EASTER

Easter morning is always an exciting place at the Steck house! And to the boys surprise the bunny did not let them down. There was candy everywhere! and we had to try to contain the mayhem. Darren and I are really trying to teach the boys about holidays and WHY we have them and that it isn't just about candy... not an easy task.

Here is the letter from the Easter Bunny explaining the true meaning of Easter

The boys didn't let us down... up at 6:30... on a Sunday... on a holiday... on a day I don't have my usual morning meetings... but we love them and it was worth it :)

Weston wasn't too into it... just upset he couldn't sit and eat and the big boys were taking stuff from him! It's rough being the little guy of the house.

Preston found his basket first!

Bryson with his basket!

Looking for Candy!

Weston picking up whatever he could... as fast as he could

Daddy Morning...

Today, Darren stayed home and went into work with me and the boys a bit later than usual. I love these mornings, no one is crying outside of the shower door, asking for help, pulling on my leg... I can get showered and dressed in peace.
I found this picture when I downloaded the pics and I thought... did Darren take this to prove he got them all ready and matching? Or because they were all drinking their morning chocolate milk? I think it was the second, but still... he is a great help to me and for the boys.

WOW, Are they brothers or What?
At this point they are watching "Sid the Science Kid" and have moved on from picture taking. Weston though is still ok with pictures.

BUBBLE Time

I got home from enrichment and found the boys having way too much fun with the bubbles. Preston's had all fallen off when I got my camera, but it was still pretty funny to see them covered in bubbles.

Robes

The boys got these for Christmas and I think this was the first time they were all in them together. Sunday's are usually crazy with me gone to presidency meeting, but today I didn't have one so we got to relax and take our time getting ready. I have to admit it was really nice!

BRYSON - he was most excited that it had his name

PRESTON

WESTON

Preston is hard to keep focused to get a good picture, in this one he is "helping" Weston

Bryson and Weston hugging! They are so cute together

Bryson wasn't sure about a picture right out of the shower...

This shows Westons chin that he hurt out on the Drive-way... about 2 hours before going to Kiddie Kandids, yes we canceled!

Wrestling... Our Never Ending Story!

Every night the boys cannot wait for daddy to get home... they all run off to get him. Most nights at some point end up in wrestlying matches on the TV room floor. I have been told that with all boys this is "normal" and not to expect it to go away anytime soon. So I sit and watch as the jump and hit eachother. It is funny how fast Weston picked up on this, if the old two are playing Weston isn't too far behind.

Camp out!

Every Friday and Saturday night Bryson and Preston like to have a Camp Out on their bedroom floor. They stay up late, eat popcorn and watch a movie... then fall asleep. i went in this night and saw them in the same position and I thought it was too cute.
It reminded me of that part in the "Scarlet Letter" when the mother is talking about how peaceful her child looks while she is sleeping and then... she wakes up! Like most kids, the boys wake up and go... immediatly. I guess I like the quite times for just a little bit.

Cookies with Daddy!

Darren rarely will eat cookies and milk. But he stopped by the store to get dinner and came home with Chips Ahoy! Funny how men always have their own lists! Weston watched him dips his cookie in and then walked right over to Dad to do the same. Oh how fast they learn!

So this is taken at about 8:00 at night, Darren has hat hair and is ready for bed! Thanks for being a sport and letting me take your pic!

Dunkin' a cookie

Man this stuff is yummy!
