Mother's Day

This year Ben was very brave.  He let the boys make me a homemade cake pretty much all by themselves.  He pre-measured all the ingredients out and let Lucas go get them from the table and add them to be mixed.  Here are some good shots Ben got of them making it :)

Finished product with Mommy!! It sure was yummy!

 

All of the kids and Tom got Ben's mom a new glider for Mother's Day.  We ordered it here since we were celebrating over at our house this year.  I wrapped the big box in grocery bags and let the boys do the decorating.  I was hoping that it would provide an extended period of coloring.  But not so much.  They did color on the box for a couple of days though!

Lucas wrote a message for all the Mommy's out there on Mother's Day all by himself.  He is really into learning to write his letters right now on the chalkboard.  Way to go Little Man!

Cousin Weekend

Last weekend the boys got lots of Ohio cousin time (we always wish our other 6 were a lot closer!!)  On Saturday Ben and I took Josh and Sarah with the boys to the Wright Patt Air Force Museum.  All of the kiddos had lots of fun looking at all the planes

group shot :) 

They were pretending to be rocket ships and "blasting off" or so it at least seemed! 

Pizza for dinner! Woo Hoo! As you can tell Adam was way more focused on the pizza than the picture! 

Sunday was Sarah's 1st Communion Day.  

With her aunts and uncles that could make it!

God Daughter/ God Father photo!
