Thad and I were so blessed to have the opportunity to go to Europe. We went to meet up with our friend Johnny and visit places we had always dreamt of. It was so much fun! I posted a few pictures while we were away so family at home could see some of what we were seeing on our trip. My plan is to share our trip and pictures on the blog. So if this is interesting to you...stay tuned. If this does NOT interest you, then you may want to stay away for a couple of weeks. Boy, do I have tons of pictures to share. If I find that I can't get them all on here,then I will just post them on facebook.
I am so thankful that the kids did great while we were away. Even more thankful for the babysitters that took such good care of them;)

Spring is Here!!
Spring is here!!! It is so nice to have warmer weather, even if it is for only a few days. The flowers are blooming all around the house and it is so sweet to see Lauren take notice of them for the first time. I just can't convince her to just look at them and stop picking them!
The boys have been busy at the pond. They are catching fish and having a great time. I was so proud to watch Aaron get his pole ready, put on the bait, and catch a fish all by himself!! I told Thad that I will never have to take a fish off the hook again!!!
The boys have also been riding their bikes much of the time lately. I love to see all three of them taking off down the road together. A fun new chapter in their lives. No one left out but Lauren and she would rather hang with me anyway.
Baseball has begun and I can already tell that it is going to be VERY busy. Ethan is playing on the pitching machine league for the first time. I am very impressed that he is holding his own out there on the field with teammates that have played for years already. He hasn't batted from the pitching machine yet-we will do that this weekend. Aaron will be playing T-Ball and he is so excited that he is on the LSU team. That's what he wants to call it because the colors of his uniform are purple and gold. Life is good.
Brendan is going camping with a friend next weekend. Its hard to believe that he is that old already!!! I still want to be the one to do all of those fun things with him!!
Thad has been flying some and fishing some. I think he is enjoying his "down" time before the busy summer flying season begins. We are packing and working out last minute details for our trip to the urban jungle. In fact, my life IS working out details for four kids at home and I have neglected to take care of some of the trip details. Easter egg hunts, baseball games and practices, feeding, bathing, playing, homework. Yes, someone is gonna be busy and as much as I need to go on a trip, I'll be sad that I'm not the one doing all of those things for my kiddos ;)
I know, Moms, we aren't satisfied unless we can be tired and have a million things to do. I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything!!!!!!

Goofy Saturday Morning!
Ethan buckled himself in!
And ran from the camera!!
My favorite way to spend Saturday morning!
Is that camera close enough to your face Aaron???

Fun At School???
I think NOT!!! Aaron is not liking Kindergarten so much. He loves that he is learning to read but some of the tasks he is asked to do is just not that interesting and not that fun...
This is his handwriting paper from today. Notice all of the red marks;)
If you look closely at the note, he drew circles on his letters.
It took a minute for me to realize why he circled on his letters. He was correcting his mistakes, just like his teacher does. Look to see how great he is at recognizing his mistakes. If only those little 5 yr old hands could stay on the lines ;)
