Beach day

Today we went to Goose Spit for a hot dog roast and a play on the beach. It was so nice out. Both boys ended up in the water ... of course!

Easter

I didn't take many pictures on Easter morning because I was still half asleep! But, the boys had fun finding the eggs around the house. Hunter was really happy to find his own personal fishing rod in his Easter basket and Grady was pleased with his new mini hockey stick. 

Auntie Heather and Brad also put on an awesome Easter egg hunt for the kids (and adults!). Grady was able to read the scavenger hunt clues and the kids all loved running from place to place. 

Finally, Auntie Heather's birthday fell on Easter day this year, so we had a really nice dinner with everyone together.

Overnight at Grandma and Papa's

Grandma Liz and Papa Dave have had Grady and Hunter for a sleepover two weekends in a row now. Last weekend was for Heather's bachelorette party and this weekend was so Sandy and I could celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. 

It's only the 2nd and 3rd time I've been away from Hunter overnight but he did great with his grandparents. They had lots of special activities planned. Thank you Grandma and Papa!!

Movie cuddles with Grandma.

Rosewall creek with Grandma RonaLee

Grandma RonaLee came to visit for a few nights. Today we all went for a hike at Rosewall creek. It was a bit rainy, but beautiful in the forest. 

Comparison shots

Grandma Liz sent home some old pictures of me today. The resemblance to the boys is hilarious.

Grady's report card

It says that he is fully meeting all grade level expectations and puts in a good effort in the classroom.  

And, his new Lego book from the school book order finally came today. He's been waiting for it so was pretty excited that it arrived. 

After school today

We were lucky to catch a break in the weather for our walk after school today. 

Family game night

Our first attempt at scrabble with Grady. It was pretty funny. He just completed the spelling program for his class, but he had some creative words for the game!
