Hit the Ball... Drag the Bag

My dad used to say, "that's the name of the game: hit the ball, drag the bag."  For mother's day I requested a family bike ride and golf.  The boys love their little bags, and seriously, isn't it just cuteness to see the little shoulder straps on them?

Happy Mothers' Day to me: they like golfing and biking, too.

Friends

Jonathan was invited to a friend's birthday party... pirate fun was had by all!

Our school had a road race and we met several friends there to run in the rainy, COLD race.  Another mother and I helped with the course directing and while I was course directing... our boys got spray painted hair :+)

Cousins.  All kinds of fun.

Our new pet, Lizzie

I'm not so much of an animal lover, but the little furry creatures are growing on me.  It has been mentioned before that Jonathan loves animals.  Caleb likes them, too.  They've been hoping and hoping for a pet, so we got a guinea pig.  She's actually quite a gem of a pet.  She likes to be held, she doesn't bite, she resides in her cage unless being held and she poops inside the cage.  An all around gem of a pet.

 Two very happy little boys

Photo Dump

It snowed at the end of April.  That's some craziness for here.  The only fun we had with the last snowfall was when it was melting... see the attempt at dam construction below.
