Hexberg Clan in town

Over the Easter break all of Haws' siblings came into town. It was fun seeing them all, it's been years since we were all together. We took Hexberg family pictures while they were here and it was surreal... during the big family shot not a single kid was crying or running away! I am anxious to see how they turned out. Although I didn't get many pictures with all of us together, I like these ones of all the kids looking at the huge fish tank where we went to dinner. Thor is the only one I could get to look at me.

New Bike Trailer

We got a new bike trailer from my parents for Davis' birthday.

He enjoyed the ride, but he was not very happy about wearing the helmet.

Brotherly love

Just a few videos of the boys.

James love feeding Davis

James has recently decided that he doesn't need a nap everyday (although he probably still does). On the days he doesn't nap, things like this happen:

Disneyland pics

We go to Disneyland almost once a week. Gotta get as much use out of our passes as we can because we probably won't renew for a while.

James ended up getting sick while we were at disneyland and threw up 2 times at the park. The disneyland workers were great! They took care of the mess and offered to give him a change of clothes. I had brought his PJs, so we didn't need them, but they came and found us and gave James 4 cars buttons. 

First time on autopia... he ended up driving of course.

Dirt and Trucks

One of James' favorite past times is playing with his trucks in the dirt. Davis is the perfect observer.

This is the boys having some fun at Nana and Bop's house. And no, this wasn't Christmas time despite Davis' pjs. It was Easter.

We survived Tax season!

Tax season was not as horrible as I thought it was going to be, but it did have it's moments. It was hard being a single parent and I think it was even harder on Haws to go days with out seeing the kids. The kids seemed to be effected as well. Suddenly James has grown very attached to me and clings onto me and cries if I have to go somewhere. Some days everyone is just emotional. I have had to really learn to practice more patience. Some days that is easier than others. We tried to keep busy and spent time with friends and family.

But some days looked like this:

Or this

Is it horrible that sometimes during meltdowns I can't stop myself from giggling? It is the only thing that keeps me sain.

Slide fun

My boys love slides! I love these play by play pictures of them playing on our little slide. 

"James, go down backwards!"

"Here, I will help you". Mom: "this is not a good idea".

"Here I come!"

"Hahaha... that was fun!"

And this video of James going down the big slide at the bounce house cracks me up.
