EASTER!

Some pics of Easter weekend spent at my parent's house in Midland!

Leanna, The Queen of Cakes, made this cake for Easter.  I can't seem to flip the pic so you gonna have to flip your head.

Boys getting ready to decorate

Grandma showing 'em how it's done.  She's the pro!

We dipped Eric in yellow dye and this is how he turned out.

Forget using the tool, use your hands!

Jeffrey being careful

Perfection!

CHEESE

Hold the egg holder and use your hands.

Not sure why "the face" but for some reason he is giving it to me.

Didn't get too dirty.

Are you looking at me? Are you looking at me? You must be looking at me because I'm the only one here.

Decorating done, let's hunt!

One more pic with the grandparents

Did we get 'em all?

What about Jeffrey?

I can't believe I haven't posted too much of Jeffrey's stuff!  Anyway, he has been playing Little Dribblers basketball and here are a couple of pics for you to enjoy.

Tip-off! (unfortunately we didn't get the tip)

Jeffrey is a defensive machine. I'm not lying.  His offense....well....that is just a time that he isn't on defense.  In fact, in his last game he was guarding one of his friends so well that the kid stopped dribbling and shoved Jeffrey and yelled, "STOP IT!" It made Jeffrey's parent's proud.

GO RAIDERS!

Game 2

Joel playing 3rd base and being pestered by a big blue bug that kept circling around him.

1st base and heading to second.

Looking to score from 3rd.  (what happened to 2nd?)

You make the call! Did he touch Home Plate or not?  The answer after this commercial break.

He did, this picture was taken a moment after his back foot came off the plate.

They don't give you chaw till you get to the bigs, until then we chew double bubble.

This groundhog was just outside the fence behind homeplate.  He was not afraid of anything.  A kid tried whacking him with a bat.  He was successful only at annoying us and kicking up dirt.

Easter at school?!

Joel's class hunting eggs at school.  I should point out that some of these kids are in kindergarten.  This is a mix of Joel's Pre-K class and the Kindergarten class.  The weather was awesome.  I think it hit 90.

Joel concentrating

Ah...nothing says Easter like filling up a hole in Spiderman's head! 

(someone needs to tell this kid it is Easter not Halloween!)

Joel's buddy Trent. 

How can you say "no" to this face?

Jeffrey and his buddies Lane (left) Brent (right)

Joel and Trent playing quietly (notice destruction of room)

Poor kids ain't got nothin' to play with.

T-ball action!

Some current video!  Here is Joel's first game.  A clump of a hit, some fielding action and another hit.

Christmas on the Pecos

More Christmas video for you.  This is a brief look at Christmas on the Pecos.  Every year in Carlsbad NM, you can ride in a boat down the Pecos River looking at these massive houses that have been decorated for Christmas.  The boys really had a great time!
