Older Girls...

Our neighborhood is filled with boys!  Ben and Conner have lots of friends to play with.  After spending a little time playing with the boys this afternoon, our boys decided that they wanted to play with the older girls a few houses down!  They even had some scooter races!

Cockroach Races...

We started our Spring Break this morning with some cockroach races! Why not?

  

Conner, of course, is pouting because he didn't win a trophy...

Ben was just his happy little self...

Conner livened up when he received this huge plastic bug and Ben chose the same thing.  It was actually a pretty good time!  The boys enjoyed it and I loved watching them!  After the races, we headed out to lunch and the boys plan on playing outside for the afternoon!

March 12, 2015...

Today was a very emotional day... Grandma's funeral was today.  The boys did the best they could, but it is still a bit confusing! When we got home, the boys sat by all the beautiful flowers we got to bring home.

  

In other news, Conner went to the ear doctor the other day and one of his tubes was laying in his ear canal so the doctor removed it, put it in a little treasure chest, and told Conner about the "tube fairy!" We kept forgetting about it so tonight we remembered and asked Conner if he wanted to put it under his pillow and see if there really was a tube fairy.  He opted out, saying that he didn't want a fairy to come and take his treasure chest! So, for now, he just wants to keep it!

Although today was a sad day for us, we have to acknowledge that today is our family's adoption day!  6 years ago, today was a very happy day for us!  I snapped one last photo of these two little miracles that make our life so sweet.  We have Spring Break coming up next week, so we will spend some time celebrating our special day!  We love you so much Ben and Conner...

Success!

First day of school with their new glasses!  I thought they were looking pretty good!  And they even made it through the first day without breaking or losing their glasses!  Success!

Glasses...

The boys went to the eye doctor a few weeks ago and we were told that they would both need glasses.  So Ben and Conner have been impatiently waiting for their glasses to arrive and today was finally the day!

Prepared...

The boys were packing everything they could into their pajama pants this morning.  Not sure where they thought they were going, but they insisted they needed to be prepared!

Great Grandma...

We started March off with some sad news.  My grandma got very sick and spent a few days in the hospital before she passed away on Saturday.  The boys were able to see her on Thursday night and I went back on Friday and spent the day with her, so it was nice to have the chance to say goodbye for now.  This is the first time we have really had to deal with this topic with our boys so they are a little confused and keep asking if great grandma is going to get better.

We will all miss you so much Grandma!  I am so grateful that you had the chance to watch us all grow up and see all of these beautiful great grandkids!  This is one of my favorite pictures...  Love you Grandma!
