Grace's Version of Three Little Pigs

Oh man! I could watch this video all day, it makes me smile!

Siblings That Play Together...

Have more fun!

(I just had to put this one in because he is so darn cute!)

(I love how in most of the pictures my kids are in there pajamas, but that's just how we roll around here.)

Little Handy Man

Daddies little helper!

Look at all those tools!! He's amazed by them!

He's just got to get his hands on them!

At least one of them!

Any of them at all!

So much like his daddy!

We Went to The Zoo and Grandma Came Too

We had to pay a visit to Salt Lake City so we took Grandma Sue along for the ride and made a fun outing of it. We went to Hogle zoo! Gracie is really into animals and going to the zoo, so for her, it was the perfect day! The zoo with Grandma, what can get better than that?

Train ride! So fun!

I think Seth wasn't to sure what was going on or what to expect, all he knew was that his darn hat wasn't going to come along with him.

Grandma and Gracie Off to see the elephants.

Riding the kangaroo on the carousel, too cool!

Looking for rhinoceroses.

So sweet, Grandmas are the best for helping Gracie see all the fun things to see at the zoo!

Tree hugger!

Gracie is about the size of a juvenile Ape.

Have no idea who the boy is, he jumped in just as I was taking the picture.

Just chillin'.

Grace tried to catch the Turkey, he was just a little to fast.
We had so much fun at the zoo! Thanks for coming with us Grandma Sue! We were so happy you could come!

Up and At'em!

Seth took two steps all on his own a week or so ago! He hasn't done it since, but he sure does love getting around with this walker. Nothing can stop this go-getter now!

Not even walls!
(Sorry for the blurry pics. We just replaced our camera and I'm still getting the hang of the new one.)

Snug as a Bug?

How he can sleep like that is a wonder to me! But he sure is cute doing it!

Breakfast of Champions!

This is what Grace asked to have for breakfast one day. I wasn't going to stop her from making a healthy choice, though not a choice I would have made for myself (or anyone really) for breakfast!

And yes, that is mascara on her face (again) she explored make-up while I was in the shower. Life was so much easier when she couldn't reach or climb up to things

Easter 2011

Easter morning. The Easter Bunny has come and gone, but kindly left some fun things! And yes, I am that parent that believes the Easter Bunny delivers books every year. The Easter Bunny believes in early development of literacy, (we are a lot alike, the Easter Bunny and I)

Seth's first Easter!! His daddy made his basket for him (we couldn't find the Easter baskets we had gotten on clearance last year so I carried on a childhood tradition of making our baskets and leaving them out for the Easter Bunny...think we'll do it again. It was fun and a happy blast from my past!

Time for the Easter dress and suit fashion show! I was totally corny this year and bought matching Easter outfits for Grace and Seth. I just had too...
