Check It Out!

Daddy found a great deal on a very gently used big girl bike. Katie is in love. (Don't worry...she put on a helmet right after we took the picture.) She must have spent 30 minutes riding it all around the neighborhood in the hot sun the day she got it. So cute.

Male Bonding

Those darn first year molars are really makin' Ethan a fussy man. He always wants to be held when he's hurt and this is no exception. So Daddy tried teaching him some video game tips.

Mr. Fix It

A week ago the vacuum wasn't working very well.


So Daddy and I used the screw driver to diagnose the problem.


He had to go get something so I took over for a few.


Just call me "Handy Baby E."

Splashing Around

It's that time of year again.


This time last year Ethan was too little to play at the splash pad.


Katie loves it even more than she did last year.


The water was so cold...


...but so much fun.


Can't wait til next time!

Tuckered Out

We have been having a lot of fun hanging with Cousin Kiera a couple of times a week! The other day she got so worn out playing that Mommy found her sleeping like this. It's hard work being a baby.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

In the last month Ethan has learned to open an unlocked gate...


...and whine when Mommy takes something away. Bummer.

His and Hers Bandoliers

Since Mommy started sewing Katie and Ethan have been reaping the benefits. Gen told Mommy about this blog that has fun boy-oriented sewing projects and she came across this tutorial for a toy and snack bandolier.


They are pretty fun, but Mommy needs to remake them in twill. These cutie pie cotton ones just aren't strong enough for a lot of toys.


But, we love them anyway. Maybe Mommy can figure out how to make sippy cup holsters. Now that we could REALLY use.

Easter 2011

The Easter Bunny was good to us, I tell ya.


Here's our tribute to him.


When we woke up I let the kids (Katie) pick out what they would wear knowing that later they would wear their actual Easter outfits. Katie chose her "costume shirt."


So we chowed down on some breakfast and rummaged through our baskets.


Then, we went outside to hunt for eggs.


It was so neat!


Katie found a lot of eggs! After she found a new one, each time she exclaimed, "Let's keep looking!"


When we found all 24 eggs we played...


...and admired our loot.


After naptime we went to GG's house for dinner and ran around like wild little children.


It was so much fun!


Then we read some book given to us from Jocelyn and Mike.


They were so neat. (Thank you!)


And best of all our favorite little cousin, Cousin Kiera was there. Yay!
