Einstein

Alex had to do a presentation on a famous historical figure...he chose Einstein.  He decided to do the "interview" and had a series of question made up for the teacher to ask him in front of the class.  His teacher told him that his presentation was the best she had ever had!  Awesome!!!  He worked so hard on this project and all of his hard work paid off!!
He looked just like Albert Einstein too!!!

 

 

Mario Brothers?

OK, OK....so Mommy has an affinity for fake mustaches.  Obviously the boys find them pretty funny too!!!  These pictures make me smile....

 
 

Lucky Boy!!!

 

 

Secret hide-away...

I have NO IDEA where this is.  It's somewhere close to our house, and Frank and Alex love to go hang out here.  Their special place together.  And I love it. 



 

Shoulder Buddies

The newest craze...Shoulder Buddies - little troll-like critters that can attach to your clothes by a magnet on the bottom.  These kids are obsessed!!!

  

National Air and Space Museum

We went to Arlington to visit our good friends Jeremy and Sarah for an evening in early March.  They suggested we all go to the National Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport.  It was awesome!!  We saw lots of amazing things:  a space shuttle, the Enola Gay, and tons of other aircraft.  I didn't even know that this branch of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum existed before going there...what a great family outing!!

 

 

 

Heavy Load

 

Sledding Fun

The boys were up and out playing in the snow very early the morning after the "big snow". It ended up being a very warm day, so the snow didn't last long....gotta get out there when the playing is still good!!!

Cocoa is the BEST!

Especially after some hard playing in the snow!!!

One Snowy Night

First snow of the season and the boys couldn't wait to get out there!! At 7pm, Alex couldn't handle it any longer, so he went out (decked out in his pj's and just a hoodie). After watching Alex through the window for about 2 minutes, Hunter had to join him. He wore his pj's too...but at least decided on a hat, gloves, and coat. After an hour filled with running through the snow, snowball fights, snow-angels, snowman building, snowman tackling, and general snow fun, I was able to get them to come inside only by offering some hot-cocoa.
Next time, they'll be wearing actual winter clothing! I honestly thought they'd only be outside for about 5 minutes!! Although, it obviously didn't phase them!!!

15 Years and Counting...

On January 14th, Frank and I celebrated the 15th anniversary of our first date. Has it really been that long??
Kinda makes me feel old...I'd like to pretend we were 18 again!!! Then again, I like growing old with you, Frank. I love you!!!

Hunter Lost His First Tooth!

Has this really happened?? My baby lost his first tooth!!! We were sitting at the dinner table, and he was complaining that eating was hurting his tooth. I told him that was good because maybe his tooth would fall out while he was eating. A few minutes later, after a bite of hotdog, he tells me there is something hard in his food. I tell him, because dinner is always a challenge, to please stop complaining about the food and just eat. Then a light-bulb goes off in my head and I ask to look in his mouth. Sure enough, the tooth was gone!! He was very disappointed that he had eaten his tooth, but we assured him that the tooth fairy would still come even if the tooth was in his belly.
He was so proud of his missing tooth!!
You're really becoming a big-boy now, Hunter!!!

Have We Met Before??

OK, so I know it's been absolutely FOREVER since I've updated our blog.  And I think I've been putting it off more and more because I kept getting farther and farther behind.  I'm going to resolve that issue by just starting from now.  I know I've missed many months of Yeager Family fun, but it's too much to go back and post all that's happened.  So, here we are....starting fresh in 2012!  

Hunter Graduates Preschool!

Water Fun

This is what your hair looks like after dunking your head in a bucket of water!

Easter

Camp Out!

Daddy took Alex camping at Pocahontas State Park for two nights. They stayed in a cabin, grilled out, ate s'mores, rode mountain bikes, and had lots of boy fun!
Daddy is so cool!!

Happy Birthday, Hunter!!

5 Years Old!!!

A new Leapster Game? Yes!!

He chose to go to Carvel for ice cream instead of cake or cupcakes! Yummy!!

Go, Hunter, Go!!

Hunter is playing soccer this season!! He was so excited for his first game and he looked adorable in his soccer uniform. He was really into the 30 minute practice before the game started, and then disaster struck. All of the other kids were a bit faster than him and he really didn't get much ball-time. Which upset him. A lot. So he spent a lot of time in tears, wanting to leave. I made him stay and play, telling him that his team needed him. Luckily there was a snack at the end. That made everything better.
Thank goodness for snacks!

A powerful kick...good try, Hunter!

It's gonna be OK!

So mad at the other kids for not letting him get near the ball. Look at that face!! He is ticked!

Finally, Hunter gets his chance! Way to go, Buddy!!

A goal is a goal, even if scored on the wrong side!!

Daddy is Fun!
