Brian & Mary Beth's Wedding

My Daddy's Smart

When we ask Alex what this shirt says, that is his response, "My daddy is smart". Tim tries to get him to read it correctly, but this is his translation!

Cioci Mary Beth's Rehearsal

Mary Beth's wedding weekend was so much fun! Unfortunately I don't have a lot of pictures of the wedding day, I did happen to snap these of the boys at the church, Friday night! Hopefully someone (Uncle Bob) - will post some pictures soon :) Alex sat in church the entire rehearsal like a little angel and thankfully Evan slept a little. Evan definitely was a piece of work by the time it was over. Both boys refusing to take their normal nap = poor Friday night babysitter!

It's warm enough for the Zoo!

We went to the zoo with the Reckman's for the first time this season. Alex has been asking to go every day since last fall. No joke, pretty much everyday when I pick him from Mary's - he asks me if it is time to go to the zoo. They still love it! Evan definitely appreciated it more this year!

Playing in the Dirt

The boys really enjoyed digging in the dirt, but now, Tim has the mulch down and they aren't allowed to play in it! We will have to get them some sand to play with like Jonathan has!

Easter Egg Hunt

Babci planned a special Easter Egg Hunt just for Alex in our backyard. He found them all! Poor little Evan just watched and then helped open them!

Easter Sunday

Coloring Easter Eggs

After Keeneland, we decided to color Easter Eggs. He didn't really get the concept of letting them sit in the solution for awhile and liked to dip them in several colors... What a mess!

Keeneland with kids

We made our first trip to Keeneland with the boys for Krista's big tailgate! We were really nervous about the weather, but it turned out to be a nice day! The boys loved all of the attention and watching the horses! I was super-impressed that they lasted until about 4pm!

Alex the Bunny

Alex made this hat at Mary's - he liked being the "Bunny".

Eating Pop-a-sicles

Alex and Evan love their Popsicles. Christie gave us the great idea of freezing the Go-gurts! At least they both sit down nicely when they are eating them...

Evan, fine - I will hold you!

Evan is going through a stage, where he wants to be held constantly, but I can't get anything done - so I pulled out the backpack carrier and tried it out - he loves it! He stops crying instantly when I put him in this and then he just lays his head down on my back and rests - so cute! (Excuse my appearance - just got home from running a 15K and Alex won't let me wear my hair in a ponytail anymore)!

Jonathan's 2nd Birthday Party!

The birthday boy!


Alex & Evan loved Jonathan's new birthday present - a sand table!



Especially Evan - he ate a lot of sand yesterday...

All the kids loved it!

Brad & Holly had a cookout for Jonathan's 2nd birthday - we had a great time!

Alex & Evan at the park

So into his big brother (reminds me of a video of Tim and his brother)


Smiling for me!!!


Where did the Easter bunny go?

More pictures from the park yesterday! Can't believe that we got them to sit still long enough to take these...

My Little Monsters!

This is a good shot of Evan's chipped tooth! My little redneck :)

They sure are cute, but they are rotten!

Swinging at the park

This was the first time Evan was on the swings - he really liked it! Alex actually was able to get on the regular swing too by himself and held on really well, didn't get a picture of that though.
