Happy Easter!!!
It's been awhile since I've last posted as my home computer needs some daddy attention (IE... I think we have a virus-so I wont turn it on till Ben looks at it and he seems not to think this is a priority). I grabbed his laptop and thought I would check my e-mail and do a quick update so people don't think I have given up totally on my blog.
Happy Easter to all. We had a really nice Easter this year. Very different as we have always been with Ben's family on Easter and this year we were home. We had yummy sticky buns that were not part of my diet and exercise I have worked hard on the last month but boy were they yummy. The Easter bunny visited and the boys did a Easter egg hunt and found their baskets. Both boys were SO much fun. Ryan really got into it this year and loved finding the eggs, especially if they had candy or something fun inside!!!! We headed over to my brothers for Easter lunch and had a massive egg hunt with all the kids. We had dyed 4 dozen eggs and they went crazy finding them. We had 3 egg hunts as they had so much fun. I really seem to enjoy holidays more and more as both boys are getting older. They just get it now and are SO excited and seeing the faces of pure joy on their sweet faces so priceless.
I have adorable pics of Easter to come so check back. Not sure when or how to upload as the computer situation leaves me in a spot but I think with a little prodding Ben might help me out.

Growing and Changing
Spring is near and boy do we all have Springs fever. Lots of growing and changing going on in this household.
Keaton just turned four and is just an amazing little man. At his Four year appt. he was 43 1/2 inches tall and 38 1/2 lbs. As you can see his is growing fast and showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. I was so relieved to finally find a great pediatrician!! I have been to several and wasn't happy until now. She felt Keaton looked very healthy and was well ahead of the game for just turning four and didn't see anything to be concerned about health wise but she is going to go thru all test results with fine tooth comb to be sure. This of course makes me feel much better after our scares.
I just registered Keaton for another year of preschool next year since his birthday starts to late to go to kindergarten next fall. He will go three days next year as the boy loves going to school!! He is really come into his own over the last few months. He of course is still the independent, headstrong child he has always been with a side of non-stop energy but at least he is at a stage now where he is accepting (for the most part) that not everything is going to go is way, you can reason some with him and he is coming to grips with the fact that he has a brother who he has too share with and tolerate!! Three's were a very trying age in our home, so I am blessed to see that so far the fours are going pretty well, mind you were only a month in!!!! Keaton is very interested in dinosaurs and loves to read any and everything about them, he loves using his imagination and tells great stories and my most favorite is he is a great singer. Ben and I love to listen to the songs he comes up with daily. Climbing is also a great past time of Keaton's. He loves to go to his favorite park called "The Rock park", this is Keaton's name for the park as it has huge boulder all over the huge park area. He runs from boulder to boulder scaling them and flying his wind gliders off them. Overall I just want to squeeze Keaton and love him to death because he is just a great gift.
I don't even know where to start on what Ryan is doing as it's more what Ryan is not doing!!! Ryan is growing by the minute. Ryan is my little baby but sadly he is far from a baby now a days. He is almost two and showing all the wonderful gifts of a two year old. His latest is to share when he is not happy by blessing us with a mind numbing scream that makes you want to invest in ear plugs. Thankfully it's not to often or Ben and I would be insane!!! Ryan loves and adores his big brother so you shouldn't be surprised when I say that he too loves dinosaurs. He also loves Bee's. It's his favorite word to say and he just saw the Bee movie and didn't move the entire time as he was so beside himself with all those BEES! He is finally getting around to talking more these days. I have called him the man of few words as he just does his thing and could care less chatting about it. He finally has had more to say to all of us as he is learning or at least sharing new things everyday. His new thing is jumping and it's the cutes darn thing to watch as he is so proud of himself. He loves to play outside,digging, playing with balls, hide and seek and has mastered most playground equipment we have come across. There is little that scares the little guy. He jumps into most anything with two feet and doesn't look back. He is working on riding his tricycle and he's pretty darn good at it, play dough, puzzles and coloring is a big hit around our house these days. We have had a few drawings on the walls with crayons (thank god it washes off!), Ryan has also taken to collecting and carrying around all his favorite toys no matter if he has the hands to or not. He has really come into his own the last months and is such a happy go lucky kid.
Overall my two precious sons are growing up and blessing me with wonderful memories to treasure. Children truly are a blessing and a gift.

Peace and Quiet
Sometimes in life you recognize that your having a monumental moment and this afternoon is my moment. Many days as a stay at home mom I am consumed with my children's constant needs and have little down time but after a rocky start of both kids up before 6am (what is going on there????) and Keaton spilling my coffee all over, right as we were leaving to drop him at preschool, I have been given a gift. What is it you may wonder, well.......... PEACE and QUIET!!!! You read it right, my house is peaceful and has been for over close to 2 hours. The boys have been playing together and separate for awhile and I just realized that I haven't had to referee any sharing issues or spatial issues!!! No one is whining or crying it's just a wonderful chatter amongst brothers and mommy that is wonderful tranquility to my ears. It's a moment that could change any second so I better go and continue to enjoy!!! Oh the moments that get you through another day!!
