Merry Christmas from the Rays!

 Our Sweet little Man

He absolutely loved Christmas this year.

What a fun time to have little ones that are so excited to see the light and the magic of the season.  isn't that what it is really all about?

Our fun boys on Christmas eve.  They were being Santa and his reindeer.

James started tackle football.  He played corner and tight end.  It was very fun and a lot of work.   They had a huge team that played really well.  It was a great experience for him. And I am starting to understand football-a little.

 This weekend we went camping.  I love camping.  It is fun to be outdoors and spend time with the boys.  Even if it was snowing.

 It was Joey's first camping trip and he loved it.  He started crawling.  Every time we'd lay him down in the trailer to sleep he'd try to crawl out of it. 

He loved being outside.

 It looks cold.

 Just chilling around the fire.

The cold didn't bother the boys.  They loved playing in the dirt and riding motorcycles.  

What else does a boy need?

Spring

This weekend it was so beautiful.  

Finally the sun was shining. 

I was in the mood to capture life through my camera.

Luckily my beautiful nieces were willing to play along.

I love these girls.

They are beautiful inside and out.

 I think that we are in trouble

 Big trouble

Joey's chew toy of choice is a motorcycle hand grip.

 Easter egg coloring!!! We love coloring Easter eggs.

( Especially with no carpet-sorry I really love my new kitchen)

 The boys get really into it and I am so glad that they do.  I hope that they don't grow out of it too soon.

We went to the town Easter egg hunt this year and it was the last year that James was allowed to fight for those eggs.  And he was not going to do it.  Luckily all of that candy called loud enough for him to hear and he gave in.  No basket though, just pockets.  And notice how they were bulging.

 We sure are grateful for cousins.

 The bunny really cheeped Jake out.

 This year the Easter bunny was a stinker and made the kids follow a string throughout the house to find where their baskets were hidden. 

 It was fun to follow the web through out the whole house.

 Joey loves to play with those brothers.

 James was all for the candy that was in the back yard. 

 It is so fun to see them be silly.

I love Easter.  It was a great day.
