Lost tooth
I forgot to mention one of the most important things about vacation – Ben lost his first tooth! Fortunately, the tooth fairy found us in Williamsburg.

Williamsburg
We just got back from a week long vacation in Colonial Williamsburg. Fun family times. The highlights were definitely the water park there, Water Country, USA and Busch Gardens. I loved the Busch Gardens there. It was like Disney! The theme is Europe, and each part of the park is themed to be like Italy, Germany, etc. Very clean and good food. I want to go back for sure. Here are some pictures…
Will enjoying a S'More at our hotel.
Ben at Colonial Williamsburg. Cool to see, the boys could have skipped this day.

What’s for dinner
It has been a long time since I posted a recipe, but tonight we ate such a good meal, and it was easy and inexpensive. We made grilled pizza!
Here’s the recipe for the crust..
3 cups flour
1 t salt
2 T sugar
1 pkg yeast (.25oz)
1 cup warm water
2 T olive oil
Combine dry ingredients, then add water and oil. Knead. I always use the dough hook on my kitchenaid. This is a no rise recipe, so it is ready to go. Makes awesome calzones by the way.
I divide into four pieces and roll into pizza crust, about 7-9 inches round. Brush one side with olive oil. Place oil side down on preheated grill (medium high heat). Grill aprox 3-4 minutes. These things cook quick, so have your toppings right next to the grill. Open grill, brush tops with more oil, then flip over. Top with your favorite sauce and toppings. Close grill and cook another few minutes. I don’t even have a picture because we gobbled these up. So good.

Bouncy chair
Calvin is a great baby, or maybe I just don’t have time for fussiness. If he has been fed and changed, I typically let him fuss if the other boys (including one 36 year old boy) need something. He has learned to roll with it!
Calvin is not the only one in the house who likes the bouncy chair…

Happy Easter
All the boys are enjoying a very relaxing Easter. We are home today with no party to go to. I am making a small meal just for us. Ben has been playing MarioKart almost all afternoon – a gift from the Easter bunny. What a great day! Here are some new pictures of the boys…
Three brothers bathed and ready for bed!

Cute hospital pictures
In case you didn’t see these pictures..
A photographer from Bella Baby came to the hospital to take pictures of Calvin. This is what they do now instead of those awful frog/baby pictures. I love looking at these!
