Workin for the weekend

This weekend Pada & Grandma came for a visit.

SO, we put em to work....

Sam taught Grandma how to pick weeds....

"No lunch until you get every last one of these up Grandma."

A rare family photo...

I think this picture is adorable & timeless...

and this one too.....

and this one..... (OK...maybe I'm bias.)

Bursting at the Seams

Literally

9mo jeans on my 3.5 mo old

Don't worry Luke,

I'm sure they are just labeled wrong

Whats Wrong with this picture?

A whole lotta Easter Pictures

We had a great Easter!

It started in Decatur with a Lawnmower ride....

(I'm pretty sure Sam was about to explode with excitement in this picture. I think his life peaked.)

A piano lesson....

and dying Easter Eggs.....

We had fun laughing with the whole family.....

and catching up on some much needed relaxation....

note the bed head

Boy time......

Pada time....

Sam met peaches aka "pea peas!" his new favorite pet.

Sorry Lainey.

And then we had an EASTER EGG HUNT!!!!!!

Thanks to Lucy for helping out!!!!!

Tractor break.....

Then back to action.

After all, there's treasure in those things!!!!

Checking out the goodies with Daddy.....

Then Sam took a walk for flowers with Grandma, Julia, Felicity & "Ictor"

Finally, we got out the wiggles before heading back to Cincinnati Saturday night.....

Good thing, because our car trip took an unplanned pit stop.

(Daddy was speeding!!)

On the road again.....

Back in Cincinnati Sunday morning we went to Grandpa's

For giggles....

And pictures!!!!

My matching boys!!!

Then we went home for a quick nap. While Sam was sleeping the Easter bunny came AGAIN!!!

(and for the first and last time ever due to the meltdown that followed, put candy in the basket.)

And the day ended with Grandma, a new matching outfit & playing outside.

What a great Easter!

Thanks to our whole family for making it such a special holiday.

We love you all....

Thompson Brothers

uh oh!!

I think there will be a lot of this in our couches future....

Here are a few recent pics of the boys...

Faux Easter

Tonight we had a group of friends over for an Easter Egg hunt! It was a blast! Here are all the kiddos post egg hunt, mid candy eating, and pre sugar crash on our deck!

Note 1- It's an Easter miracle all the kids were sitting for this picture

Note 2- Luke & Brice were too little for the picture.

Note 3 - If Phil I had twins and sextuplets...these would ALL be our kids.....

Sam, Lizzie & Pierce going after the more obvious eggs.....

2 parents & 6 kids climbing up a tree.... I don't like the odds here....

Sam & Dacie

"What, just cause I can't walk I don't get any candy?!?!?!"

Happy Birthday Big Pada

Love,

Sam & Little Pada

Translation: Happy Birthday Pada! Wish we were there to celebrate with you!
