A Mops Fun Day

Today I took just Nate to our Mops fun day at the Sawdust Factory in Upland. (this photo was taken after a few families had left)
The before shot. We made "Mother's Day Projects" so I picked out the giant flower for Nate to paint. BTW you will see lots of goofy faces on Nate in this post cuz he was so darn excited to be there!
I wanted Nate to do all the painting himself but he wanted us to paint together so I helped a little bit.
Of course he picked blue paint and then dark blue paint - luckily they just put some green paint on our table so he used that too to give it some nice variety.
This was as messy as he got!
On to the next station: speckles!
Here the speckle girl is making a bumble bee on the flower out of Nate's fingerprint - cute!
Nate and Wyatt:The finished project and Nate's new doggy: FluffyThe reason we got Fluffy is because last time we came to the Sawdust Factory Nate made a dog house and got to pick out a doggy (Spotties) last year. Well he stinkin loves that doggy (it has been on every camping trip with us and at Family Camp Spotties mastered the doggy obstacle course) and when he found out we were going back he was super excited to get another dog so I totally gave in.
I had a great time with my Nate!

Hoppy Easter

This year we had a nice mello Easter. The boys had to hunt for their baskets in the morning which were hidden in plain site in the kitchen. Zach found them first.
We got the boys Mr Potato Heads and since I wanted them to have some different parts (and since it was 2.50 cheaper), I got 1 Mr Potato Bunny. Well Nate just loved wearing the bunny mouth and ears, he walked around like that for a while - the funniest part was when he decided the bunny tail I tucked in the back of his pants needed to be more realistic and dropped his pants in front of everyone to try and tuck it in his booty. Don't worry I didn't let him!
After church we had part of Ryan's family and my folks over for a small lunch. The boys had their own private egg hunt, just the 2 of them.
We made these bird houses the day before at Lowes and I thought it was so cute to put eggs on them.
Some cuteness:
Our family:
(all 3 of my boys had matching shirts on in different colors - I love that!)
After Zach's nap we went over to the Smarts for my "big" family Easter dinner. We did 2 separate hunt for little kids and bigger kids. My what a lot of kids, so much fun!
