The Easter Bunny seems to get smaller each year!
Wait! We are just getting bigger!
Mr. Mike from across the street grows his own carrots!
He let us put them out for the Easter Bunny!
On Easter, we had an egg hunt out front...
And Ryan took a short break to eat candy! Ha ha!
We had a nice relaxing Easter!
Evan was a Greek God at school!
He is the one who walks on stage...
He also got to announce the C.A.R.E Drawing. It's a big deal! ;)
Good job Evan!
Speaking of good...good pull Ryan!!!
Another one!
Here is Ryan on the mound! K#1...
K#2...
K#3! 3 up...3 down! Whoot whoot!
Ryan's big event at school was planned by myself and these other fine ladies/Mom's!
There was an Arctic Table...
An African Savannah Table...
And a Rainforest Table!
Ryan was a Rhino...
From the African Savannah!
And a cute little Rhino at that!
Evan and his buddy Quinn rooted Ryan and his friends on from the audience!
He did a wonderful job on stage!
We love our Rhino!!!
Speaking of love, our sweet Evan was turning 10...
So we were able to celebrate his special day at school with his teacher and friends!
That night we were able to to Buddy up with a Special Needs baseball team!
Evan did some announcing when the kids came up to bat...
And Ryan helped his Buddy around the bases!
The following day, our little Stars had a game of their own to play!
Base Hit Ryguy!!
Beat it Out!
Good hustle Ryan!
The decor for the boys' school fundraiser was my responsibility this year!
I even borrowed things from our house and took them to the hotel for added "punch"!
It took all year to plan...
And a lot of work to pull off!
I am grateful for the wonderful parents and friends who helped out!
Besides the ballroom, there was a silent auction room...
Which turned out nicely as well!
The theme was Midsummer Nights...so a smore' favor was at each place setting.
The tag read "YOUR GENEROSTIY MEANS S'MORE THAN YOU KNOW!"
The luminaries lined the path to the front door...time for the festivities!
This arch was borrowed from our florist.
The last time Freddy and I stood under it was during our 10 year vow renewal!
These were the wonderful women who put the event together!
Evan's teacher photo bombed! Ha ha!
The 19th was Evan's actual birthday! He got a Lego Table for his room!
He looks so much like Daddy!
We took a few minutes that morning to look back on the day Evan came into our lives!
One of his gifts was a pair of adventure shoes...
And they fit like a glove...
So we took them out for a test drive!
I love my boys!
Mr. Adventure walked on water! Wow!
After we worked up a sweat...
Froyo was next on the agenda...
And after a shower...
A Teppanyaki Dinner wrapped up Evan's day!
I can't believe I've already been a Mommy for a decade!
Evan had a field trip to Taliesin West. It's a Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Scottsdale.
He took a picture of the pool...
Then took a picture of the same pool...but the Lego version!
Evan and Quinn were on top of the world!
Evan decided on a Minecraft Sleepover for his party this year!
Each boy took home pixel sunglasses and a Creeper favor bag of goodies...
The decor was fun to put together!
We had a food table...
And a dessert table...
There were Enderman leading everyone into the playroom...
Where the boys would sleep...
And torches hung in the playroom like in the game.
We had pin the tail on the pig and snacks outside for the boys...
And new pool noodles and beach balls for them to play with!
Before we knew it...
Everything was ready to go!
Including the pixelated windows...
And the games!
Once the birthday boy was home from school...
We took some pictures...
And waited patiently for friends to arrive!
Of course Ryan had to sample the food before everyone else!
Ok...
Time to PARTY!
After the boys ate and played games...
It was swimming time!
Before we knew it, it was time for pajamas...
And cake! Phew! Party done...and April too!
