Kyle and I waited at the trailer while the other boys tried it out. Unfortunately, the 4 wheeler is already back in the shop visiting the dirt bike. We hope to have them both out soon.

Easter Snacks...
It would have been so much easier to go to United and buy a box of cookies for $2. Instead, I spent who knows how much and this is what I ended up with...
I saw these little guys on a site I have been following for some time now. Bakerella made the cake pops look fun and easy. Fun... yes. But easy...I am not so sure. I started off with grand plans of several shapes and many details, but I ended up with one shape with no details. Sorry Riley. After I finished and I sat back to admire all my hard work, I noticed something troubling. Several of the little boogers had cracks in them. I am not sure why I had cracks, but I hope when I wake in the morning that there will not be more cracks in the chocolate outer shell. Regardless of details and cracks in the shell, I am sure they will be a hit in Riley's Kindergarten class!

Bet Your Bottom Dollar...
Guess what we went to see on Saturday in Lubbock.... Annie! I took Jacob and Riley, along with a friend to see the Broadway show in Lubbock. The boys loved it and we have been singing the songs all day today. Jacob sat with my Dad and I did not get a picture of him, but here is Riley with his friends, Tobin and Addyson.
The boys think that "bottom" is a funny word because it is the word I use to describe their back side. Every time they hear Bet Your Bottom Dollar they giggle and think it is so funny. I have tried to explain to them the meaning of the song, but they can't stop giggling to hear me.
Next year Wizard of Oz is coming... I hope I can take the boys to that one, too.

One Used High Chair
I recently made the mistake of putting Kyle at the table in a booster, instead of his high chair. He loved it and will not sit in the high chair anymore. It is one of those "Mom Moments" when you **sniff sniff** realize he is growing up. There is the moment of yeah... another milestone and then the oh no... another milestone. Our big boy sitting at the table...
It is ok that Kyle does not need it anymore, but can I get rid of it? Kelly's best bud gave it to us when we were expecting our first and I have had it for all three of my babies to use. I am usually not the sentimental type, but it is a little sad to pack up the chair.
In other news... Kyle had his 15 month check up before we headed to Myrtle Beach and everything went great. He is in the 75% in height and weight. I think that Kyle is a little smaller than his brothers were at this age. Kyle is still not talking much, but the doctor did not seem to worry.

MYRTLE BEACH 2009
We had a FANTASTIC week in Myrtle Beach!!! It was so much fun catching up and getting to see the sites of the city. Sunday evening, they had baby sitters lined up for the kids and the adults had a night out. We went to a Brazilian Steakhouse and it was wonderful. (No, we did not plan on being color coordinated.)
After dinner, the boys jammed on the drums.
The "big man" with his dad.
Monday was rainy and cool, so we went to Chick Fil A for lunch to let the kids run off some energy.
Monday night we saw the Dixie Stampede. I think this was the boys favorite part of the trip.
Tuesday we hit Margaritaville and Magiquest at Broadway at the Beach.
Wednesday, we left Juli to take care of some business and we headed up to Johnny Rockets and Alligator Adventure. The boys touched a baby alligator and big snake. Kyle liked the alligators.
Thursday was beach day. The weather was beautiful and the water was not too cold. We played on the beach most of the afternoon and then headed over to the Nascar Speedpark. The boys were cautious drivers, but they had fun.
Friday morning we enjoyed Krispy Kreme.
After lunch at Salsaritas, we headed to Charleston.
We enjoyed our vacation so much and did not want to come home.
Kelly and I met my cousin, Courtney, and her family in Charleston for dinner. We ate at Hyman's and walked around downtown Charleston for a quick tour.
Saturday morning, we flew out of Charleston. The boys thought it was cool to walk out to the airplane at Charleston.
