School Easter Egg Hunt

Phew ... we made it to Thursday and the Easter Egg Hunt at school. We have seen WAY better weeks in the Geshke house. Graham had a 4 day stomache bug and Carter fell and bit his tongue so badly that it sends shivers down my spine every time I look at it. He was in a lot of pain shortly after it happened but he's happy and surprisingly eating fine. All the boys had fun at their hunt ... Luke was the least into it, which did not surprise me one bit. We've got a few more hunts over the next few days and are looking forward to our Easter weekend. I was saying something to Graham about Sunday and that it was Easter and then I asked him if he new what was special about Easter, and he replied with a big smile, "Jesus is alive!" Amen to that, sweet boy :)

Carter filling up his "baket"

Luke not caring one bit about finding "balls"

Luke's is obviously the yellow basket ... Carter is trying to give it to him but all Luke wants to do is swing

Graham is excited about his big egg

I had to add this last shot of them watching Graham's hunt ... they take their shoes AND socks off ALL the time ... it drives me CRAZY!!!!!!

What are they doing in there?!?!

I often wonder what Luke and Carter are doing when they are in their room and they are just jabbering back and forth ... maybe it looks a little something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY

The First Day of the Rest of my Life

I'm afraid that this past Sat. was the first day of the rest of my life ... Graham had his first soccer game. I can only imagine how many sporting events I will attend for my boys over the next 20+ years!! He looked ADORABLE in his uniform and had a blast. He followed the rules well, was excited to play when it was his turn, and was fine to sit out when it wasn't his turn to play. And of course, he LOVED the snack and juice box after the game :)

He looks so old to me in this pic

Go Purple Team!!

Spring Break in Memphis

I took the boys to Memphis for Spring Break and boy did we have a GREAT time!! We got to spend lots of time with all 4 grandparents and aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, too. I even got a bit spoiled, myself :) Thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful trip.

All the boys loved Polaris rides through the woods

Melting my heart

That's what these little boys of mine do best!!!! I know I am completely biased, but Luke and Carter are the absolute cutest things in the whole world. I JUST WANT TO EAT THEM UP!!!!!!!! They also have a fabulous role model, Graham ... I was swinging him today and our conversation went like this:

Me: Do you know who I love?

Graham: Who?

Me: You

G: Do you know who I love?
Me: Who?

G: You and Daddy and Luke and Carter. Pauses for a few seconds and says, Do you know who else I love?

Me: Who?

G: God and Jesus

God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave me these 3 precious little boys to love and mold to become men after His own heart. They truly do melt a little more and more of my heart everyday :)

Lego Land

Graham has gotten VERY into his legos lately ... which is especially great for me since he is not napping very much these days. He always has new buildings, airplanes, cars, etc. built when I let him out of his room at 3. And he has shed quite a few tears when Luke and/or Carter sneak into his room and knock them down. My neighbor told me that she heard Atlanta is opening up a Lego Land ... we will definitely have to hit it up sometime soon :)

His airplanes

Luke LOVES shoes ... he looked like such an old man shuffling around in these pjs and shoes :)

Mary and Marsha

On our way home from church yesterday, we looked at Graham's picture and craft and were asking him questions about them and what he learned. He told us that Jesus helped a man not be dead anymore. We asked if he knew the man's name and he said "Lazzzz ...." We helped him out by asking him if it was Lazarus and he said yes. Then we asked him about the two girls in the picture ... he said, "They're crying. They're so sad." We asked if he knew their names, and he said, "Yes. Mary and Marsha." Kevin and I just looked and each other and chuckled :)
