Annual St. Dizier Good Friday Crawfish Boil

Gabe and Alex tormenting the crawfish


It took Eli a few minutes to get these critters to cooperate with him

I think the crawfish win this battle with Alex

First Swim of the Summer

Eli talked Alex into jumping into the pool behind him.   It was so cute to 
watch them holding hands and counting down the jump. 
The well planned leap.

Alex tried to change his mind but Eli would have none of that.  Eli hung onto Alex for
dear life and went off the board with Alex in tow.
 Eli went in feet first and Alex went in---well you can see how he broke the water's surface.
Both came up sputtering and laughing. 

FYI:  The wind was blowing and the water was freezing.  These little boys are made
of steel.  They walked to the water's edge and jump in.  Never once did either
one of them mention being cold even though they were turning purple.

Their Own Little Piece of Ground



                      Alex and Eli helped me dig up bulbs from this bed last week.  
They confiscated the bed to do some digging of their own. 
Alex told me he was going to be planting corn and tomatoes. 
Hope they share.

New Boots




The Easter Bunny brought an early Easter present to Alex and Eli.
They were so excited about their boots.  Supposedly, they can
only wear them on special occasions and to church.  Let's see
how long that lasts................

The Boys and I


The boys sat still just long enough to have Claire take a picture of the three of us.
Usually I'm behind the camera and they're fishing. No time for posed pictures with these two.

Climbing the fence



First the little fingers


Then the little face






This is their new playground.  They love to climb the fence and
pretend they are climbing a mountain. 
 I have to say, they're pretty good at pretending.
