Field Trip at it's Finest!

Trey's preschool class had a wonderful adventure today. They went on a field trip to Bern's Steakhouse. This was arranged by DH due to this week being "career week" at preschool. So instead of DH coming into the classroom and showing the kiddies his job he actually took them to the restaurant. Trey loved showing off his daddy. I was extremely happy to see my DH at his job without a hundred patrons in the restaurant. I could really take time and see the inside of Bern's.






















HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLIE.......MY SWEET, WONDERFUL, ADORABLE, BEAUTIFUL, SEXY SISTER!!!

Easter

The finale to a great three day weekend.......EASTER!!! The boys were up bright and early. Easter basket were ohh'ed and ahh'ed. Then off to breakfast while daddy(a.k.a. The Easter Bunny) hid the eggs outside. Looking for eggs is so much fun. I love watching them run everywhere with huge smiles. Church came next. Then......the best part for my boys....Uncle Carl's house. My uncle spoils my boys and I love it. I remember Uncle Carl visiting when I was a young girl. He always brought so much excitement and fun to the house. I always thought he was the best uncle and now my boys get to feel the same way. They love Uncle Carl and all his full of life antics. They boys also got spoiled by their Aunt Leslie and Haley. They each got a basket full of goodies from them as well. Haley was not forgotten by her uncle and aunt.......she is my only niece!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Egg Saturday

Coloring eggs was the theme for the morning. It is a tradition that Grammy colors eggs with the boys. We all get into the coloring....at least one per adult. The rest is for the kiddies.



Grammy always finds new things for the coloring day. The egg holder will spin the egg around to color all sides. This contraption really works!




























The finished products. The Hydocks are one creative bunch!























GOOD FRIDAY!!!


Off to the zoo. The whole family went along with a few friends. It was a really nice day outdoors. Not too hot and muggy. It was nice to relax on God's special day with DH, the boys and friends. Now you may wonder how the zoo fits into Good Friday. This is my thinking.......the family was together and we enjoyed God's special gifts. All the animals and plants of the zoo. Take a look at God's unique animals.

Some kind of stork or pelican(I forgot)





















Okapi

















Turkey

















Vulture





















And my favorite photo of the Orangutans. Notice the baby nursing. So natural and wonderful. AHHHH.....nothing like mom's milk!



















CHURCH
That evening the boys and I went to church at BayLife for a Good Friday service. Evan and Trey took their first communion. It was a special moment for me to be witness to this.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Drive-In

The boys and I went to the Ruskin Drive-In with a few friends. We saw 'Horton Hears A Who'. It was really cute. The boys had a blast at the drive-in. Evan was really unsure about the idea when I mentioned it friday morning. But he has since come around and asked when we can go again.

Strawberry Picking

Trey's preschool class went on a field trip to Fancy Farms in Plant City. The strawberries were a variety called 'Treasure'. They were oh so sweet and juicy. The owner encouraged all the kiddies to try out the fruit when they were picking. I can't remember when I had a really good berry picked right off the plant. It was a fun day with Trey and his classmates.

Nighty Night!

This past weekend was really busy. Zane missed naps but that did not seem to faze him. When he needs his nap he just sleeps(anywhere and anyhow). And if you are really wondering he WAS FAST ASLEEP!!
