At the least the Easter Bunny was cute......Scooby Doo was a bit freaky, though!

Leavenworth Easter Parade

These are a few shots from the Easter Parade downtown. They tried, but it really was the most pathetic parade we'd ever seen. Granted, we came from Louisiana where parades are pretty great! The characters were a little scary looking too! But, all in all, the little boys didn't care and had a great time. The rest of us got a good laugh!!

These views are from our balcony....

Wyndham "The Meadows"

We have been timeshare owners for about 2 1/2 years, and have been on some great trips because of it. This is at Branson "The Meadows". It was a beautiful place, as are the other Branson locations. We have oodles of points, so if you're planning a trip, give us a call~we'll see if we can get a reservation for you. We rent cheap!!

This is the boys' bathroom, looking from the foyer into the boys' bedroom

The kitchen~wish mine was this big!!

Looking in from the foyer

So Baaad!

So, Colton watched the boys a couple nights before we left on our trip, and he was a cool big brother. The little guys loved their new tattoos. They also loved posing with them! I have to say, they were pretty hard to wash off and remained for a couple weeks!

Branson with the boys........

Here are a few snapshots from our Spring Break Trip with the boys. Unfortunately, it was very cold in Branson in April! We still had a great time though, we even stayed an extra day!

The little boys in the giant whirlpool tub.
The car ride......

You Can't See Me!

I think the boots really do something for the outfit, how about you?!

Spring Break

We had to take two separate Spring Vacations this year, as Caitlyn's was three weeks earlier than the boys'. I took her, her friend, Shelby, and Ty to Branson for a few days. Daddy stayed home with Colton and Tucker, and I think they had some fun "guy" time. Tucker wasn't thrilled for me to go without him, but his behavior at school sure was good while I was gone!

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera very handy for most of the trip. I think the girls took lots, but I've yet to have them emailed to me.....hmmm......

We went to the Titanic museum, which is really cool. They don't let you take pics inside though, so here's the outside! We also did some go-carting and swimming. Otherwise, it was pretty uneventful, but a really nice time away!

Gangsta

These kinda speak for themselves.............

PBR-Kansas City

In March, the PBR visited Kansas City, and of course, the boys were very excited to go. Here's just a few of the many pics we took. After the event, we got an opportunity for autographs and photos. Ty crashed into the "no-nap wall" by the end of the event and was having no part of any photo sessions! Tucker, however, was all about the pics!

Show Opening

Notice the pouting going on in the background. Ty wanted no part of mom or dad. He was very content to sit on Caroline's lap. We were there with some friends from the barn, the Lanier's. Caroline is one of their daughters.

One of our new favorites, Ryan Dirteater. Yes, you read right~a bullrider named Dirteater. Pretty cool name, huh?! Unfortunately, the event after this one put him out for the season. Bummer.

Cord McCoy, another one that Tucker loves! This is so much better than him idolizing some of the ridiculously high paid and morally questionable NFL and NBA stars!

Warrior Wrestling

Tucker wrestled on the Youth Services team this winter. Some days he enjoyed it, other days he didn't. This was a good day at his last meet. We're hoping we can convince him to try again next year. It was fun to watch him get so determined about something, but we definitely need to make him a bit more aggressive. We were happy that he tried his best, and didn't cry when he lost. He was happy as could be each time he walked off the mat. He had a blast!

Let it snow!

We had a long, cold winter here in Kansas, but had very little snow to show for it. A good snow in early December and a good fall a time or two that went away in a day were all we'd really seen. So, the Pearce family was hoping for one more good snow before Spring, and we got it! We had a great time playing in the snow at home, and the next day, Daddy took the two older boys to "Suicide Hill". No camera involved in that one, but they had a great time!

He 'snow' angel!!

Ornery or what?!

We recycle our kids around here!

This is my favorite. He's running away~at 2. I told him it was time to go in, and there he went! Oh, the things we have to look forward to!!

Ty

Ty is prone to accidents and lots of marks on his cute little face. It seems just as one thing gets healed, something else happens. Shortly after he smashed his toe and lost his toenail, he took a dive at his music and art class. He landed chin first into the corner of a trunk full of dress up clothes. Looking back, it probably should have had stitches, but we put a butterfly on it instead. It was pretty ugly for a week or two. Maderma has helped the scar significantly. I highly recommend it! After that finally healed, he got a killer cold sore. It never ends!! The last pic has no injuries, I just think its cute.

Get Ready, Get Set, Blog!!!!

It's been awhile since I posted any pics, so its taken me a few hours to go through the pics for the past two and a half months and I'm ready to get blogging! It may take me a day or two to get them all on here.....Enjoy!

Soon, very soon

Ok, so no pics yet, but here's a note. Things have been crazy around here. After a very cold, but great Spring Break we were eyeball deep in taxes. Mike and are (well, he would say its all me) are terrible procrastinators and finally got them done and sent on April 15th. Since then, we've been playing catch up on all that was avoided while we were doing taxes!! I had a weekend full of shows, and we're hoping that as of today, life is resuming to whatever "normal" is around here. So, my top two priorities this week are getting ready for our annual Post-Wide Spring yard Sale next Saturday and updating this blog with all the pictures you can handle!!!! I'm hoping my computer will cooperate, as I've been having an awful time with it the past week or two. I keep thinking I should take it to the computer doctor before it dies. Keep your fingers crossed! Mike has one too, so for the most part, if I lost anything, it wouldn't be the end of the world. That is with the exception of all of my Pampered Chef programs and contacts. Now that, would be very, very bad.

Have a wonderful Sunday, and a great week ahead!

ALIVE!!

Yes, we are alive!! Since my sister and mother have been on me for weeks to update this blog, I thought I better finally write a note. One of these days I'll get around to posting pics, there are alot of them, but for now, you'll have to be satisfied with just a note........We're all doing well, but nothing particularly exciting going on. There are currently no practices, games, or school activities. YEAH!! We are enjoying spring, but wishing it would just stay spring, and not keep reverting to winter!!

We are getting ready to head to Branson for a few days, as the boys are on Spring Break next week. We'll pray for great weather! Hopefully, before we take off, I can get some pics on here, but if not, I promise I'll do it after we return next Tuesday.

Take care!

More Party Pics....

Tucker and Daddy bowling

"Happy Birthday to you......"

Smile!

Happy Birthday, Colton!

Colton's 14th birthday was last Tuesday, and on Thursday, he had a pizza and bowling party. It was fun for us to plan a party for him, as I've never been able to celebrate his birthday in person, and Mike hasn't been able to since Colton was two. We had a lot of fun, and I think Colton and his friends had a great time.

Colton wanted a snowboarding themed cake, and once again, as she did for Ty and Tucker, our neighbor, Heidi, outdid herself!!!! The cake was so cool!!!
