Trucks, trucks, and more trucks

We went to the "Touch a Truck" event here in Greene County on Saturday. The boys had a great time. Caleb was in truck wonderland! He was shy at sitting in the first truck, but then caught on real quick. He would sit in one truck and enjoy that, then he was off to the next truck. There were school buses, trash trucks (Our favorite Wednesday activity is when the trash trucks come.), fire trucks, police cars, the Brinks truck, tractors (another favorite), bobcats, commercial lawn mowers, (another favorite...you could adjust the seat of this one), and a few different tow trucks! It really was a boy's dream come true! The weather was beautiful also which made it even nicer to be out.

On Friday night, our friend Sherry went to dinner with us and then to the playground to play until it got dark. She rode her motorcycle over to our house, so we thought Caleb would like to see it. He greatly enjoyed sitting on it and trying out all the buttons! His Grandma Fagley would have been jealous that he got to sit on the motorcycle. My mom loves to ride on motorcycles...she doesn't own one...thankfully. But I'm sure wouldn't mind having a friend to give her a ride. It just makes me smile to think of MY mom on a motorcycle. If you know my mom, I'm sure you are smiling also! Love you mom! : ) : )

Beeker Bubble Day

Spring is here so we have nice days interspersed with rainy days....I particularly love the nice sunny days so we can play outside and enjoy the sunshine. But the rainy days are not bad either. It rained today and made it a whole lot easier for me to want to clean since we couldn't go out and play!

Last week, we got out our bubbles! Kevin had bought an array of bubble sticks for the boys to play with. We found out the little ones were the best ones. Our neighbors played with us also and they brought a bubble gun!!! That was Caleb's favorite...he kept using all the bubbles up! We had a nice time with the bubbles!

Happy Easter!!

Well, we pray everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Praise the Lord, He is risen! We are very thankful for all that God has done for us by sending His son to die on the cross for our sins! We thank God for loving us and providing His son as our sacrifice! Thank you Jesus! And as Caleb likes to pray, "I love you Jesus. Amen"

We decided that Caleb would probably like to find some Easter eggs this year. So, we had our neighbors over and had a little egg hunt. Both and Caleb and TJ greatly enjoyed themselves. Our neighbor had a nice time too. It was almost the longest hunt ever, because once the boys discovered there were goodies in the eggs, then they would find one egg and then eat the snack and then go find the other egg. It was pretty funny. We hadn't put much in each egg which was good, because the snacks were being eaten quite quickly. They definitely didn't need dessert after that!

We had a nice Easter dinner at our Bible study last night. It was fun to fellowship with our group more around dinner and of course yummy also! I told Kevin last night, that a one year move was really hard. Not that any move is easy, but I was ready to move from here after 6 months and even after 9 months, but now I have some friends and starting to get more in a groove and not as ready to move. Oh well, God has all things planned for our good! So, I know he will help us with our move too! We have 2 more months here then we are off somewhere. We will let you know when we find out for sure! Hopefully soon! We love you all! God Bless and Happy Easter!

More pics of the visit

Kevin's Aunt Barbara Beeker came to visit us for a few days also. The boys had fun playing with her. She lives in Indy and so it is nice she is so close to come and visit. We also had a girls shopping afternoon while the boys slept. My friend, Sherry, Barbara, and I went to the mall. Oh, I got spoiled during this trip, huh? Lots of fun girl adventures! : )

Kevin's Birthday

Well, Kevin turned the big 35 on Sunday. We waited to celebrate till Monday since Kevin's parents would be here. We had a nice Beef stroganoff for dinner and of course Beeker Birthday chocolate cake for dessert. Caleb was quite excited about eating ice cream for dessert.

The boys were also very excited about helping Kevin open his presents. Caleb loves birthdays now. He loves to say Happy Birthday and help open presents! TJ understands the concept now also. He helped take the tissue paper out of one of the presents and put it on Grandpa Beeker! Kevin also had a wonderful time celebrating with the family and with our friend Sherry.

Fun with Grandparents

Kevin parents came to visit during Kevin's spring break last week. The boys had a great time. Caleb would wake up from his nap or in the morning and say, "Nama and Grandpa downstairs." Skype is a really nice program cause Caleb remembers his grandparents much easier when they come to visit since he gets to see them on the computer. Both boys warmed up to Nama and Grandpa Beeker very quickly!

We pretty much played at home and the playground all week and spent lots of time hanging out and talking! It was a nice relaxing visit. I'm very thankful to have such nice in laws. I enjoy when they come to visit us!

It was also an extra treat cause Kevin and I stayed at a Bed and Breakfast on Wednesday night. So, we got 24 hours of relaxation and no responsibility. It was AWESOME!! We went to Panera for lunch...which was nice to eat so leisurely. Then, had massages in Lebanon, Ohio. It was about a 40 minute drive from our house. We had a nice dinner with a very yummy dessert. It was called the Puff. The Bed and Breakfast also had a little heart cake waiting for us in our room. As soon as I saw it, I asked if it was real and if we could eat it. They looked at me a little strangely and said Yes of course!! I was sold at that B&B for sure! My husband did great. In the morning we had a candlelit breakfast. Kevin did some reading and I took a nap. Then, we headed home. Kevin missed the boys too much and wanted to eat lunch with them...I missed them, but was enjoying the break. So, after we put them down for naps we went shopping!

So, not only are Grandparents super fun for grandkids, but also for mommy and daddy! The boys did great while we were gone and that made the trip even more relaxing! I'll post pics as soon as I can!
