Early Sunshine

The weather is slowly improving and our whole family thoroughly enjoys it.  We have been spending a lot of time outside and I'm getting better on my balance bike.  I can't wait to ride a real bike and try to race Lily!  My daddy is going out of town for the week and mama and I are going to work on planting our little vegetable gardens.  I love helping around the yard.  This week I helped mow, picked out and planted flowers, and weeded!  We hope you are enjoying this weather as well!

Playing outside at our picnic table.  Lily set up a whole bunch of activities for us!

One day last week we played at Grandma and Papa's place.  Nicholas and I enjoy the swing!

Life is great!

Chillin' in the wagon for a ride

This was a huge Daddy frog that Papa caught for me!

Sorry for the nudity!  Mama couldn't resist!

Spring Break and On...

Hard to believe we are into April already!  Spring break came and went and we had the best time!  We had a student from Lily's school spend the week with us since her parents work and she was so fun!  Every day we had an adventure and played, played, played.  We are looking forward to the summer so we can all be together again! ( I still miss sissy when she is at school)  

In other news, I got my ants in the mail for my ant farm.  I got this for my birthday and sent in for the ants.  It is from Insect Lore and we have done their butterflies, ladybugs, and now the ants.  We all agree they are yucky but they are so fun to watch.  Mama and daddy are just as entertained by it as we are.  Hope you are having a wonderful spring!

Katie Ray and I showing off our crabs down at the beach during spring break.

Another cool treasure!

Another expedition down to the beach with all kinds of friends!

Playing in the balls with Nick at Jungle Playland, one of our adventures

Creating a masterpiece.  A play bath, a fun addition to a rainy day!!

Playing music with my rocks and sticks

Helping around the house

Putting the ants in

The house at the end of my street is doing all kinds of landscaping and construction.  I had fun watching the huge crane and cement truck this week.

This is how I went to Fred Meyer today, oh my!!

Silly boy!

All the tunnels!

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!

Pushing baby Nick on the swing

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!!
