Catching up (again)

I never seem to have the energy lately to get my blog updated! Too many projects, too many activities~ not enough time! So I'll tell you all a little of what we've been up to this last month. Colby competed in his first pinewood derby~ yay! I love the scout group he's joined here in the new neighborhood, such a great group of people... Derby day came and Clint happened to be in the front yard when a neighbor dad (who Clint grew up with) stopped in the road and yelled "T- minus 2 hours till race time!" haha, it took Clint a second to realize he was talking about the derby race.... for the kids! :) Who are they kidding? We all know the pinewood derby is more for the dads....
I rest my case.... 4 adults to one kid.... and doesn't that poor kid look like he'd LOVE to get his hands on a car? :)
Sadly Colby didn't win, but had a great time during the hour anyways.

This is Colby's new smile lately.... for some reason he loves showing off his two front teeth by putting his bottom lip up into the empty space on either side of the teeth. sigh Gotta love him....

Ok, I know this whole post seems to be about Colby~ what a lucky month for him...! We celebrated his 9th birthday. What a grown up he's becoming... He had a party at the house, after seeing his brothers have theirs he couldn't be left out! Also, notice the hat Colby got from his big brother for his birthday.... he hasn't taken it off since!

They had a lot of fun playing kickball and capture the flag. My wonderful husband was once again in charge of entertainment~ such lucky boys, to have a dad who WANTS to go and play with them and their friends! All 3 of my boys thought their birthday parties this year at our house was better than going somewhere. I'm very grateful for this.

On to Easter! We had a great one~ my diet suffered from all the great bar-b-ques and candy so lets not even go there......We went to our friends for a Saturday Easter party and of course an egg hunt~ here's the kids waiting for eggs to be hidden.

Had a morning egg hunt at Grandma's work, baby Kensley joined in for her first egg hunt. Of course Grandma had to show her off to everyone first.

Colored eggs at home with cousin Rachel.

Then had another bar-b-que at our house on Sunday! Whew!! In between everything we've been doing a lot of yard work everyday the sun is shining... which haven't been many in between the rain and snowstorms. Can you believe this spring weather?? Every time I'm enjoying the great sunshine, a storm rolls in.. Uggh!
Oh well, at least we get to hang out in our jammies when it's awful weather outside! Here's Colby, A.J and Kensley hanging out watching a movie together while we got to babysit one day. And there's Colby STILL with that darn hat on! I'm not sure if he would love it as much as he does if it wasn't a gift from his great brother, Hunter.... tender little moments~ now back to work!
