April Summed Up

Kevin must have taken more pictures than I did in April.  Either that or it was one of those months when we were too busy living life to take pictures of it.  After Spring Break, here’s all I’ve got:

Bobby is adorable.  I’m biased, but he is.  I am trying to get as much overall wearage out of him as I can because once they fully potty train, I don’t get the overall love anymore.  He loves to play on the foot of our bed.  His foot slipped down before I snapped this picture, but he will just lay there on his belly playing with his cars.  I love it!

In my effort to date my sons, Billy and I went out in April.  His piano teacher had asked the students to attend a piano concert, so that’s where we went.  An accomplished faculty member at Weber State held a recital and Billy and I enjoyed the first half.

Then we left (it was a school night afterall) and talked to a scary goose by the pond and got ice cream from Jake’s Over the Top.  I love this boy!  He’s brave and smart and very cunning – only in the good sense, well, usually only in the good sense!

Our friends got baby chicks and the boys LOVED playing with them!

They were cute and fluffy and irresistible!

They almost made me want chickens … almost.  And then they pooped on Tommy and that feeling left.

All four of the boys had a chance to be the Mustang of the Month for their classes at school this year.  I don’t remember who was what month.  The school takes a big picture of all the kids and I just take a picture of that picture!  They get a certificate and get to eat lunch with the principal one day.  Rusty (front row, third from left) and Billy (farthest left in stripes) were in the same month.

Ricky (back row, second from left) was excited to be chosen.  He spent several years never getting this recognition so it meant a lot to him last year and again this year to be chosen.  This year it was his classmates who picked him, so that made it even neater!

Tommy was early in the year, last September I think, and I got to see his grin every time I walked down the hall all year long!

I was attempting to mow the lawn one day and realized it was taking FOREVER!  It seemed that the lawnmower was only cutting half as much as it should, but I kept going because the lawn needed care.  When Kevin got home he checked and, yep, there are supposed to be two blades running under my mower and one was missing!  He found it laying in the grass by the shed and had a little helper help him fix it up tight!

On a rainy day date, Kevin and I checked out our new library.  It is big and fancy and way more books than our old one had room for.  But Kevin’s favorite part?  Checking out the server room!  Geek!

We found this little guy running through our yard once or twice this spring.  We aren’t exactly sure what he is – almost a raccoon?  A ferret?  Weasel?   We aren’t exactly sure, but we did warn our neighbors with chickens about him!

And that’s all I have for April.  There you go!
