The week began with Kindergarten Roundup. It's always so much fun to see their excited little faces and show them that school isn't as scary as they think! Tuesday Jamie (my college roommate...who's now my co-worker) invited Zane and I to a Royal's game with her. They were playing the Indians (Uncle Brent's team) and we got to see the Royals win! It sure was cold...we felt like we were heading to a Chiefs game instead...but the company made it worth the cold heineys! It was too cute to see Zane following Ethan around and doing everything he did!

When we got there, the guy who scanned our tickets noticed Ethan's glove and put a baseball in there...of course Zane didn't understand why he didn't get one, so I told him he could try to catch a foul ball. Lucky that we are...no ball even came close all night! So...later on they headed down close to the dugout, hoping for a ball to be thrown to them...and some other kids saw them and said, "we'll get you a ball..." They held true to their promise and got them one...and sweet Ethan gave the one he got at the gate to Zane. His response was, "Oh, it's a special ball!" That made his night!

| They wanted to get a game ball SO BADLY! |

| Zane literally fell asleep 5 minutes after we left! |
Mason's been having lots more accidents - both wet and dirty - the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's frustrating! He did so well for such a long time! So we've been trying to pay closer attention and watch for signs. He seems to do better for Jo than us...probably due to the fact that when there he's always on such a schedule, and when at home it's hit or miss depending on what we have going on. We're working on it!

| Erika was putting barrettes in all of the boys' hair! |
Thursday Jo had an egg hunt at her house. They also dyed eggs. What great memories for the kids!
 |
| Waiting...waiting...to go out and get those eggs! Can't you just hear them plotting? |
 |
| Go get the eggs and stop posing! HA! |
 |
| Jo's kids...(L-R) - Lawson, Vaughn, Madelyn, Sam, Braeden, Mason, Nora, Ryan |
 |
| Checking out the goods... |
 |
| Look at the concentration on that face... |
All four of us had Friday off...that never happens! Matt's so busy at work he probably should have gone in for awhile, but we decided that since we never all have the same day off...we spent it together instead! So we did a few errands, had some lunch, then headed to Iowa quite a bit earlier than normal! After getting there, we went out to eat. Then on Saturday we hung out at Craig & Keeta's house. Saturday night was the Bunch Easter. The boys had fun playing with their cousins!

 |
| My dad took Mason to the bathroom...he came out with his shirt tucked in and looked like a dork! HA! |
 |
| This innertube was a popular toy... |
 |
| Silly Zane |
 |
| Mason & Ella jumping rope... |
 |
| Safe? Well, there wasn't an accident...so it worked out! |
Sunday morning the boys awoke to candy hidden in Grandma's kitchen and a basket full of toys! The Easter Bunny sure knows how to spoil them!!
 |
| Eggs, eggs, everywhere! |
 |

 |
| MORE EGGS! |
We didn't have an "official" Easter dinner Sunday, just regular Sunday dinner at Jack and Kim's house. It was great! I got to cuddle baby Corbyn a few times, so that was nice! It's easy to forget just how little newborn babies are! I think the boys had fun playing there. I hope Jakob doesn't find too many toys out of place! :o) Looking forward to having everyone around this coming weekend to have our "official" Easter!
