Easter at Mimi's House

We went to Oklahoma for Easter this year to see the boys Great-grandmother. We had a great time visting family (my aunt, uncle, and cousins live there too) and seeing all of Mimi's friends. She lives in a retirement community that is strangely similar to a college dorm--they all have their own apartments, but they all eat downstairs together (a lot better food than a college dining hall though--no offense Bolton) and they leave each other messages on boards on their doors. I loved that freshman year in college. I guess life does kind of cirlce around....

But the boys had a great time seeing Mimi--they played golf, hunted Easter eggs, read books, got "coffee" (another cool thing--they have a cappacino machine downstairs in the lobby--Everett and Reid just got hot chocolate), watching movies, and last, but definitely not least, playing games and eating popcorn. Those people can put away some popcorn. Reid steam shovels it into his mouth, as fast as you could possibly eat it one piece at a time (because that's the rule). And I know where he gets it from--my mom and grandmother were right there with him, although they could eat more than one piece if they chose to do so.

All in all we had a wonderful trip out there and are so thankful that we get to see Mimi so much, even though she is so far away!!!

First Soccer Game

Here is Everett after his first soccer game. He ablsolutely LOVED it! We had to drag him off the field! All of the practices this season and the first game were rained out, so this was the first time he had set foot on a soccer field. I had no idea how this would turn out--would he be that kid who was running the wrong way, or maybe not running at all and just playing with the grass? But no, he did GREAT! He even co-scored (we are not really sure whose foot actually kicked it--there were a bunch of them flying around out there)--the first goal of the game!

My boy's got some moves.......
