So, what a fun month we have had so far!  The first week of April was filled with April Fool's Day jokes. . . Austin thought it was hysterical to pull pranks and tell us there were spiders on our backs and both boys got into the fun of telling us stories to make eachother laugh. 

 

 Austin had his friend Lincoln Wheelan over for a play date the first Saturday of the month and the two boys had a great time.  They call eachother best friends and they really did play well together for right around four hours.  During lunch Lincoln told us that his uncle Brooks was on the tv show 'Saturday Night Live', to which Austin replied, "well, my uncle Jon has his office at his house so he doesn't even have to go to work.  It is so cool."  To which Lincoln responded, "wow, that is really cool!"  Loved hearing their conversations throughout the day!!

 

Annie and Papa were here for the second week in April, to help Brian with the boys as I was out of town on business.  So, I was at a conference in Palm Springs, CA enjoying the sunshine.  The boys had a fun week playing games, baking cookies, playing outside, going on walks, etc.  Sounds like everyone had a great week.  I was anxious to get home on Thursday night and was excited to get to spend Friday with my boys!  Gavin started clapping this week!  He is so adorable and as long as we cheer along with him he will clap often!!  It is so cute.

 

Friday we went to the library, ate lunch outside and played outside as much as possible.

 

I brought back some fun stuff from the gift shop at my hotel.  These are pictures of the boys eating a sucker that has a scorpion inside of it!  I thought that there might be more hesitation but both Austin and Colton wanted to try it right away.  Austin ate the entire head of the bug and Colton ate one of the legs.  Austin said, "the scorpion tastes like caramel, so it must not be real, because no bug tastes like caramel!"  I, however, still did not want to try the sucker.  It was gross!

 

Saturday was an amazing day here.  The weather was perfect and so warm.  The boys spent every minute they could outside playing with the neighbors.  We went to Harrison's, went on a walk, went to Cason's and the boys all ran around together until dinner time.  By the time we ate dinner, they were all exhausted.  When book time came, Colton told me he didn't want to read books and he just went straight to bed!  It was nice to spend a great spring day outside for a change.  Colton was even wearing shorts and declared his black gym shorts to be his favorite.  He asked if he could wear them every day now!  Sunday was rainy, we had family game night, which was great and then today we woke up to snow and ice!  Crazy weather . . . I hope that it starts to warm up again soon!
