Lucky Ladybug

Colin had a ladybug on him after coming in from taking his brother to school.  Before I could get a picture it hopped on me!


It was getting around.  I put it outside.


New 'do & New Outfit

I have been doing Gavin's hair curly wet on top with gel.  He has gotten several compliments on it.  What do you think?


I found some brand new clothes put away in the closet.  Cute!


Computer Boy

Colin's going to know everything about the computer before he walks...j/k.




Colin in the Backyard & Garden

Mr.Cool Dude with the sunglasses!



I doubted that I had sugar snap peas in my garden, but they are!!! See my tiny pea pod?



A day later I found some big snap peas, yummy!


Happy Birthday, Philip!


Here are the kids helping me make a birthday cake for Daddy.




Here Daddy is with Gavin and his cousin!  The cake's not much to look at, but was tasty.


It's hard to see, but there are three sets of hand prints here.  Mine in yellow, Gavin's in green, and Colin's in blue.

School in April

I know I am probably missing some of the things from his school this month, but with changing schools and vacation, I'm going to call this good! His rabbit bag even had a tail!


One of Gavin's friends from church drew and wrote for him, so sweet!  Thanks, Kaylee!


Trampoline Time!

We were playing in the backyard and I took a picture of my three boys on the trampoline!



Sleepy Baby

Sometimes he still wants mama.  This was after he'd woken up from a nap time when Philip was home.  I had been napping as well and Colin wanted me after Philip got him out of the playpen.  It's nice to be wanted and loved sometimes!

Back to Reality...

 ...well, for some of us.  Gavin was having a good time here with his sheep pillow while he watched a movie.  He wasn't even aware of Sage and me talking about him or her taking the pictures for me!


I love he he swished his face here!  Goofy!


We made it home, safe and sound. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for having us in your home once again.  Hope we weren't too much trouble! :-D

The Train Museum and Ice Cream

We went to the train museum, of course!  Gavin asked for his picture to be taken here.  Probably because we have always taken one here before.






Colin seemed to be listening to what was being said on the phone.  Do you think there will be a time where kids don't recognize these as phones?  Who has a phone with a cord?  We don't even have a land line!













We were sitting and watching the kids when we saw something flying around.  Staci said, "Is that a bat?" and I said, no, it couldn't be.  Upon further investigation, however, she was correct! 



The bat hung out and crawled on the wall for a little while as this video shows.








We had the kids entice Colin to do some crawling into this table.


Here's Colin with all the big cousins!


I went to the gift shop without Gavin and picked him out a new book!  It's a My First Graphic Novel (comic book) about a train ride.  I thought that Philip would get a kick out of it! He has manga (Japanese comic books) that he wants to have Gavin read when he is older, so I thought it was appropriate for that reason as well.



We walked around Old Town and talked about how they built up the city--that the lower levels used to be at ground level.  Then we got ice cream with grandma, thanks!  Even Colin got a mini scoop of ice cream! His first try at an ice cream cone! He loved it, of course!







He didn't know what to do with the cone, though.  He was just holding it and spilled melted ice cream onto himself.  As far as he was concerned, the cone was only what happened to hold up his ice cream and he wasn't going to eat it!


That was good, thanks grandma!
