Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone!  The Drums started the day bright and early with the 6:30 a.m. (yes, I said a.m.) mass at St. Clare.  After that, it was time for some Easter Bunny fun!!!

The kids dressed in their Easter best! 

 We are ready to get started!!!!

 

No, he isn't flicking you off, he is showing you his money!

Time to look for some eggs!!!!

 

 

After some time digesting all or candy and dinner, we decided to go and try out our new kites that the Easter Bunny brought us.  Zoe wasn't quite sure about the whole situation, but J.T. took right to it and had a great time!

Suprise Easter Egg Hunt

Today was the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Surprise Stadium.  Zoe was in the first group of 1-2 year olds and J.T. had is own group of 5-year olds a bit later in the morning.  The kids always have a great time at this event!!

 Zoe in line and getting ready to start.

Zoe didn't like bugs on her eggs, that is why she is waving her hand at them!

After the Easter Egg Hunt, it was time to come home and color our Easter Eggs.  We are so excited for the Bunny to come tonight!

Aggies Game 2

Today was the Aggies second game and J.T. played well.  He got to field at first base.  We need a little work, but he gets better every game!

Warming up

Pre-game pep talk

J.T. Skating

I haven't posted many videos, lately, of J.T. skating.  So, here are some of the latest from his Hockey Tot 2 class that he has on Wednesday nights.  Last night was the first night he was fully padded and he adjusted very well.  That is a mom's opinion, of course, but I thought he looked very comfortable out there!

 Test out our equipment on Sunday, after we bought it.

Ready to head out on the ice!

Ultrasound 19 weeks 2 days

Today was Pumpkin's big ultrasound and we brought along both kids.  Zoe was a little more interested in the fish lamp in the office, but J.T. was enthralled!  He kept asking to see the 3D pictures.  Pumpkin was not all that cooperative, so it was hard to get a lot of good pics, but we got a few.  This little one likes to rattle and roll.  I am in for it when the belly starts to get too small!!!

The doctor said everything looked good and Pumpkin looked very healthy.  Baby is measuring in 4 days ahead of schedule.  Wonder if we will hit 10 pounds with this one?!?!?  YIKES!!

Big Feet!!!

T-ball and Riding our Bikes

Today was J.T.'s first game as a Texas A&M Aggie!  He played great and so did the rest of the team.  John did a wonderful job coaching as well.  J.T.'s friend, Shane, even came to watch. 

J.T. and the rest of the Aggies (minus 1)

J.T.'s biggest fan, eating her chips!

When we arrived home, we told J.T. that his friend, Shane, had been riding his bike without his training wheels for a couple of weeks now.  He decided, right then and there, that he wanted to ride his bike without his training wheels.  So, we headed off to the grass hill for some practice. 

He did it!!!!

We started off a little shaky, but it didn't take long to catch on.

He was pretty determined that he was going to do this, and boy did he!

Spring Jam Fest

Tonight was J.T.'s Spring Jam Fest concert at his pre-school and he was awesome!  Sorry the pictures are not better quality, but it was so dark in there and the flash was not my friend.

 Getting ready to head to his classroom before the concert.
