Oh go fly a kite...

We bought the boys kites for Easter and they really wanted to go try them out. So Monday mom and I took them over to this field to give it a try. The boys had a blast! What a nice day... they get to fly a kite and run up and down a really big hill! What could be better?!?!













Even Nani gave it a try.


After we were done with running up the hill and flying their kites we walked them to the creek right nex to the field. We showed them where my mom and I used to take Broghie to run in the water.





They "LOVE" throwing rocks in water just as much as playing in dirt!



Then it was time to go home for lunch with many promises to come back. When we got home I made Gavin eat because he kept saying his belly hurt. I thought it was because he didnt really eat anything today... I learned the hard way I was wrong! He had a stomach bug! The poor thing was sick.

He didn't get sick there... not to worry. My poor baby was was too weak to walk!


So our whole family outing to the resturant turned into a "Date" night for Connor and Nani to the Mountain House for some NY pizza!



It was a fun day out for all of us even though the end was not so good for Gavin... next time buddy!

He did start to feel alot better after his little nap on Daddy and was running around by bedtime!

Easter Part Two...

The boys hanging with Lauren, Carol and Mike waiting for the Easter Egg hunt to begin...




Let the hunt begin...






Broghies wanted to be with the boys- Hey wait for me guys...



Now that Broghies here to help...we can take a break!










hey Brogs lets go see what we got!

Checking out the goods...


ooh Candy



oooh a car (Connor was more interested in the money and toys than the candy)



Showing Lauren the trucks the Easter bunny left them



One crashed during dinner....



The boys hanging out with broghie under the table. I can remember hanging out under my nani and pops table I used to have so much fun.


Before Dessert Course outside for a breather and BUBBLES....




I dont remember bubbles being this fun...bliss


Uncle Brian is so much fun...


Aunt Carol bought the boys Coloring books and crayons so after most people left the boys talked Aunt Kerri and Uncle Brian into coloring with them

Brian was told or demanded that he had to color on the floor




So while the "girls" chatted away over wine and candy the boys hung out on the couch...

Uncle brian let Connor use his new Blackberry... so Kerri had really no choice but to let Gavin play with hers! He is "crazy" just like Connor says! lol They rock in the fun department!



So I hope you had a wonderful Easter as you can see we did!

oh...Just a warning kids this is what a little "wine" and whole lotta sugar can do to ya....


Good times!!!

Easter Catch up!

I know I have been a bad blogger lately. I will try to catch you up to our adventures to NJ and try to keep it short! Yea this may be a long one...


Had a wonderful Easter with family. It was so much fun to see everyone and spend time with them. Even though my cousin Andrew had to work on Easter we were able to spend time with him on this trip (Thanks Andrew for making the time to see us) and my cousin Will was at school (his "entertainment" was missed) lol. I can't remember the last Easter we were all together and it was so nice... thanks mom for having us all! I miss all our family gatherings planned and unplanned from when I was growing up.


Friday night Aunt Carol and Andrew came to visit. Here is Andrew hanging out playing with Gavin and showing him how to play Mario Cart.




Aunt Carol ran out and got tons of Ice cream for Gavin! He was SO excited he was screaming thru the house! Thanks Aunt Carol!!


On the phone... "I love you Daddy and Connor... and miss you... Big Kiss!"


Way too much excitement for one day!



Connor and Peter arrived Saturday night... Yippee! Connor was under the weather but started to feel better. Gavin was excited to have someone to play with. Mom and I were busy getting things ready for the party... so Gavin was just a little lonely with out his brother!


Easter Treats... even the bunny left some stuff for Broghie!


Following the Easter bunny trails to the basket of goodies



Bunny tracks caught on film!


Just the beginning of the sugar high that t is Easter....








Yep- Connor has some self control and was really into his car he got. Hey we did get them bagels... wasn't all about the candy!



hmmm are these for ME?


We were able to get them (I mean Gavin) to take a few pictures before they got messy!



Where is everyone???
