Spring has Sprung, April 2014

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....
