This picture is like a right of passage for our kids. We have them for each of the boys! When Daddy (and brothers) go out to mow the lawn and the littlest is sad he doesn't get to be outside with them...

Caleb hates being left behind, and that most definitely includes when his big brothers go play in the back yard! We brought him outside in his walker today and he was IN HEAVEN!!!

I do not have a green thumb. I always forget to water my plants. But every year when the mosquitoes come out, I want to plant mosquito-repelent plants. And I end up reminding myself of my inability to keep plants alive. Today Conner and I planted marigolds! Isaac was going to help, but ended up pouting until the very end. We had fun!

We had a movie sleepover party with our (Powell and Cranmer) cousins! We watched The Little Rascals and played games and ate treats that went along with the movie!

The other snacks are pretty self explanatory if you've seen the movie...this is Petey's dog food :)

In the morning, the kids had fun playing outside!

This year for Carter and Tanner's birthday, we celebrated by going on a hike up Panther Canyon. It's more of a nature trail than a hike, but it's as close to a hike as you can get here in New Braunfels! We packed a picnic dinner and ate along the trail.

After our hike, Ammon decided we needed to go out for ice cream at Dairy Queen to complete our celebration. We don't say no to ice cream! It was such a fun evening, and I'm glad that we get to celebrate Carter and Tanner's much too short life.

Each year since moving to Texas, we have done a Cousins Easter Egg Hunt. This year, because of schedules, we had to do two. Today was our Eggett cousins Easter Egg Hunt.

There is a gymnastics gym near us that has "open play" for kids under the age of 5 each week. My kids love going! The gym sets up a new obstacle course each week, plus they have trampolines, a "ball" pit, things to climb, rope swing, and toddler toys (like ride ons and push toys).

Here is a video of Conner doing the obstacle course:

This weekend we went camping at Lockheart State Park with the Cranmer family. We didn't get very many pictures because we were too busy having fun! Our family loves camping! Here are the kids having a water fight:

Today we had our Dietz Cousins Easter Egg Hunt.

We do a pinata each year at Easter. Every year I grumble a little at the cost of the pinata AND all the candy, but it's all worth it when my boys (and their cousins) have such a fun time!

My boys sure love pinatas! But who doesn't?

Isaac decided he wanted to help pull the pinata up and down with Daddy!

Sadie is so strong that she broke the stick!

Conner's Preschool
This month Conner took an art class called "It's A Mess". It was mostly painting, which was a lot of fun!

This one they painted and then added glitter!

 This one involved finger print painting

 This one they added paint to shaving cream, and then painted with the shaving cream

 This one they put strips of tape on the paper, then painted. Once it was dry they took the tape off.

This one actually isn't paint. They put glue on the paper and then put colored sand on top.

This one they dipped a balloon in the paint, then smooshed the balloon onto the paper.

As a birthday gift to Elise and I, we took a little girls weekend to Waco! It was much colder than either one of us expected, so we had an adventure GoodWill shopping for warmer jackets! We went to the Magnolia Market, Silos, ate YUMMY cupcakes from the Silo Bakery, went to the movie theater (saw The Greatest Showman), rode a trolley, went out to eat, and did some shopping! We had so much fun!

We had a fun Valentine's Day! I hosted a Valentine's Day Party for our playgroup friends. All the kids pass out Valentine's to their friends, play and eat yummy snacks! It's always a lot of fun! Our family has fun exchanging surprises!

These are the cookies that the boys and I made for our Valentine's Party.

For dinner we had heart pizzas!

It's time to pull out the camera for some brother pictures!

Conner's Preschool
This school year Conner is taking city classes as his preschool. Our friend Aria takes the classes with Conner. They typically meet once a week for about 45 minutes. In January he took a science class. They got to make things like volcanoes, slime, lava lamps, color combing, foaming experiments. Here's some pictures!
