Happy Mother's Day

Don't you just love being waited on all day? I can't believe I have to wait an entire year before it happens again! :) Yesterday was so great. The boys spoiled me rotten. Andy always does such a great job of pampering me on Mother's Day, but it was so neat to see Alex and Caleb really get into it this year. They just bring me such joy! They brought me breakfast in bed, along with cards and gifts. After church we had a picnic and went to the zoo. Yes, it was a little chilly, but Caleb insists that one of my favorite things to do is take him to the zoo, so off we went. Once we were home, I locked myself away in the bedroom and took a nap (my favorite part of any Sunday) while Andy and the boys cleaned and made me a delicious dinner. I am SO blessed to have these 3 guys in my life!

Me and my firstborn


Me and my baby

Yeah for Saturday!

I just love Saturdays. There are no lunchboxes to pack, no one to take to school, and usually no errands to run. This past Saturday we spent at my old high school. They had their 25th anniversary carnival (finally, after being rained out twice) out on their football field. Those boys wore me out! Alex made his first attempt climbing a rock wall. He started to get pretty nervous about half way up and came back down. That was plenty high for him. There were inflatables, games, and even laser tag. As fun as all of that was, both boys will tell you that the highlight of their day was the snowcones. Check out their face painting - didn't the girl who did it do an awesome job? I thought they looked great! Of course, 2 days later, I'm still trying to scrub the red out of Caleb's shirt.

Fun on the Berry Farm

Alex had a field trip to Three Sisters Berry Farm out in Suffolk. It was such a beautiful day! They learned about plants, planted pumpkin seeds, learned about beekeeping, visited the petting zoo, and of course picked strawberries. Alex probably ate almost as many strawberries as he brought home. After a picnic lunch, the ladies who ran the farm made ice cream sundaes for all the kids. I was so glad to be able to go with him on his field trip - it was the first one I was able to make all year!

See What I Live With!!

It was one of those rainy days where the boys were cooped up and looking for something to do. This is what happens when I'm back in the bedroom doing laundry and the boys come across the camera. The three of them (yes, Andy too) took pictures of themselves in order to impress me with their photography skills. Life is never dull in this house, even on the rainiest of days.

A Day of Play

These pictures are from last month, but for some reason I couldn't get the slide show working right. Caleb and I spent the morning at the mall with Tammy and Eli, and our cousin's wife Ashley and her new baby Nathan. He's such a cutie! Then after Alex got out of school, it was off to the park.

An Egg-citing Easter Weekend!

Happy Easter everyone! What a busy weekend! It started Friday with decorating Easter eggs - sports themed eggs of course for my boys. Then Saturday morning we went with my sister, nephew, and parents to Portsmouth City Park for an Easter egg hunt sponsored by our church. It was less of a hunt and more of an Easter egg free-for-all. They got to play games and visit with the Easter bunny. There were over 3,000 people who turned out for this shin-dig. It was INSANE!! The boys loved it! As you can see, my boys were so very handsome Easter morning. After church, we went to Tammy's house for lunch. I made a cake that was supposed to look like an Easter basket, but I'm not so sure that's what it looked like. You be the judge. Alex read the Easter story to Caleb and Eli, who actually sat and listened. Then Caleb wanted to read it. This version was very different, due to the fact that Caleb cannot read. After the story, it was off to the backyard for yet another Easter egg hunt. I have plastic eggs everywhere in my house. Before we headed home, we stopped by the beach to enjoy the playground and just have some Weissinger family time. I am so glad that this week is spring break. It will take at least that long just to recuperate from this weekend!

Family Pics

We had pictures taken with my side of the family recently. Don't look for me in any of these, because I'm nowhere to be found. I had the WORST hair day ever, so I made sure not to include any pictures with the damaging evidence. :) Tip - never take pictures on a windy, rainy day. As usual, the boys were just adorable!
