my cousin Lauren

My mom with her eyes open! This one pic took 10 takes - no kidding! We laughed and laughed!

Thinhy so sleepy after eating ham, pineapple filling, pot roast, brown butter new potatoes, sweet potatoes, baked corn, lettuce with hot bacon dressing, deviled eggs, red beets and potato rolls. Not to forget, vanilla pie, jello cake and homemade candy. We are back to the Y already!

And my brother should be tired! I should have taken a picture of his plate! He sure can eat, but when you are 6'7", that is a lot of space to fill up!

Tazzy loves holidays! Leftovers and many warm bodies to cuddle up with to take a nap!














Our Little Guys

Last week, I got the guys dressed for church and Mason wanted nothing to do with his tie. But, this week Thinh got him dressed and just clipped his little tie and he wore it for the next 10 hours and boy did he look adorable in it!
Our goofy Andrew!

A long sleepy stare or is he planning his next move?


I just love this picture...just wish Brandon was in it too...where was he?




Eggs, hunts, and candy...oh my!

The Quach boys did not lack in candy or egg hunts this Easter! My mom2mom group has an annual egg hunt each year complete with a story, craft, hunt and lunch every Good Friday. Then on Saturday, we went to a nearby church's Easter Festival. It was lots of fun with many games, each with a prize, lunch, egg hunt, prizes, cotton candy, the kids had a blast and were excellent!
On Sunday, Kim and Larry, our next door neighbors, hid many eggs for the boys to find Sunday morning.

Mason totally understood eggs and candy this Easter.


Andrew Easter morning smiling for all the goodies he received from the Easter bunny!



Brandon reading the note the Easter bunny left for them letting them know how many eggs each of them could find and thanks for being good boys again this year.


Brandon on the hunt at the Camp egg hunt.


Mason taking time out to pet floppy.

Andrew's basket minus the cute summer church outfit, which he tossed aside quite quickly.


Ahhh, chocolate! Doesn't Brandon seem mesmerized by it!


Mason collected many eggs at the mom2mom egg hunt and pitched quite a fit when we needed to put some back!










Meet Floppy

Here is our Easter bunny...Floppy, named for his loppy ears.
This is Mason's reaction to the bunny.

And Andrew's reaction, Brandon had no reaction, he will tell you he is not that into animals.


Thinh, like Andrew, loves animals and Floppy gets excited every time he sees Thinh.




And, a pic of daddy coming in the door to surprise his boys.

priceless

This picture cracks me up! Mason's face looks so sad, "where is my ds guys?" Mason also had a matching tie, but he "chose" not to wear it!

More Bathroom progress...

Not sure what Andrew is doing but...here is a messy shot of the tile, ungrouted, and the beaded up, not painted! So much done, so much more to do! Thinh hung the lights up for over the sinks!!!

Another shot in the tub area a.k.a. the splash zone!



It's Easter Egg Painting Time!

Saturday afternoon the boys and Oliver painted their eggs for the bunny to hide.
Oliver displaying his works of art...

Mason loved dipping the eggs in the colors...


Andrew giving it a try as well...



Then, Mason trying out the traditional way, a crayon...




Notice Brandon sniffing his hand, yes, we used vinegar and they were not too fond of the smell of hard boiled eggs mixed with vinegar, in fact, I still smell a faint odor!





And, finally, the Quach boys works of art!
