A Boy's Best Friend

I am not for sure what Ben tells Abby every morning, but it must be funny!  I love listening to him talk to her!

My Two Bunnies

The Easter Bunny found his way to the Dobson house and left goodies for the boys!  Sam loved waking up first and stopping by Ben's room to wake him up before running into the living room!  It was a busy day, but I enjoyed every minute of it!  We are definitely blessed and serve an awesome God! 

Eggs filled with their favorite....gummies!

Two sweet boys who love each other!

After church we tried our best to get a good picture with Gran Gran.  I know she enjoyed getting a hug from Sam!

MeMom and Granddaddy with their favorite boys!

I think this had to be the most stressful part of our day!! 

Sam enjoyed the egg hunts, but we should have bought more green eggs.  We had to convince him that they all had the same thing in them!

On the other hand, Ben didn't care what color the eggs were, he just wanted to get as many as possible!

Maybe next year, Ben will figure out NOT to follow his big brother!  I think he would have found more eggs if he would have gone in the opposite direction!

Ben....always determined!!

Looking in the eggs to find his prizes!

The next three pictures are just a few of the pictures I snapped on the swing.  Out of the twenty-five I snapped these were my favorite!!  It is almost impossible to snap a picture with both looking towards the camera with a smile on their faces!

The common "choke-hold" hug!

This is typically the kind of picture I get--both boys being silly!

Two sweet boys!

This past weekend, Ben learned how to ride his jeep all by himself. It is a good thing it doesn't go very fast though, because he hasn't mastered the steering part! He is so funny to be around and is generally a happy little boy! We love you so much!
