Easter Fun!

Easter started early in the Kolb Family.  We celebrated on Palm Sunday at Mommom's.  The boys enjoyed an egg hunt!  This was Lucas's first egg hunt experience.  I was surprised that he got the hang of it right away!!!

 Because of having so many snow days this winter, the boys' Spring Break was cut down to just 2 days, but we packed those days as full as we could. 

Dyeing eggs on Friday

Then celebrating Easter with Grammy and Grandpa on Friday night.

 

Lucas got his own wagon!

These 2 are going to be so much TROUBLE!!!

The big boys got nerf guns!

Saturday morning we celebrated with the McMillan's.

Finally Sunday morning the Easter Bunny arrived!

I love how they came out through the hallway in a conga line!!!

Excited to see their baskets!

 After church the boys played outside.  The weather was beautiful.  We had plans to go for a hike but that changed when Jim was gone all day/evening for fire calls....  Sunday was our 12 year anniversary as well. Looking forward to celebrating this coming weekend!

Practicing with their new bows!

Monday was a low key day at home with the boys.  We broke out the moon bounce for the first time this year.  Lucas was loving it!  I was able to relax on the patio, suffering from a lovely sinus infection while the boys jumped!

Baseball games start this week, if the rain doesn't ruin the fields again.  So looking forward to the warmer weather to continue!

Great Wolf Lodge!

In lieu of having birthday parties with their friends, Eric and Jacob chose to spend a night at Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos.  We left after school on Thursday, dropped Lucas and Tyler at Grammy and Grandpa's and drove to the Lodge  We spent the night and all day Friday and were waterlogged by the time we left!  We had a blast!

Their own "bunkhouse" inside our hotel room.

Exploring the hotel in pajamas!

The lobby was so cool!

Our room

 The wave pool was their favorite!

Jacob was a little too short to try this, but Eric was a pro!

 Lunch!

The bucket of water that dumps every few minutes!

Ice cream for the ride home!

There were also 7 tubes slides and a lazy river that we enjoyed.  Some of the slides were pretty intense!  The boys have already asked to go back....  it was a fun getaway!

February wrap-up

So February was COLD, COLD, COLD!!!  We are SO ready for Spring so we can get outside to run around!

Lucas turned 15 months last week. He is quite the little ham lately.  He is very stubborn and has been known to throw a few tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants!  But, he's also very sweet.   He loves to give hugs and high-fives and is a great helper when you ask him to do something.

This is his favorite pastime...

We can't keep him off the kitchen table!!! 

He has also mastered drinking out of a straw!  Easy to do when your big brothers leave their cups out where you can get them!

His favorite part of the day seems to be bedtime because he knows he is going to brush his teeth then get his pacifier in his crib!  Crazy kid!!!

Daddy introduced him to Oreos with milk!

He thinks it's great to lick the beaters when Mommy is baking! 

this was actually mashed potatoes and he licked the beater clean but refused to eat them at dinner!

 He likes to help with the laundry

He loves his buddy Gabe!

Eric and Jacob have been obsessed with playing Minecraft on the Xbox and watching YouTube videos of other people playing the game.  It's driving me CRAZY!!!

 Lunch on a snow day!

Shoveling off the top layer of snow to find a sheet of ice....they made an ice skating rink!

We said goodbye to our neighbors, The Garrison's.  They moved up state to an assisted living facility.  We gave them this picture of the boys and Tyler to remember us!  We miss them!

Jim made a new headboard for our bed!  It's been on his to-do list for quite a while.  It's actually made out of panels from Mommom Kolb's old garage door!

Looking forward to spring in 21 days!  Mother Nature better get her act together!!!
