Spring Soccer




Both boys are playing soccer for the first time this year.



Darian is so aggressive. He's definitely not concerned about being a ball hog. He scored a goal in his first game.

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland expecting the worst (crowds, tantrums, etc) and ended up having a great trip. The kids loved it and so did we (man is splash mountain still fun).



















Hard to see but look at Kian's stone cold expression on splash mountain. What a tough cookie.











The parade!



Silly faces

Easter fun

This year we did three Easter egg hunts. One with Robison cousins, one with Baradaran cousins and one with the neighborhood kids.










Robison cousins at Jill's house



The best part is that I hid darian's eggs in very obvious spots so he wouldn't have to walk around on his bad foot. It made him feel really special that he found all of his eggs first.

Darian fractures his toe

In our third major injury of the year (kian: tonsils, Jeff: fractured collar bone), Darian fractured his toe wrestling with his dad and brother.


Jeff kian and darian are always wrestling and usually it ends with someone crying or getting angry but this is the first real casualty.





Luckily, he will be just fine.

I'm trying to avoid being the annoying mom who reminds their kids 5 times a day to do everything. So the other day I made a checklist. Kian (like his dad) responded quite well to this.

We got chicks for Spring!




The boys are doing a great job feeding them and changing their water.





Darian was nervous to pick them up at first but now he is no longer scared he will kill them. He said he hopes they follow him around like he is their dad.
