March went out like a lamb

Catching some rays

helping Daddy open his birthday gifts

Roy ran the Monument Avenue 10K last Saturday.  It was pretty, but chilly!  He did very well, finishing in just under 1 hour...especially considering he's been working so hard lately he really had no time to train for it.  This picture was taken at mile 5.5, and he was still smiling.  I would have been grimicing in pain by this point in the race. 

 

This race is so much fun, and they have a contest for people who dress up.  Could you imagine running 6.2 miles wearing one of these get-ups?  Hey, is that Tiger Woods in disguise?

Roy thought this was a snowcone, but it's actually the tornado from The Wizard of Oz!  Too funny!

Here are the boys before church on Palm Sunday. I was lucky to find matching springtime outfits that matches their hair.  Orange hair just doesn't look so good with cotton-candy aquamarine!

HA HA!

Come back Sam!

Ethan getting his blue stripe belt.  He's moving right up the ranks!!

welcome spring!

Everett LOVES playing house, and could open and close the mailbox a million times.

spring has sprung!

Everett loves playing with Ethan's little piano, and this was the first time I sat him on my piano bench to play mine.  He LOVED plinking on it, and is always mesmerized when I play for the boys.

I've been compelled recently to pull out all my beginner books and try to teach Ethan how to play piano.  Both of the boys seem to really enjoy music...we'll see...

I LOVE baby feet!

One Saturday, we had two friends' birthday parties going on at the same time.  We had responded to Grant first, so we ended up going to his party, but not before stopping by Ava's to give her her presents.  Grant's party was at the fire station. 

Everett really enjoyed checking out the fire engine.

Ethan's favorite was getting in the ambulance.

The kids got to knock a ball off a cone with the fire hose...

...and got to meet "Liberty" the rescue dog.

Can't you just feel the love?

It was so beautiful that day, we walked to the park.  The boys had a blast!

GOTCHA!

He'll be walking before we know it!

On the walk home, both boys fell asleep...Ethan in the stroller, and Everett in the backpack.  Looks comfy!

When Everett woke up, Roy took him on his first bike ride.  It was short-lived because he wouldn't keep the helmet on.  It's a bummer, because if he can't learn to keep it on, he won't be able to ride in this seat.  I guess we'll keep trying!

On March 21st, the church where Ethan goes to preschool had the kids go up front to sing some songs for the congregation.  Ethan did great!  We really enjoyed the service, and attended last Sunday as well. 

How precious is this?  He seems to be praying pretty hard!  Notice the little boy on the bottom left.  Kids are so cute, aren't they?
