Funny Boys

They are a lot of work, but they sure make me laugh. Hope you enjoy the pictures of Ryan smiling, Tyler after a long day of work on the farm and Ivan trying out a cool hair-do.

Ivan's Gold Medal

Ivan earned a gold medal and certificated today for knowing the sound that every letter makes. His teacher focuses on getting ready to read so he has been learning the sounds the letters make instead of their names. Pretty smart, can't read unless you know B says "buh". He has been doing great in preschool, a little slow at first but he is now learning really quickly. He will be ready to go to kindergarten this fall.

Happy Easter

It was a beautiful Spring day today and we had a great Easter. Yesterday we dyed Easter Eggs. Dye was spilled, boys were crying and the brown eggs didn't take color very well. Its a little difficult to have the fun process I remembered as a kid, but looking back I guess I was 10 years old and grandma had a "system". The Easter bunny froze his tale off putting eggs out at 7 am but it was worth it to see the boys excitement when they found them. Both the boys ate enough sugar to send them into a coma but enjoyed it. Tyler has come out with a new fashion statement for riding attire. Ivan was very happy to see a big basket of candy. I dressed Ryan in the cutest little outfit, then he stuck his finger down his throat and puked all over it before we made it to dinner. At least I got a picture! I'm ready for a little peace and quiet now and maybe just one more deviled egg...
