Creighton vs. Nebraska

Before the game the Pharmacy School had a free Hamburger/Hot dog BBQ dinner. So we all went as a family. Out of Andrew's whole class I think only 4 or 5 out of the 100+ have kids. And of course we are the only ones to show up with ours. There was an open bar there so they where asking everyone that went in for ID. At the gate they looked at us and asked us if we would be drinking. With our two kids and my already way to big belly, the question seemed a little ridiculous. The crowd looked and gave a chuckle at what they thought was absurd too. I said Benson would take two. They guy quickly replied, "I have to ask." Now that we had almost every one's attention, we quickly got our food and went inside to eat.

Benson wouldn't last through even half of a game so I took him home and Andrew and Tanner went on in to the game for some father son bonding. I told Tanner to take lots of pictures for me. As soon as I said it I knew it was a mistake. When they got home I asked Tanner about the pictures. He seemed disappointed and said he only got two. (I thought that's odd, he usually snaps a hundred.) So Tanner went on to tell me he gave the mascot Blue Jay high five twice and got only two picture... of the bird, NOT THE GAME. I got the camera and saw the two pictures of the bird and went through 32 other pictures of the game.

He did not disappoint, I knew he would take a TON of pictures.... almost all within minutes! I love you Tanner. I am glad you had a fun night out with dad!

They didn't stay for the whole game. But Creighton won 8 to 5! GO JAYS!!!

Wonderful spring!

Tulips!

I love the few tulips that have blossomed in our flower bed!

The boys don't waste any time making outside their new home. I love the GREAT weather we've been getting but hate that I get nothing done INSIDE the house. Baths are a must almost every night with these kids now sometimes two !

Expecting!!

That's right we are expecting baby #3! I will find out what the sex is at the end of next week. So anyone care to guess what is kicking around in my belly??? Check back in a couple weeks to see! Don't forget to make your guess on the poll to the right!

The Garden's

They have finally started setting up the little trains at the Garden's after having them down all winter. Benson is never going to let me get a decent walk there as long as they are running. Tanner really enjoys them still too, but he is much easier to pull away.

Tanner loves playing in this "Fort kids house".

The 3 Musketeers is always a good game here! Just ask him!

Tanner and dad racing ahead of us!

Girls!!!

That's right! We have girls lining up at our door step for our boys already.... or maybe they just wanted the food my boys were eating. But for my cute boys sakes we'll say it was for them!

Let's go fly a kite!- 4/9

Tanner is always pretty good at the grocery store, but we had to pick out a birthday present for one of his friends and so he was getting kind of bummed looking at all the toys that he couldn't have. He spotted a kite and asked if for his birthday he could get it. I looked and saw it was only a $1.oo. So I told him if he was good through out the rest of our shopping I would buy it now. He was so excited. I didn't think it would work very good being a $1. But I recommend Wal-marts $1 kites to anyone. It was great! When we got home we found out his friend had the same kite so the flew them together!

I had to lay on the ground to get this awesome shot! ;)

School break for dad!

Andrew got a four day weekend for Easter so we of course went to the zoo... again! Sorry for all the zoo pictures but we love it and that's all we do! :) We tried to see some of the animals we hadn't seen in a while, and the boys like it more with dad anyway.

Easter DAY!

This picture should go after all the other pictures, but Tanner thought it would be cool to plant grass through out all the house... and I mean THROUGHOUT!

The Easter Bunny hopped through our house without us even knowing it!
Tanner and Benson both got a basket with goodies!

After the boys got their baskets we had our own Easter egg hunt outside by our house. Tanner wanted us to keep hiding them in HARDER places. Because we were hiding them to easy! :)

Had to jump for that one!

Easter weekend

This year I was in charge of the VG Annual Easter Egg Hunt. I bought a $100 worth of candy (not out of my pocket thank goodness) and stuffed I don't know how many eggs with the help of Tanner and friend Kjersta. We then COVERED the big playground of our complex with colorful eggs and candy. This picture shows about 1/2 of the playground itself. Afterwards I had a few crafts so I never really got any good pictures of the kids. I was always busy doing something. I thought Tanner would be bummed I wasn't helping him. But I think he had more fun helping hide the eggs then anything else. It turned out pretty good I think!

Coloring eggs. Tanner colored 18 boiled and I colored 18 raw... just because it was fun to color them. Only 4 eggs total dropped! :) Benson helped a little bit too!

Andrew's Birthday!

The house ready for him to arrive home!
Kids that couldn't wait until that night to eat a cupcake!

Finally home from school! Bust in!!

I think the boys were more excited than Andrew was!

That's right 29 years old!!

Make a wish and blow!

I hate being messy!

Poser!

Happy Birthday Andrew! You really aren't that old... maybe next year though! :) I love you and hope we made the day fun for you. You are a great dad and husband. You work so hard and we are so grateful of all you have done for us.

We love DAD! - 3/28

Boys before church
I think they had more fun with the eggs they found then what was inside them. Andrew had the kids going crazy acting like a bug with CRAZY eyes. The kids couldn't get enough of dad's weird behavior! It was so funny to watch!

Hyper much!

Now we are spent!
