FUN FACT:  Every time the boys do something good I always say "Mama is so proud.  Good job!"  So now, every time Trev uses the potty...when he is done he will 1) Do the potty dance 2) Say "goo job.  Mama so poud!"

Spring concert and friends

 Ry had a spring concert at his preschool.  It was flippin' adorable, but I couldn't get a good picture to save my life!  He was always blocked by some tall kid or a puppet from the music teacher.  Plus, I was trying to make sure Trevin didn't fall off the table he was standing on...

 Best shot I got...where's Waldo?

 After the show..

 Ryden's friend Koa and his sister Nila came over to play after the show.  Nila fits right in with the boys.  And the three had fun while Trevin was passed out.

 When Trev finally woke up, he played skateboards rather nicely with his new homegirl Nila.

 And then they moved onto bubbles in the backyard.  

 Nila and Trev got along rather nicely as you can see.....

Whoa doggies...

 All kids love the ramps Jason bought...because they are used as slides

 We like our new friends....

More Tucson...PT Patii's camera

The whole time while I am around my mom, I spend it competing with her for the perfect picture.  She is a pro.  I follow on her coat tails and pretty much take the same pictures she does.  But she is good...real good...so I always make her give me copies of all her photos.  So here are several from photographer PT Patti.

 El Minuto!  One of my fav mexican restaurants we used to frequent as kids

 Mom is famous for getting a picture every time we are eating

 ...and pretty much every outfit I wear

 Emma and her best bud

One of our many cactus walks

 Eating again!  Ry always had to sit by his cousins.  I was chopped liver

 But Emma was always willing to sit by Aunt Amy (and Trevin too...when I had ice cream)

 Friend picture (another shot Ma is good at)

 Friends since elementary school

 Every time we are in Tucson....all we do is eat!

 Papa and his best bud

 The boys doing boy things

 While camping...Ryden insisted on climbing to the roof of the RV.  We used to do this all the time as kids on my grandparents RV.  Watching my kids do it gave me a slight heart attack!

 There is nothing cooler than taking a bath in the RV...except maybe using the RV potty

Morning stroll turned into Gone With The Wind!  It was a tad windy

 Bust a move

 Love this one:

 Bright and early the morning we left.  No makeup and bed head.

 Thanks for the pics Ma & Pa...so much fun!

FUN FACT:  Ryden told me the other day "Dada is the boss.  Mama...you are just the pretend boss".  Ohhhh realllyyy???

FUN FACT:

I know I always talk about Ryden and his friend Ava...but here is another story.  Every week, his preschool teacher sends out emails and she will include 'chit chat' from the class..funny things the kids say.  Ryden was on this weeks chit chat:

Lunch time talking to Ms. Brett: 
Ryden: Ava was my first girlfriend.
Ava: Ryden was my first boyfriend.
Josh comes over and says Ryden likes Ava, and even she is a girl...
Josh: I like Emma and she's a girl too.
Ryden: Yeah that's okay.
When me and Ava get older, we are going to get in love.. (so cute..)

Ay..yi..yi

Happy Easter

Grandma came to visit for Easter and we put her to work painting eggs.  My friend told me that shaving cream and food coloring does a good job dying the eggs...so we tried that (didn't end up working so well..)

We ended up only dying six real eggs and did plastic ones for the rest...

 The next day the kids were so excited to get their Easter baskets (which the Easter bunny had left in their room).  I didn't get a picture of them opening because we were still sleeping downstairs.  But soon, it was time for the egg hunt!

 ...and they are off!  

 I think one of the neighbors lost this basketball over in our yard.  Ry thought the Easter bunny had left this and it was the highlight of the hunt!

 Trev just liked to shake the eggs.

 All the loot...

  The boys took their baskets inside to inspect what was inside all of the eggs. 

 A $20 bill!  A $20 bill! (really Easter bunny?)

And lots and lots of candy

 Dada being silly

 Givin' the dogs some love

 Then it was back outside to play with some of the Easter basket goodies...which included a small bubble blower..Trev loved this!  Best $2 the Easter bunny ever spent

 Ry watched with his 'new/old' basketball..and homeboy Ozzy

 Bubble glasses!!

 Then....he discovered that when he put his finger on the blowing fan part it made a cool toot sound.  And that was even more fun

 "nobody will throw my ball?"

 Then Dada came over and started karate chopping all of the bubbles.  The entertainment never ends...

 Happy Easter!
