Summer is getting closer.....

Mary has been dieing to run through the sprinklers, so today was finally warm enough to let her, at least for a little while. She thought she would be helpful and put on the sunscreen, I don't think her legs will get burned, ha ha ha

Mary loves going for walks and finding everyone who has a nice animal to pet. Right now her favorite animals are some brand new baby goats they are so cute, and the dog "allie". She loves animals!!!

Baby Will.....

Baby Will- Will loves to read books, his favorite part is getting to turn the pages all by himself! He is standing up to furniture and we are working on standing independently. He can sign eat when he is hungry and we are working on about 5 other signs. He can say "Ma, Mom, Da, Da, Ba Ba". He can wave Bye Bye, it is so sweet. He loves playing and wrestling with his sister, they are best buddy's. He is the best eater, he will try anything. His favorite foods right now are avocado, sweet potato and oatmeal.
He has to have surgery this Thursday, so keep him in your prayers. It is not anything too major, he needs his tonsils removed and then they are putting tubes in his ears. I am really hoping for a speedy recovery. (anything would be better then Marys experience)

Mary making a snow Angel

Grandma Pat came down from Oregon for a visit. We were so excited for Matt's mom to get to come, we always have such a great time. Mary and Will both love her so much, Mary was wanting her to play with her non-stop.

We played with Mary's animals, told story's, went to the Dinosaur museum, rode pony's, played played played. I could not believe all of the snow we got, wow, it was one of our biggest storms, our power was even out for a while. I was so glad that it finally warmed up enough to go outside. Grandma and Mary planted some flowers for me and got us a beautiful patio set and we BBQ and had dinner outside it was great! We really miss all of Matt's family, (especially papa Steve) and can't wait for our next visit. Love ya

Easter.............

The kids were so excited to find there Easter baskets today. Mary was helping Will find his eggs and basket, it was so cute! Will wasn't sure what was going on, but he was loving it.

Will trying to crawl to an egg. We have been trying to get him to crawl for so long and he will only do it when he is by himself, when HE really wants to, he has quite a stubborn streak. I wonder where he gets that from???

I even got a little crafty and made their Easter baskets this year!!

time out.....

Mary put her animals in time out.
She loves playing with her animals it doesn't matter if there stuffed or plastic, she loves them. She plays "house" with them and it is so fun to listen to her conversations, it sounds a lot like me.......

Will loves cupcakes....

Will was eating some mac&cheese for lunch which he loves, and to top it off I let him have a cupcake for desert. Needless to say he was loving life!!!
