Spring

Happy Easter!  Here are a few pictures of my recent adventures...

Being silly in the woods by Grandma's and Papa's.  We went exploring!

Lily's treasures!

I was pretending to fight off the dinosaurs

Helping mama weed the front little garden

And then I went to help daddy mow!

I had fun playing indoor soccer last week.  I wanted to go lately since Lily has been playing.

Trying to stop the goal

Dying eggs

One of my finished beauties!

Playing hop scotch, oh so fun!

Visiting the Easter Bunny at Bellewood.  We actually didn't get to go hunt for eggs because there were too many people there, but we did get to say hello to the bunny.

And I had to be brave and show Lily that there was nothing to be afraid of

Since we couldn't hunt for eggs at the orchard we did our own little hunt at Grandma's house

I sure liked this little wheel barrow that Joanie brought for her games

Having green eggs and ham for April Fools.  We are having fun with all the jokes today.  So far we have poured cold water on mama in the shower, pretended to have the principal call Lily to tell her spring break was canceled, and many more silly little ones!

The boys!

Happy 4th Birthday!

On Wednesday, March 13th I celebrated my big 4th birthday.  My grandma Bonnie drove over from Spokane to be here and celebrate with us which was so nice.  Another treat, my Papa Bob was able to be here!  On my actual birthday we went to Red Robin and it was fun being sung to.  On Saturday we had a nice dinner and family celebration.  I asked for dinosaur cupcakes again, just like last year.

My mommy and daddy can't believe I'm four already and wonder where the time has gone.  I am a sweet, easy going boy or so they say.  I love dinosaurs, cars, trains, all the typical boy stuff but my favorite thing is my sissy.  She is my best friend and I love her to the moon and back!  I'm excited for the coming year and all the fun that is in store!

This is one of my "houses" where we play.  It may look messy but it is all perfectly placed in my mind.

Coming out on my birthday to see all the neat balloons.

Sissy let me open her present before she went off to school.

And then she helped me open a few later that night.

Can you tell this is what I wanted?

I love this....sissy one a prize at school of some licorice and she wrapped a few pieces up along with a book she made me.  She loves me!

This one is out of order, sorry.  My mommy loved that smile.

Look at that face!!

Wink wink!

Happy 4 year old!

Making my wish

My papa and I.  So happy he was able to celebrate with me!

The birthday interview! 

Ready to run at Lily's Fun Run!

Enjoying my Red Robin Sundae!!

Big Brother

I have really warmed up to the idea of  being a big brother.  I have been so good to Nick lately and really watching out for him.  One thing I do is make sure if he has something of mine I always trade him for another toy, which is fine with him as of now.  I also make sure he doesn't have anything that is a choking hazard.  

This week I also had my last gymnastics class.  I had fun and learned how to follow more than more direction, which is more challenging to a 3 year old than you think!  Thank you Grandma Bonnie and Papa Jim for a great Christmas Present!  My parents registered me for Preschool next year and I get to go on Monday to meet my teachers and have a little time for activities with them.  I'm very ready for school, especially after Lily got to go this year.  I can't wait to play with the other kids!!

These are a few Lent things we do every year.  We always add a few more but love our Catholic Faith and the chances it gives us to grow closer to Jesus through the liturgical year.

Happy St. Valentine's Day!

I had a great day!  It started when we all went out to the living room together and saw a small Valentine's Day Treat, along with a balloon!  I made yummy sugar cookies and frosted them with sprinkles to share with my friends at Mom's Group.  We went to the group and I got to play with my friends.  I sure like it there!  We picked up Lily from school and she showed us her Valentines and even shared some of her candy with me!  We played the rest of the night and read a great book about the saint, Saint Valentine.  Hope you had a good one!

Lily and I making Valentines.  She was busy making ones for her classmates and I made some for my friends at Mom's Group.

Lily ready for school.  She had free dress for the celebration and she was ready for her party!

Decorating my cookies

I brought in a bowl and some rice krispies to Nick's room and shared with him, he was soo excited!

Lily was excited to show us her cards and treats
