in the back yard ALL DONE!  Hurray!  We stayed home and just hung out.  It was just what we all needed!  Saturday we had our neighbors, the Humphry's over to dye Easter Eggs, then we went to their house for a BBQ and and Egg Hunt!

Cub Scouts

 Dallin is having the time of his life in scouts!  He loves it!  He has the BEST scout leader too!  Sister Boyce is so cute!  She thinks the world of him and has done so much for this cute group of boys.  This week at pack meeting it was the bears turn to do the skit.  She make them all Indian moccasins, headbands, and the works!  She even brought her tee pee to make it fun!  The real kicker is she is 80 years old!  Yes you read it right... this high spirited gal who is still going the extra mile and my total inspiration is 80 years young.  She was just released as the primary president and thrown right into cub scouts to bless the life of my boy.  I can't thank her enough for being so on top of things and teaching Dallin so much.  I love her!
 Here is their cute little skit.  They worked hard and had so much fun dressing up and getting ready!

Our pack of wild Indians!

"The Team!"


Holly made this video for us for Christmas and I just finally got my hands on it!  It was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten...I cry every time I see it!  I am so thankful for my family!  ALL of them!  They are the best!

Speaking of "The Team"  baseball season is in full swing (haha...no pun intended!) at our house!  They boys {and I mean all of them...Dustin included} are loving it!  They can be found at one ball field or another just about every night of the week practicing and playing.
 Alex had his first game this week and he did great!  He it all his pitches...got on base and was all smiles! {He also lost his first tooth this week...he's in heaven showing off the big hole in his smile!}
 His coach has him a first base most of the time...
 Swing!
 A funny story...It was FREEZING at Alex's game so about an hour and 10 min into it I finally gave up and went to sit in the car with the other kids.  Dustin said that just after I left his coach put him up as the catcher and he was thrilled!  He was so excited to "gear up" and march out there.  The first thing he does as he squats down to take his position is yell at the top of his lungs...."PLAAAAAAY BAAAAAALLLLL!!!!"  Everyone in the crowed started laughing and cheering.  I guess we know what movie he's been watching lately!  Ha!
 Derrick has finally arrived on the T-Ball scene!  He LOVES it!  I think he's there more for the treats and the social hour, but still he says he's having fun!  He's super cute in his jersey and hat and he prides himself on the fact that he doesn't need the tee.  He told his coach, "just pitch it to me...I got this" in his cute squeaky voice.
 He wasn't kidding either...he can usually get a good hit off of one of the three pitches...
Here he comes running into home...so cute!
 Zeke is doing his best to be supportive...he's dying to get out there and play with the big boys!  A few more years buddy!

My New Thang!

This is my new obsession!  I am having so much fun using all of my cute fabric in my sewing room and making these cute bags!  I made up the pattern myself, and have various sizes and designs.  I think they're pretty darn cute and even more fun when you stuff them full of treats and things to give as gifts.  The girls I tend both got one for their birthdays and I've made all my sisters and Mom a BIG one.  It's been relaxing to to sit down and sew.  I like it.  I like thinking up fun things to make and putting them together.  I am having a blast with it.  I haven't even had to go buy one stitch of fabric yet for any them. I told myself I have to work with what I've got first.  So much fun!
