Our Fun Week

We went to the Zoo and just let the boys play. We didnt go from animal to animal. We just kinda wandered and had a fun visit with a few of the animals. Ethan liked not being rushed to all the animals.

We stopped by the park in front of the zoo to play on the toys. Ethan wanted to swing but all they had was baby swings. He still fits just nice.

They love to color in the star fish room. It only lasted for about a second but we always leave with a nice picture.

Ethan totally went through a "no pictures please" phase and has now decided to be total poser. I love it!!

I have these pictures backwards but I just wanted to show everyone how much Oli wants to be just like Ethan.

I just love this picture.

Oliver's Birthday, and Other days

So this is a little backwards but I don't have time to switch back. Today was Oliver's 2nd birthday. We had some family over for a little party. He has been riding around on Ethan's big bike for a few months so we decided to get him his own. If I would have snapped the picture 2 seconds earlier you really would have seen how excited he really was.

Ethan is also super stoked about Oliver's bike.
He also received some cars and a Thomas train and Track.
I made him a sweet train cake. He is not obsessed with Thomas but he really likes trains. We are taking him to the Day with Thomas at snoquallmy in July.

I am really proud of this cake. It turned out better than I expected. And I am just glad that I made extra cake in case of an emergency. And I used them so this is it. I don't think I have ever seen a better cake.

And Oliver Loved it.

So, Sorry I have been busy lately. But here will be a good update. This picture is for my sisters so show you how small my bum is getting. And this is a few weeks ago so it actually looks a little better now. I'm not sure what Tom was doing taking pictures of my bum?.?. I guess he thinks it looks good too!

Here is me and Oliver. I just love him so much. We went to the doc today for his 2 year check and of course he has an ear infection.

Mothers day was great. We spent the day down at the farm. There is no better place to be when its nice. I got to lay in a hammock. it was so nice. The boys made us a great dinner and I made the most amazing turtle brownies.

The boys really got to ride there gator ALL day. They ran that thing till the battery was dead.

I have had to work for all of Ethan's soccer games/practice but Oliver gets to go with Tom. They get to have so much fun without me on Saturday's.

Ethan's team is the LIONS. I like the green shirts. He is having a blast so far.

Good Times

I got a new niece last week. She was born 4-4-09 6lbs 14 oz 19 inches. Her name is Hailey Leona Wright. She is absolutely beautiful. So tiny. I just don't remember mine being that small. (Not that they were) She is a good baby for her new parents.

(Toms sister had the baby)

Here is my mother in law loving every minute of it.
Oliver did not want his grandma to hold her but he sure liked it.

Ethan is just so excited to have another cousin. And he loves babies. He says Mom now I have two cousins named Hailey!!

Easter was pretty low key, we hid a few eggs. They had a blast finding them.

Evey time Oliver found one he had to show us.

Not Brothers?

Alot of people tell me that my boys dont look like brothers. And while Ethan took much after Tom and Oliver looks like my twin they are indeed brothers.

Besides the eye color this looks just like Oliver.

Lets Paint!!

I finally broke down and bought some paint for the boys. There are some things I just don't want to clean up or get out and paint is one of them. But crayola finger paint is so easy to wipe up. They got it all over the table and there hands and it wipes right off. No hard rubbing. Oliver does not like having it on his hands so he only wants to paint until he gets it on himself then he is done. But Ethan could paint all day if I let him.

Ethan's last day of School

Ethan had his last day of school last week. We are very sad it is over but he will go next year too.
Oliver just loves getting his picture taken.

Here is Ethan and his teacher Miss Barb. She is such a great teacher and just loves all the kids. We cant wait till Oliver is old enough for her class.

This is Ethan and Miss Robin. Her and Miss Barb were awesome with the kids. We will miss them next year.

I did what??

I just wanted to say that I read 3 books last week. Who would have ever thought that I love to read. And that I would or could read 3 books in one week. You might think no big deal, but to me it is. You are probably wondering what 3 books I read so I will tell you. Janet Evonavich had 13 books out about a bounty hunter named Stephanie Plum. I read books 5 and 13. And I cried so hard laughing they are so funny. Then I just read The Spellman Files but Lisa Lutz. Funny but not as funny as the Stephanie plum stories. But still funny. A very funny style of reading. So I would say that Lisa owes me $6 but I enjoy reading so much now I guess she is off the hook.
