Easter 2013

 

 Happy Easter!  We were up early for Easter and the egg hunt.  We actually met Nanny and Papa for breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then Carter and I headed north to OKC to watch the Lady Bears in the Sweet 16.  They unexpectedly lost that game which was the end of their NCAA tournament run.

 

Ross & Reid Evans

Megan and Randy had their twin BOYS!  Ross and Reid are precious!  Just two little miracles!  They've waited a long time for these guys to get here.  Lots of fertility treatments and lots of bed rest.  What a journey it's been.  So thrilled for the Evans family!

Caleb Turns 11

Baby Boy is 11 years old.  I brought Caleb lunch for his last birthday at Heritage Elementary.  Hard to believe this is his last year in elementary school and is a pre-teen.  Caleb picked Rockfish for his birthday dinner.  Any chance I get to go out with my four guys, it's a special night.  So thankful to have Caleb Aubrey as my son.  He's such a delight.  He's a quiet, hard-working boy with a sweet spirit and is kind to everyone he meets.  He laughs loudly and thinks deeply.  Caleb treats his younger brothers well even when they are on his nerves.  He's most talkative after a swim practice.  Any other time he will only share information on an as-needed basis.  He is extremely responsible and loyal to his small circle of friends.  I feel like I'm raising my husband.  That's probably why Caleb and I get along so well.

Watch DOGS

Steve was able to serve as Watch DOGS at Heritage.  The boys were so excited and proud to have their dad at school.  (Steve picked this day since it was the day before Caleb's birthday)  They introduced him on the announcements at the start of the school day.  Steve spend his day wandering the hallways, checking on the classrooms, helping in the cafeteria, walking the perimeter of the school, among other things.  Some teachers had no problem grabbing him and putting him to work!  Steve certainly has a new understanding of how the school works and what goes on during the day.  Watch DOGS is an amazing program!  So glad our neighbor, Tim Meeks, brought it to our school this year!  Steve's already signed up to serve another day before summer break.

Western Day

It was Western Day at MDO for Brenner and Dawson.  Could these boys be any cuter?  And look at them holding hands- just the best of friends!

Caleb's Party

 What a handsome guy!  Almost 11 years old!

Caleb wanted to have a Laser Tag and Video Game birthday party.  We went to Main Event and met a few friends for an afternoon of fun.  Steve had to take his GRE test, but was able to meet up with us as soon as his test was over.  Penny Woods, Amye Engberson, and Nanny all were around to help out.  This was one of the easiest parties I've put together.  The kids are all old enough to play on their own with little help from us adults.  Caleb had a great day and enjoyed every minute of the time he had with his friends!

Silly Boy

This boy is the king of scrunching his nose.  Just a silly boy through and through.

Finally! Top Tooth is Gone

Carter has waited for forever to lose his top teeth.  He's probably the oldest in his class to still have baby teeth up top.  What an exciting day for Carter Reinhardt!
