65 Years and Counting

Grandma & Grandpa Bane were celebrating their 65th Wedding Anniversary.  That is much to big of a milestone to not celebrate.  We opted to have a party for them at our home with all the immediate family.  We were lucky enough to get the entire family all together to celebrate.

Tate found some good food too!

These two are best buddies.  They definitely have a special place in their heart for each other.

Easter Celebrations - Egg Hunts, Family, Food, and Kite Flying

Family picture before Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday night.  Had to take advantage of our blooming Bradford Pear tree. 

Happy Easter Morning!  The Easter Bunny stopped by our house and filled our baskets full of goodies. 

Devin found a new book, water bottle, and resistance band in his basket.  Of course, there was a little candy, but just a little.  Devin was happy to see some chocolate in his basket.  He not only gave up pancakes for Lent, but also candy.

Tate was also excited to find a resistance band in his Easter basket.  Both boys have been excising with me every evening.  They had been wishing for some weights or resistance bands for months.  Tate was also glad to find some candy in his basket.  Tate gave up popcorn & candy for Lent. 

Out searching for all of his Easter Eggs.  The Easter bunny left a note stating that Tate's eggs were green and orange.  They each had 20 eggs to find.

Running to find the next egg.  Such excitement!

Devin was hunting for blue and yellow Easter eggs.  His were a little harder to find.  He really had to hunt for his more this year. 

Excited to hunting eggs!

Checking out all of his treasures in each egg.

We decided to get a few family pictures.

Before eating lunch, Devin had pulled out our kites.  They had trouble before lunch getting them to fly.  Once we were done with dinner, we headed out to see if we might have better luck.  Without to much effort we were able to get them to fly.  Uncle Eric and Xavier flew kites together. 

The wind was gusty at times and would really pull you at times. 

Brotherly love!  I think we all enjoyed being outside on such a wonderful Spring Day. 

Grandpa Wolsing helping to teach Devin how to fly one of the kites. 

We were able to get both kites up and flying at the same time.  We didn't have too many crashes.



Tate's turn to fly the kite with Grandpa.  He was really starting to get the hang of things.  The wind at times, would just about pull him over.

Family Picture


Look closely - When did I get a son old enough to find bunny ears funny.  Devin's face is priceless.  he really thought he was getting away with something, but the camera caught him.

Luckily we got a nice family picture without bunny ears.

We were using my new camera with WiFi.  You can actually control the camera with an app on your phone.  Devin was begging to take some pictures.  I turned my phone over to him and this moment happened.  We hear Devin say- "put your hands in the air, like you just do not care".  Mom and I did just that and caught a pretty funny moment.

Party Preparations & Mario Birthday Party

Devin picked the theme for his birthday party and decided he wanted a Mario Party.  We first had to start with the invitations.  Devin was a big help coming up with the design and helping to put them together. 

We had a great time crafting together.  He is a big help!

Love how they turned out.  Just like the game!

Next, we moved onto class treats.  Devin decided he wanted to make and decorate cookies.  We used the mushroom and colored sugar.  Happy with how they turned out.

Super cute Mario Mushroom Cookies!



Love, Love, Love how the cake turned out.  Tracy always takes my ideas and turns them into magical cakes.  Devin and all our guest were so impressed with the cake.

Birthday Shenanigans thanks to Uncle Matt.  He is one great photo bomber!  Devin has no clue.

Look at this great group of kiddos!  Addy, Quinn, Devin, Tate and Lexi!  They all get along so well and love playing together.  

Devin & Tate. Look at all those candles.

Preparing to blow out his candles.  Not sure if he got a big enough breath!!!

No surprise....he blew them all out on the first try!  Hopefully he made a good wish.  

Then we moved on to presents.

We was so excited.  He got Mario Cart for the Wii.

Mine Craft Lego's - another great gift.  He spent the next couple of days putting it all together.

Grandma & Grandpa Bane with Devin on his birthday.  We were so glad they were able to come.  We enjoy sharing these special moments with them!

Family Photo - Not everyone was feeling this photo and it kinda shows, but hey, proof we were all there having a great time!
