Ours was a Happy Easter

Easter is very calm and relaxing at our
house. We woke up to see what the
Easter Bunny brought. (Logan has it
all figured out) There were 12 eggs
per child hidden in their signature color.
Layton is always blue, Logan is always
green and Landry is always pink. There
was money in them this year. Then we ate
breakfast and got ready for church. The
color scheme this year was light blue and
white. After Sunday afternoon naps Mammie had
a wonderful early dinner. She made fried chicken,
mashed potatoes, salad, bread and onion rings
and chocolate dipped strawberries.
Wow! It was delish! I had chocolate chip pie
but nobody wanted it because we were all
so stuffed. Here is a picture of Sissy before church
in her slip trying to get her toothpaste ready.

Here she is all ready and looking beautiful.

Believe it or not Layton walked in and
posed all by himself and asked me to take
his picture.
My sweet 7 year old is growing up so fast.

Circus Circus


We took the kids to the Royse City Circus!
I know, I know, we are very well rounded!
It was quite an adventure. The circus itself
was pretty good but as Adam put it, "if you
want to feel good about yourself just go to the
Royce City circus." We saw people of all walks
of life (I'm being very politically correct
and polite here) We did not waste money to see
the giant snakes, we just thought this would be a
funny picture. Layton did not want to pose
for the photo. Who's surprised?

The amazing Fernandez acrobat family.

Miss Lucy with her amazing dogs. Some of them
even managed to jump through hoops. Wow!
I don't think they were very interested
in performing that night.
It was funny to see her try to walk on the tarp
on top of the dirt in her Payless Shoe Source shiny
pumps. Yes, that is a tiara on her head. She
was very fancy! She was like Fancy Nancy
live in the flesh and training dogs.

Fernando the juggler. He only dropped about
three of them. I'm glad none were on fire.

Sinclair and his ferocious tiger troop. He was
not very nice to the tigers. I feel pretty sure
that PETA would not like him. Even the boys
commented on the use of the whip.

Can't remember this guy's name but while he
wasn't balancing on plexiglas and coffee cans
he also doubled as a program
and popcorn salesman. I guess they are all
around performers.

Not sure what she was doing here since
she rarely gets off of my lap, probably trying
to butter him up for some cotton candy.

Sissy with her "yitesaver" and yes, it broke
the very next day. It has 2 applications of
super glue on it already.

Logan and Layton bought light sabers each in
their respective colors. Layton is
always blue and Logan is always green.
They love them so much and contrary to
what Adam and I thought
they actually made it through the night without
breaking. They are still working.


This was Layton's reaction when the clowns were
making fools of themselves. He actually told me he
didn't want to go originally because the
clowns made him scared.

Walking back to the car after the circus.
Logan was so happy he just had to leap
for joy. He told us thank you several times
that night. What a sweet boy.

R.A. Racecar Derby

Logan and Adam love R.A.'s and they do
something fun each Wedneday night.
Last Wednesday they finally finished their
Derby cars. They sanded, designed, painted,
added the wheels and put weights on their cars.
Friday night were the Racecar Derby Races. They
raced by grade levels and then the winner of
each grade level raced against each other
to get the Grand Champion!
Here is Logan's car: It's named Luke.
Surprise - Surprise
On your mark! Get set! Go!Are you wondering where Logan's car, Luke, is?
Well notice the arm at the bottom of the picture.
It won by that much. The winner of the 1st grade Race is:
Logan (Luke) Gerhart!
Then he raced in the Grand Champion race
and he won it. Wow! Look at that Luke car.
Can you believe that a 1st grader was the
Grand Champion race too? We can't! Those two tropies are so special to Logan.
Both trophies and the car were on
display on top the the entertainment center
in the living room for a few days but they
now have a very special place of honor in
Logan's room.
Layton and Landry and Sis and Mommy were
there for the first race but went home to
get the littles in bed so when
Logan and Adam walked in from
the races he had Adam announce: And now
for the winner of the 1st grade race
and Grand Champion: Logan Gerhart!
We are all so proud and excited for Logan.
I haven't seen him so excited in a long time.
For a few days he just kept giggling and
saying, I can't believe I won both races!

Happy Monday

I was in the kitchen prepping for dinner and
then turned back to look at Layton and
this is how he looked. Poor little boy
was just too tired to go on.

The boys love their sunglasses!
Sissy loves a pasie!

Asleep in a Heap

Asleep in a Heap
Has anyone read that book?
That is all I could think about when
I walked up to check on the boys and
saw this. They love to sleep together
and they started out sleeping correctly
in layton's bed but changed to this position
sometime.

Sunday morning

I love to take pictures of the kiddos all dressed
up on Sunday mornings. They look more alike
each day.
Mammie bought Landry this new dress
with a matching one for Baby Ally.
