Okay, first things first: doesn't our Lukey have the cutest smile ever? That grin has helped him escape punishment on many occasions and I anticipate that we will be seeing more of it as time goes on (to explain how the window got broken, to get his hands on the car keys, etc).
In March, I took Grant and Tate to the mother/son superhero social put on by the school district each year. It is such a fun activity and I love going with my cute boys. The biggest hit of the night is the laser tag area but the bounce houses, candy, and cool music made the evening even more fun.
Grant rocked it with the laser gun.
I had no idea when we took this picture that we were about to become the victims of domestic abuse, Hulk-style (j/k, it was just a paper cutout, silly).
A typical evening in the Wood household consists of wrestling Daddy or letting him be a horsie. However, it's usually pretty slow going because the boys are always right on the verge of falling off one side or the other during the ride. This was one of three seconds that all three boys stayed balanced on Ryan's back at the same time.
Ryan grew another year older, wiser and more ruggedly handsome. Thankfully Luke was there to assist with the candle blowing (these things get harder with age).
The ward planned an Easter Egg hunt for the Saturday before Easter and I use the word "hunt" very loosely since it was basically a huge lawn with tons of colorful eggs laying on the ground in plain sight for the younger kids. The older kids had to actually hunt for their eggs in a more wooded area near the small river. It was a beautiful spring day so I had to capture the moment with lots of pictures.
We are usually pretty controlling over how much candy the boys can eat at one time but we decided to let the boys go to town on their baskets right after the egg hunt. After all, what better way to commemorate the Atonement of Jesus Christ than by gorging on chocolate from colorful eggs that are brought to us by a giant rabbit...???
It was actually nice to have less candy at home, but pretty scarey to imagine the amount of sugar pumping through their little circulatory systems.
My sweet family on Easter Sunday. I love Ryan and the boys so much and am so grateful that we can be a family forever! I know this is possible because of the Savior and I am so grateful for His life and sacrifice for us!
