APRIL 2009
April was a whirlwind with Pinki leaving, Keeneland, Teri's visit, tee ball starting, Easter and endless Easter egg hunts! Craziness. Owen is growing like a weed and his brothers are still doting on him! It is very cute.

"I love chocolate bunnies!"


"I also love chocolate bunnies and I tend to wear them on my face as well!"


The brothers three...cute as can be!


It was cold but we attended a breakfast with the works at Keeneland. Keeneland has 2 meets a year and each Saturday morning during those month-long meets they have a buffet breakfast during morning workouts for the kids with lots of fun activities.


"Look at me and my little bro!"


The weather was cool but sunny on Easter so we had to bring out the hammock. All 4 boys managed to take a short nap on it. It was very cute!


Owen in his Duck outfit for Easter...funnily enough, this was the outfit he wore when he came home from the hospital. He fits into it much better now!


We joined Davis and Donovan for a fun Easter egg hunt in our backyards. Now, this is a very cute picture of the 4 boys but I must explain the Corona beer box. We went to a friend's house the day before and she had an impromptu egg hunt. Well, she had a basket for Dylan but before she could find one for Colin, he took the Corona beer box we brought. So, this stuck....he was attached to that box and insisted on using it at the church Easter egg hunt as well as the one at home. It provided lots of comic relief!


Tee ball opening ceremonies! Yay...tee ball season is here and Dylan was back on the Indians. Dylan is the third from the left in the back row of kids. Yup...you guessed it, Jonny is in the feather headdress (very PC.....riiiight) in the back row on the very left! Colin cried the entire time Jonny had his face painted. As soon as the ceremony was over, Jonny had to wash it off before Colin would go near him!


Guess who got his training wheels taken off???? We took them off and he had a frustrating time once, a second frustrating time and the third time just clicked for him! Dylan is a bike riding machine! Jonny stopped running after him shortly after this pic was taken because he could no longer keep up!


Our good friend Teri from Philadelphia gave a talk at University of KY so she spent the weekend with us! Here she is with Dylan...I have a picture of her holding him when he was first born. Time flies!


Teri and Owen. Owen was going through a bit of a gassy period while she was here and I swear Teri is a baby-whisperer. She would calm him down so well!


April 20...so Owen and I were playing on the playmat (well, I am too big for it...Owen was playing on it) and he started to bring his legs up and roll onto his side. I said "Oh you are not ready to roll over yet...do not even try little man" and what does he do? He rolls over onto his stomach! He did that twice this day but has yet to repeat it. My guess is he got so ticked off when he was on his tummy that he decided he did not want to do it again!


Owen and Mommy just hanging out. Dylan was playing with the camera and took a pretty decent picture!


Another example of who is putting who to bed.


Owen has always been fascinated with his hands and I have said he is very expressive with them. However, I never thought he was THIS expressive so soon! Kids these days grow up so fast!


We bought a share in a community farm this year for the summer. This means that we will be getting fresh veggies once a week for about 20 weeks! YUM! They had an "open house" day when they invited all the shareholders to view the farm. The boys had a great time...especially with these very vocal turkeys.


Dylan just loves his newest little brother. He is really sweet with Owen and I get asked at least 2-3 times per day "Can I hold Owen, Mommy?"
