After a cold winter, it feels good to wear shorts and sandals again! And, first up on our to-do list was trying to teach these guys how to hold their own in the swimming pool! We signed up for 8 lessons at Clubworx, and although they can't swim solo yet, at least they are more comfortable in the water!
 |
| The one girl kicked all the boys' tails!! |
From one sport to the next, time for a little baseball practice!!
 |
| Hmmm...can you tell it's been a while since we practiced?? ;) |
Off to Grandma's house for a little science and gardening lesson--Cha Cha Cha Chia!!
Well, kind of--the boys grew some grass planted in little "animal" pots :)
 |
| Pouring in the soil and then filling it with seeds :) |
 |
| Haha, Tommy eagerly awaiting the animals to grow their "hair"! |
 |
| A fun game they play with Grandma--"In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion/sully sleeps tonight!" |
Time for a little snack and play-time with our little next door neighbors!
 |
| They think they are hot stuff with their very own patio set! |
 |
| Granddaddy carrying the load--who wouldn't need a little drink haha! |
 |
| Upon further evaluation, Granddaddy has a better idea to pitch.... |
 |
| Hahahahahahaha....good try, Granddaddy--they gave it their best! |
 |
| That's what I like to see--my boys taking good care of a girl! Just like their Daddy! |
 |
| Getting a little gross motor/risk taking in! We were practicing for jumping in the pool :) |
 |
| That's "3" buddy--time to jump! |
 |
| What a night!! These boys are tuckered out! |
I am not sure exactly what happened to me for these...I was either sick or had initially hurt my back...seems like such a long time ago! Anyway, Davey took the boys to meet up with his Dad and Grandmother for their annual Easter egg hunt at Woodland Terrace!
 |
| Look at those handsome guys! |
 |
| Tommy getting his face painted! |
 |
| SPIDERMAN! |
 |
| Not sure if you can tell from the pic, but Ethan chose to have his face painted like.... a pumpkin--very Easter of him :P |
The boys had their own Easter egg project to do at Grandma's house--coloring and decorating eggs!
 |
| No trip to Grandma's is complete without a sneak attack from Granddaddy! |
 |
| Ethan is fleeing the scene...will he make it?!?! |
 |
| Not a chance! |
After all the fun Easter preparations,
the good ol' Easter bunny finally made his way to the Catchings house on Easter morning!
 |
| Happy Easter! |
 |
| Ohhhh how I hope this will continue!! |
 |
| Okay, this picture starts a series of just classic Ethan faces...the boy is hilarious and has no idea! |
 |
| The house favorite "Whatchutalkinbout Willis" face :D |
 |
| Easter Sunday at TCC :) |
 |
| It was bright out--you can't win 'em all! |
 |
| Grandma and her two favorite guys! |
 |
| Happy Easter from the Catchings family (party of 5 at this point!) |
 |
| Out of our Sunday's finest, it's time for boys to be boys.... |
 |
| He had no idea anyone was watching him from the window! |
 |
| Who doesn't like a good charcoal ash storm?! |
 |
| A new treat for the boys to play with at Grandma's--sandboxes!! |
 |
| As if they needed any further ways to get dirty!! |
 |
| Time for a bath after all of that dirt and sand! |
Taking advantage of some good biking weather! Ethan opted for a ride rather than riding ;)
And now for a little fun for Mommy and Daddy! Our good friend, Megan Danaher, was surprised by her Mom, sister, and myself for a 80's theme 30th birthday bash--it was totally radical!! ;)
 |
| So fun!! |
 |
| We all did our best to come dressed in an 80's theme, but Davey once again stole the show!! |
 |
| The birthday girl's little girl, Riley, with her parents--Keith and Marcia! |
 |
| Look at these hot dudes! |
And, the month comes to an end with our little furry (or, should I say grassy) friends needing a haircut!!
Bye-bye hair, and bye-bye April! But, before we go, there was one more important goodbye in this month....
