Fish, Food and Flowers

Well, in addition to his spiders we got Porter a couple of goldfish when we went to Petsmart for some free dog food. He just loves them to death (Literally? He keeps saying he wants to cook them...) and enjoys feeding them. He has named them in honor of his cousins, Ali and Ty Ty.

Zac is now eating cereal once a day and is getting really good at it. His favorite is to blow bubbles in it when I'm first spooning it in and then immediately shove both hands in his mouth to wash it down. You can't get the full effect of the messiness in the picture but I'm sure most of you have had similar experiences and can imagine.

Matt did a wonderful job of sprucing up our backyard. We did it in hopes of making the house a little more appealing to potential buyers. Why we didn't do it a long time ago is beyond us both. Matt especially has always been unhappy with the way our yard looked and now that we're going to be out of it soon (we hope) it looks nice. But I'm so proud of Matt's visionary skills and the work he did to get it this way. Good job, Honey!

Here's Jack taking a load off...
And our two silly boys.

Happy Easter! We had a great time with my family and got plenty of candy from the Easter Bunny. Porter learned how to play "duck duck goose" with his cousins and ran around screaming every time someone said "goose." The boys also got some new Easter clothes and looked so handsome!

We've had a fun time with animals lately. We went to the zoo and had a great time there. I also trapped a spider under a cup because I was too scared to squish it and was waiting for Matt to get home to do the job but Porter was sooo intrigued with it I bought a bug box so he could enjoy it a little more. He thought it was so cool seeing the spider crawl around and he was sure it was a girl.
Matt was afraid it was a hobo spider so he got rid of it after Porter went to bed and now we're trying to find a new bug to keep.

Zac is starting to adore his older brother. He gets a huge smile on his face whenever Porter talks to him. So far Porter still really likes Zac too and we hope that doesn't change.
