From snow to swimming weather...

Typical Chicago spring around here.  One day we're wearing shorts, next day it's back to winter coats.  Oh well, we're enjoying it!  Bamma's been up to her usual awesome projects...
 I've been muttering about April snow...
 And we had Xavier for a fun Friday!
 The 3 man bob on the way to pick up Noah was a workout for me!
 Sam did an excellent job feeding his cousin.
 Noah used his birthday money to buy a new, big bike!
 Isaac tried out a golf set while we watch the Masters.
 Another fun one from Bamma, pipe cleaner animals!
 Our two soccer studs got to work last week with practices, etc.
 This is Isaac's first go at anything organized, he is LOVING it!
 Sam had a family Friday at school during which Isaac and I were able to visit.  Isaac jumped right in and sat with the class like he belonged there (Sam in red, Isaac next to him in black)!
 Sam has been so happy to have the nice weather.  Making progress on his beloved dirt pile.
 We had nice weather for the annual fish release at Turner Pond!
 Come on fish, let's get you into the pond!

 It was a big hit with all the kids!

 Before leaving Mike on duty with the boys on Saturday night, I sent him this picture as a threat.  He was less than amused I think.
 Homemade pizzas with Philie, Kelly, and Ginger, so fun!
 We introduced Ginger to how we cook in the midwest.  Melt one whole stick of butter...  She was horrified.  But that didn't stop us from eating a delicious skillet cookie!
 Preparing for a shirts/skins game on the court, the weather has had some ups for sure!
 I'm not sure who enjoys Uncle Josh's visits the most, wait, actually I do...
 More outside time for the goof!
 I received this picture at work from our nanny, I love his shorts/boots look.  Hilarious!
 And today, Saturday, Sam had his first soccer game.  It was a complete bloodbath with his team winning something like 15-0.  He was nervous but did a great job!  Way to go Sam!
