leprachauns.
The leprachauns visited our house for St. Patty's Day. They turned our milk green and left a treasure hunt for the boys. The treasure was a ton of green cookies. I made the boys some straws with orange mustaches on them so they would look like leprachauns when they drank their milk! The boys were very reluctant to try our green milk. We had green bread that night for dinner and green pancakes the next morning from the green milk. After awhile Matt refused to use the green milk on his cereal because it was too weird! I guess there is only so much green milk a man can take.

The Easter Bunny brought lots of prizes! I put cute Elle in my little bunny pajamas from when I was a little girl. She loved her easter egg. E.B. even found the colored eggs on the counter and hid them around the house for the boys to find. I bought the boys their first suits. They looked so handsome in their three piece suits and new shoes. And Elle was scrumptous in her peach Easter dress from Grams. I wore my new dress I got back in December and saved just for Easter. And E.B. brought Matt a new tie that was plaid and pink. We spent the day with my family and Carrie, Kaylee and Madison at my parents'. The kids did a fun easter egg hunt and had a great time with all of their cousins. Bentley asked me, "Mom do you know who my favorite cousin is? When I asked "Who?" he told me, "ALL of them!" The boys didn't last too long after church with their suits on but Uncle Marvin worked his magic with the camera and took some pictures of Elle for her first birthday. Janni told me she didn't do anything to the color of her eyes when she edited the pictures. She asked if they are always that blue. They really are that blue.
B's birthday.
Bentley turned 6 on April 2nd. The first thing he wanted to open on his birthday was his card from Aunt Faith. He knew it would be a singing card! We decided to get the kids passes to Disneyland for their birthdays so I got him a Jake to hold his card. After school I took him, Gaige and his friend Cash to McDonalds. Then they played outside with friends and his new super soaker till it was time for their baseball game. He did a great job in his game hitting the ball. He still isn't much into running or paying attention. This kid has no fast button. But he has a ton of potential. I brought baseball cupcakes for their game treat and then we went to Ruby's with Daddy for dinner. It was the girl's birthday in the booth behind us so the staff came out and sang to her and brought her a sundae. He said he did not want to do that to him. We had them do it anyway and the look on his face was classic! He was embarassed and excited at the same time.
elle's first birthday.
Elle turned one on April 6th. This year has gone by so incredibly fast. I cannot even believe she has been part of our family for an entire year. This year with her has been so much fun. She is an amazing little lady. I asked Bentley what our lives would be like without her. He told me it would be sad. We all love her to pieces! We had tons of family and friends come celebrate her birthday. She loved her cake and ate it daintily, but with excitement! SHE IS SO PRETTY!
Needless to say we have been busy around here. I will not know what to do with myself when April is over! It is the craziest month of the year for us!
