Happy Easter!

We hid eggs again this year for the boys and they had a blast hunting all over the yard for them. I was totally kicking myself because I only got 24 and we should have gotten at least 50 – they were having a ball and it was so fun to see their eyes light up when they found one. Henry was such a sweetheart too – if Will couldn’t get to one, Henry would pluck it up and put it in his bucket. My heart! And then of course they were begging to eat candy all day so it was no fun when we told them “No more!” I seriously can’t wait for Easter to get here next year to do it again.

 

Finding one in the corner
Henry was so excited - before we got them outside, he saw one sitting in the lemon tree and went crazy trying to get out to it
There's one!
We were helping him find the obvious ones so Henry couldn't nab them
This is one that Will found first but couldn't reach...Henry pulled it out and put it in his bucket - sooo cute
Having a ball
What's the count?
Finding one in the drain...
There it is!
Here ya go...
One in the pot where no plant can ever survive!
Yeah that plant's looking a little rough too...
Where's some more?
In the bird bath!?
Yay!
Will is looking for some in the kitchen!
Time for the booty!
Sugar high for Henry...
And then for Will! Happy Easter turkeys!

Dad Visits!

Tommy’s dad came down for a week to finally meet Will and catch up with all of us. We had a great time and the boys loved hanging out with him. We also did our traditional Sakura dinner where Henry freaked out over the fire from the grill, dove off the chair and plastered himself to the wall. It was pretty damn funny. =)

He of course came bearing gifts and didn't disappoint - He bought Henry an awesome remote control truck and Will a roller coaster car toy
Of course Henry was obsessed with Wills toy...it always works that way
And William wanted the truck - haha
Even Hexus got in on the action
Not sure what he did here, but he obviously got in trouble. He always smacks his forehead now when we scold him
That didn't last long! Look at that cheeser
Giving the floor a good mop
Such cuties!!
Thanks for coming Grandpa! We love you!

Date Night

We went out with our good buddies Spence and Shelley for a nice dinner and then a relaxed evening at her folks place. It was a lot of fun and nice to dress up for a change. We would have gotten pictures of them, but they are the fashionably late kind and we were going to miss our reservation so we only got a few. I just wanted to show you how nice Tommy cleans up…well, and me too for that matter! Haha.

All cleaned up and in some nice clothes! Yeah!
Tommy took this cool photo while we were waiting around for them to show up...
And this one too - this is finger rock on the north west side of town

 

Climbing

Lots o’ Bouldering!

Hey all…once again, apologies for the long hiatus between these posts. Just been really busy lately and trying to get outside as often as possible while the weather is nice. We had a super fun weekend. Took Grandpa to the Bloc (our bouldering gym) for the first time to let him see what we do there and also watch HENRY in action! It’s awesome – this kid is a natural, let me tell you! He’s doing moves already that are insane and he’s just so fun to watch…we need to find him some easy stuff to climb outside. Will has also started to try…he sees Henry climbing away and wants to get up there too, but of course he’s too little and not strong enough yet. But, I have no doubt that he’ll follow in Henry’s footsteps and start crushing really soon. Can’t wait!

Today we spent all afternoon up at a place called Hairpin. I’ve got a project I’m working on up there and then we had some buddies come up and climb with us. We found a really cool spot a ways up where we chilled out and tooled around. It was really beautiful and the boys loved it! Well, anyway, sorry for such a long wait for an updated post. I have a lot of pictures I need to put up – I’ll try and get those up in the next couple days. Hope everyone’s well out there!!

Gettin' on the treadwall
Will wanted to get up there so bad.
He loves getting high!
Look at those moves! =)
Full body harness time!
My heart!

I can't tell you how much I LOVE these guys that work at the gym. They are so sweet and amazing with our kids - every one of them who works there are like uncles to Henry and Will. Whenever we bring them in, they always hang out and play with them. LOVE.

This is one of our favorite guys...so so fun and funny!

Our good friend, Shelley and the boys
This was the last boulder we were on tonight but the one we spent the most time on cuz it was so fun!
A little pool of water from runoff down the mountain...the boys went crazy!

This is a girl we just met recently at the gym. She is CRAZY strong. I think she's going to be really good for me. Haha!
This picture gives you a better view of our set up...bouldering on a beach!
Here's Spence getting really high...
The sun left us a couple hours earlier...we didn't get out of there till dark. So nice.

New Years break is almost over…

Well, tonight’s our last night before things resume to normal tomorrow. We had a nice long break and got some good stuff done so it wasn’t all wasted. A couple months ago Tommy and I joined an MMA gym and have started taking Krav Maga classes. For those of you not familiar, it’s a form of self defense that is used primarily by the Israeli Defense Force. It is some super instense stuff!! We went last Friday and had Grandpa watch the boys while we were gone. When we got home, we discovered that they were forcing Grandpa to have wrestling matches and tag-teaming him! Ha ha! How fun. Here are some pics from that night and also tonight. Hope everyone is well out there and had a great New Year!
