AHHH.....Some Sun!

It was such a great day on Monday that I thought I should break out some of the water toys...but still too lazy for swimsuits!

They really do love each other..Ella is pretty much Owens shadow.


Evidence that mom wasn't fully prepared for the water table. The clothes were soaked in less that 5 minutes but dried rather quickly on the fence. This sunshine was short lived..it's been raining since!

SOCCER

Owen started soccer this Spring. He loves to show off his stomach.

Always cracking a smile.

Owen in action. Although he likes to run around we don't think he really likes soccer. But that's alright!

CABIN TIME

A few weeks ago the kids and I went up to our friends cabin..Blake was sick! It was lots of fun. My only advice it to not carry your one year old a mile and then expect your back to feel fine!

This is Hazel and Owen by the stream. Owen loved throwing rocks but almost took out Hazel a couple of times!

This is Jane. She is so cute and she has so much energy!

ULTRASOUND

Everyone has been asking if we have had our ultrasound and if so what are we having....WELL...after much thought about it we decided NOT to find out the sex of the baby. Everything looked great in the ultrasound but everyone will just have to wait till it's born to find out what it is!!

Easter Happenings

This picture was taken when we had the only day of sunshine we have had in forever!! As I'm blogging about Easter, I'm looking out the window and sadly looking at 5 inches of new snow on my driveway..UGH!

Easter egg decorating was the best..thanks to Family Fun magazine! They gave me the idea to use wire whisks! You put the egg in the middle and then the kids don't break the eggs when they dip them..BRILLIANT..and the best part is that it really works!

This is Ella..and yes the same smile!

Every time I look at this picture I think to myself what dire need he has for a haircut!

What the Easter bunny brought!

No, Ella is not sporting a mullet..although it kind of looks that way..I can't bring myself to have her hair cut..I just can't..and won't!

ST PATTYS DAY

The day started out at the park near our house..thank goodness for the sunshine lately!! This is the only shirt I could find of Owens that had green on it..next year we need to buy some St Patty's shirts!


Ella is so brave at the park I can hardly believe it..maybe it has something to do with being a second child because she does not want to be left behind! She will go down a slide while I'm not looking and just fly off!


This was our dinner..green cheese and broccoli soup with soft pretzels (I tried to shape them like Shamrocks but it didn't turn out so well)!



And of course we ended the meal with green cupcakes with green frosting....while Owen does this fake smile thing..this really is Ella's smile! She will have the most serious face and walk by me and smile like this..I laugh all the time!


This is Owen's smile for the camera! I love this boy!

When did my baby get so big???
