For Easter this year we had lunch and an egg hunt at the house for the kids. This year Eric had to share his egg hunt with the two younger ones. Eric by far got the most eggs, he was quick. Quick to spot them, quick to pick them up, quick to put them in his bucket. Mason followed Eric, sort of. He just kept picking up the same eggs over & over, he would pick them up & they would just fall out. Emily was very intrested in watching what the boys were doing. She managed to pick up about a dozen eggs of her own but she was definatley very interested in watching the boys. Next year is gonna be fun.
Eric decided this year that he wanted to play t-ball. The kiddos have been an absolute blast to watch. I think we have had as much fun watching them as they have had playing. And for you local folks, our coach is Robert Wihite (the owner of the BBQ resteraunt in Creedmoore). He has been the best coach we could have asked for. About half the kids on our team have never played t-ball before & he, along with the assistant coaches, have been the most patient, kind & supportive coaches. All the kids have played all the different positions across the field & are really starting to show some great improvments.
Early in January we took my mother-in-law down to Houston for a visit with her doctor. Well it just so happens that her doctor's office is right across the street from the Houston zoo. So, while she did her thing in the office, we strolled across the street & visited all the wonderful animals.
The week after Christmas we signed the contract on a brand-spanking new house in Kyle. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2010 sq ft of our very own piece of heaven. Right after Christmas we started the very tedious process of packing up 10 years worth of stuff. We closed on the house on January 28th & moved in that night!!
Christmas was a little chaotic this last year, we had just moved back, just signed the paperwork for our new house & started the process of packing up 10 years worth of stuff in the old house. Still the boys managed to make quite a haul.
For Halloween Eric decided he wanted to be a zombie, AWESOME! (A real chance to let my creativity take over!) Mason didn't get a choice, he was Superman. After Halloween 07' I bought a cute little Superman costume on clearance at HEB for $4. I figured it would either fit him in '08 or it wouldn't, either way it was only $4. Lucky for me, it fit. Even as young as he was, Superman fit his personality to a T! We hit up the Amberwood neighborhood in Kyle this year & the boys had a blast, in just one street the boys got enough candy to last them awhile!
Sometime after we got back to Texas we spent a quiet Saturday evening over at the Reeves, jammin out to Rock Band actually, but that's neither here nor there. The funny part of the evening was when the kids took over the drums. I think we may have some future drummers on our hands.
As a gift from my parents for the boys' double birthday party, Eric & Mason got tickets to go see Sesame Street LIVE in San Antonio. They both really enjoyed it, Eric more than Mason (he might have been a little too young to sit still for that long) but it was still really cute & fun to watch.
