Easter 2011

We had a nice quiet Easter here this year, all decked out in our PINK (boys = less than amused).

Since our kids get up at the crack of dawn we were able to do our egg hunt, eat breakfast, shower AND leave for church at 840am. Then we had a fun breakfast with Grandparents Goshorn, Uncle Pete and Great-Grandparents Sawyer. All the kids kept asking in church (loudly) was "When are we leaving for the buffet?"

After lots of discussions that Jesus really doesn't care about the Easter Bunny because the day is about him rising from the dead and Will convincing himself the Easter Bunny wasn't coming because he saw rain on the forecast on TV, the kids were ELATED to find eggs and treats waiting for them on Sunday morning.


Sis did a good job this year and found just as many eggs as her brothers.

But they were excited to get new Reds visors! That Easter Bunny knows his stuff.

Of course it would not be a Goshorn Sunday without a hilarious moment in church. Andy told me that Jack leaned over to him during mass and asked "Dad? Who are the Christians?" Andy explained that we are the Christians and a Christian is anyone who believes in God and Jesus.
Jack's response?
"Oh. 'Cause I thought the Christians were the bad guys."
Yep. Our hard-earned dollars going to a Catholic Education. Gotta love it.

Hope you and yours had a wonderful Easter as well!
He is Risen - Alleluia!

PLAY BALL!

We started baseball season 2 weeks ago with the annual Opening Day parade and games! All this rain has hampered the season thus far, but Will managed to get one game opening day.

Our little T-Baller and AA League Player

Brooke is excited for the season, too!

Jack plays for the Indians

Will is on the Red Team

Look at that form!

Many more baseball updates to come, I'm sure!

Can You Hear It?!

The money falling out of my pocket, that is. Because it is official -

WE ARE RICH! NO MORE DIAPERS!

Brooke has been dry for 3 days in a row and has done both deeds on the potty with not so much as a mention of it until she was finished and yelled out "MOM! I went poopy!"

I started this on a whim 6 days ago.

Every time I tell Brooke how proud of her I am. She says to me with a smile
"Mommy? Am I getting bigger?!"

Ugh. Yes, she is getting bigger. And I don't have a baby anymore.
Well...unless you are talking about that new Louis I have my eye on...that could be my new baby....

Potty Training Update

Shout out to my Big Girl -
Underwear (the thick training kind - LOVE them!) ALL DAY - including being away from home from 815am until 115pm - and NO ACCIDENTS!

HOLLA!

So proud of my Big Girl!

Funny how getting your child to pee and poop on a toilet is seriously one of life's BIGGEST MOMENTS!!

Hope you are having big moments today, too!

Happy Easter

From these 3 beautiful kiddos!
I am one proud Mama!

I Hope This Doesn't Jinx Us...

But Miss Brooke has been running around naked from the waist down for 24 hours and has gone #1 8 times and #2 once.

ALLELUIA!!

I might have purchased my final package of diapers.

AFTER 6.5 YEARS...CONSISTENTLY.

I am seriously thinking a new Louis Vuitton is in order....
I got the money now, right?!

Proud of you, Baby Girl!

Ready for the Weekend

What a way to start it off yesterday with the Reds win - WOW!!

All my Hanover friends need to check out either my husband's Facebook page or find the Madison Courier online to read an AWESOME article about our fellow Hanoverians, Micah Shrewsberry and Kyle Getter, coaching against one another in the Final Four Game this weekend! You know we are BIG BULLDOG FANS here but amazing to think there will be a Panther representing at the Final Game again this year! Proud to be from HC!!

I am in Raleigh this weekend working so NOT HAPPY I will have to watch the ESPN ticker to get my updates about the game. The woes of a working woman...

And not happy I am here and I have a sick kiddo at home. Dad is working hard and earning major brownie points this weekend, along with "THE ROCK" Grandma Goshorn. What would I do without these 2??!!

Hope you all have a great weekend! GO DAWGS!!
