Matthew & Michael's 3rd birthday

We celebrated Matt & Mike's birthday with family and friends. We started the day at Bread Co. of course with my friends from work and their kids & then headed to Tilies Park for the splash pad. Later that night we had a few friends and family over to sing to the boys. I can't believe that my boys are 3 years old.

New favorite picture

I know it has been a while and I swear that I will catch up with all my post but I this is one of my new favorite pictures.

DyeIng EaSter EgGs!!

Friday 4/22/2011 daycare was closed and I was off work. I spent the entire day with the kids and was able to get a lot of things done around the house. They were so good. Matt and Mike actually took naps in their bed. I was happy about that. We dyed eggs when they woke up and then they went straight into the bathtub to get the dye off their hands. Danny had it the worst. They had a good time.

Since he didn't have the tool to get it out his hands worked great.

Cheese!...That his favorite word besides 'NO'

Michael

He was really good at using the tool. They need to put more than one in a box.

Matt was trying to be so clean

His hands were more pink than the eggs

Danny always so happy to make a mess

Danny tried stealing all the eggs.

Playing at the Park!

Michael is always too busy having fun. He does like to always look at the camera

Danny boy...always saying 'cheese'

Matt-man

Christopher James, before he took his tumble.

Needless to say the boys still don't like the Easter Bunny!

Cardinals Game with Matt & Mike

Tuesday 4/5/2011, I took Matt and Mike to their 1st Cardinals game of the season. Since my school will be singing the National Anthem this coming August they offered us free tickets for Monday and Tuesday night. I took Tuesday night because I knew family would be there with season tickets. I bought the boys new CaRDinaL shirts for the game. When I picked them up from daycare they were so to have new shirts and to be going to the game. Lisa came over around 6:30 to babysit Danny and Chris til Kelly was able to get there.

The back of their new shirts. (Michael) They can also tell you that it is the number 5!

When we got to the game the boys were so amazed. They were so good and had so much fun. They played a lot with Uncle Ken watching him throw peanuts up in the air and catch them in his mouth. It was the coolest thing to them. They even started to help Uncle Ken crack open the shell to get the peanut out first. They are really smart. When we noticed what they were doing it was a little to late, Ken had already eaten a few. They would both set the peanut on the ground, step on it a little until it cracked and then they would pick it up and give Ken the peanut that was inside.

He had to catch that one with his hand

Eating and Playing at the game

We only had to use the restroom 3 times during the game, NOT to bad....but the third time we went was right when we got back from the second time. Matt had to go poop...Really he couldn't tell me that when we were in there. Of course he didn't go. We won the game 3-2 and watched the fireworks at the end. Matt and Mike liked them this year. Last year they were really scared.

We did get their kids crew card stamped and they received their Ryan Franklin duffle bag, wrist bands, lanyard, bobble head tooth brush holder and other things. Matt loved the wrist bands especially when Uncle Ken put some change in the zipper pouch for him. It was a great time, I am so glad it is CaRdiNaL season again.

Me and My big boys enjoying the cardinal game. Micheal was being silly! (his favorite word)

Matt calling Grandma

Every morning the first thing that comes out of boys mouths is, "Where's Grandma, Grandma's keys." Mike is usually the one that wants the keys but they all ask for her. So Matt wanted to call her yesteday. I think they see her as much as they see me. It is really cute. Enjoy the video

Niagara Falls, Canada

I took a trip with some family members to see Pearl Heart in Canada. We left early Saturday morning 3/5/2011 and arrived around 3 p.m. We got to the Hilton around 5 and started to get ready for Jeffrey Steele. We at dinner and then went to the show, it started it at 9 and the first time at 11:30 p.m. Then he had a 30 min encore!!!!! We we all really tired but it ws a great show. Sunday we went to the falls and took a lot of pictures. It was beautiful and I can't wait to see it again sometime when the weather is warmer. We went to see Pearl Heart's show and it was amazing. After the show we went shopping a little and the to the pub with Pearl Heart and their friends from the band and show. After talking with them for about 2-3 hours we then invited them back to our room to play dice. It was a lot of fun, everyone was so friendly. I was really tired so I didn't play all night long like everyone else. We left on Monday and had 2 great flights home. I missed my boys a lot. I bought them all a back pack from Canada. I know Matt really likes his, Mike said in a whiny voice, " I don't want a back pack." Danny and Chris are still too young. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
