Easter and other March things

Wow, I'm not so good at keeping this blog current. The boys had a great Easter as did we. We had lots of family over for Easter afternoon/evening. Tons of food and better yet - lots of desserts and candy. The boys are still sneaking candy all hours of the day and night. I am actually eating spilled skittles as I type - yes they were just laying here on the computer desk - ooh there's a pack of nerds should I need more sugar. I am out of sorts having been off work for Spring Break am going back tomorrow. I got some great news... I'm able to take the whole summer off! I have the best job ever (aside from my full-time job of motherhood).

March is definitely "in like a lion" around here. Coach-pitch and t-ball are in full swing with practices/games almost 5 nights a week and Saturdays. We'll see how I handle this. I have already given Cara an earful of my coach-pitch concerns (2-hour practices 2x a week, 2 games a week, somewhat competitive dads practicing with the kids including one dad who made his son do push-ups when he missed a catch). This could get Friday Night Lights scarry - ha ha. Anyway, I can't keep my mouth shut so I'll be talking with all the moms soon and get more scoop on if this is really what I want for Matthew. So far he is very happy and enjoys practice. I am a little down because I will miss both of their first games Saturday. My dearest and bestest friend in the whole wide world will bury her baby brother, Ed, Saturday and I will spend the day with her and her family. He was 29 and fought hard, and we all prayed hard but in the end his body just couldn't go on anymore and God's will was to take him peacefully on Good Friday. Please keep Erica, her mom, dad, and family in your prayers.

Lego Mania

Matthew is a huge lego fan. He has been able to build things I can't for a few years now. Just recently Nolan has taken an interest and is really getting creative. The other day he made me a giraffe that looked like a giraffe (a lego one anyway). Here is a pic of him with one of his many creations.

Colin's Visit to the Dentist

The Dentist and his staff are always so amazed at how "good" Colin is at the dentist. They are always prepared for a screaming 2-3 year old and he just climbs right up on the table. He had a little trouble this time because his top tooth was hurting (from running into the wall), but he made it through just fine. Nolan is also a good helper. He and Matthew had been to the dentist a couple of weeks earlier. I'll also post a couple of pictures from Valentine's Day parties.

Baseball Boys

O.K. they're sideways. I'll figure this out soon. Anyway, you get the idea.

O.K. Where are my pictures? I uploaded them and the computer told me they were sent here. I'll try again.

Oh - now here it is - of course not the pictures I orignally wanted was just practicing here. Anyway you can see the view from our seats at the Alamo Bowl in January. It was a very odd sensation being in Aggie land with such good seats. We secretly bonded with other undercover Longhorn fans nearby. Marty spotted a longhorn emblem on one fan's phone case and showed him his longhorn watch... When the Aggie kids' whoops were too much for us we headed up to the free food and drinks and hung out there. I'll try again for the boys' baseball pictures.

Attempt to post pictures

Excuse the post below - obviously Marty got ahold of my editing capabilities. I am attempting to post pictures. They boys are really into baseball lately - mostly because they watched "The Sandlot" movie. Every night they want us to go outside and "play ball."
