St. Patty's Day

Today we went GREEN! We started our day off with GREEN pancakes in honor of St. Patrick's Day. 
The boys just thought that was great to have green pancakes with green sprinkles. 



After our green pancakes we headed out the door to gymnastics. Bryce is loving it and doing better and better every week. Today mommy had a major pregnancy brain fart. We were out the door my 9 like we always are for gymnastics and I stopped by Starbucks for a morning pick me up and go and we were on the road. I kept looking at the clock thinking to myself why are we so early. We pulled into the parking lot at 935, Bryce was excited to get out and start is class. I kept telling him we are a little bit early so we are going to stay in the car for bit. So, we sat in the car and played around with each other. About 945 I decided we could go ahead and go inside...I walk in and the class is going, I was really confused. Was I late or what? Bryce ran in and joined right in and I stopped for a minute and looked at my clock and realized class starts at 930. WHAT WAS I THINKING?? Bryce has been in this class for a 4 weeks now, I should know what time it starts. 

Coconuts
Have you ever tried to break open a coconut? If you haven't you should try sometime. After you break open your first coconut you will have TONS of appreciation for store bought coconut. 



Our neighbor over waters her yard, and it has created a mud hole in our yard. Bryan dug it out and was going to fill it in with rock. Well before he could get the rock in the hole the boys were back in it again. Isaac prefers to be in the water, and Bryce feeds toys to Isaac. Bryce has figured out that he gets in trouble when he gets muddy, so Isaac will be the one to get muddy and Bryce still gets to have fun throwing toys in the mud.  
Grandpa's Day! 

 Grandma and Aunt Carole are vacationing in Ireland over spring break. Grandpa's birthday happened to fall the same time grandma was going to be gone. So, we had grandpa over for the day and spent great quality time with him. Grandpa joined us for build and grow at Lowes. He helped Bryce build a basketball goal with a ball launcher. 



After finishing up at Lowes we headed over to Babbo's Italian Eatery for a yummy lunch. The afternoon was a laid back relaxing afternoon, went Bryan spending some good time watching a movie with dad. The evening followed up with a pork roast for dinner, and Bryce's favorite park GRANDPA'S BIRTHDAY CAKE. I had no idea what type of cake to make for grandpa. Everyone said chocolate, and I was thinking to myself that is just way to easy...so I decided to spice it up a little bit. Bryce and I made grandpa a double chocolate cake with a layer of thin mint ice cream in the middle. I just so happened to have some thin mints left over for the girl scout cookies, so I topped the top of the cake with thin mint cookies. I'm not a chocolate lover, but the cake was yummy.





Daddy is off camping
Bryan headed off early this morning on a backpacking trip with his dad and cousin. Needless to say I've been a little lost without Bryan home. I'm home all day with the boys and we all look forward to 5 o'clock everyday. Dinner, playtime, baths, and so much more with DADDY. I find myself thinking about him all the time wondering is he okay, did he make it to camp, did he have everything he needed. I was happy to see that tonight was a full moon, Bryan has a little extra shine while he is sleeping in the mountains. Only one other time in our 7 1/2 years we have been together where we did not get to talk to each other ALL DAY. If anyone knows Bryan and I we are always calling each other throughout the day. Today has been very hard for me, and I'm sure tomorrow will be even harder. But I am so happy that Bryan has the opportunity to do things like this with his father. I can not wait to hear all the stories he will have to tell.   
 I was trying to convince Bryan to take Isaac with him. He fit in his hiking pack and everything.  
The boys are ready to go camping. We are going to take a camping trip sometime in April and I'm sure the boys will go crazy. 

Time to spray! 

Nice black widow spider Bryan found at the base of our house outside!
