Easter Baskets

This was the first year I actually 'hid' the easter baskets. Isaac was not sure what to think. So I taught him the 'hot and cold' game and he found it pretty quick. You can tell he is very happy in the picture below. Anna grabbed her toy and the plastic egg right away. How cute.
Hmmm... What else is in here?

Home Depot Take two!

Yesterday was a busy morning. We did the easter egg hunt and then came to Home Depot to make a butterfly house. Above: Checking out the instructions...

Below: Some Gluing


Some hammering
Here is what a baby looks like when she skips a nap and is hungry...happy?!?!? That's our Anna:)

Here is Isaac hammering all by himself. He is getting very good at it. I forgot to take a picture of the final product this time.

Egg Hunt at Surprise Stadium

The City of Surprise put on an ENORMOUS egg hunt. Over 5000 eggs!!! Luckily they split the kids up into age brackets, but it was still over 1000 eggs just for the 3's group. The entire out fields of two practice diamonds were covered with eggs. It was super fun, but a little scary! There were soooo many people. Above are the 'three amigos' after their hunt. They sure look happy!

Below is Anna being INCREDIBLY adorable!

Checking out their loot!

Anna Standing!

Anna can't quite pull herself up yet, but she can stand if I help her up. You can see how proud she is in the top picture. The other little baby is Camden the boy I babysit three days a week (Anna's boyfriend, she LOVES him:)

dyeing easter eggs

Last weekend we dyed our easter eggs. Isaac was a pro this year. Above is the before picture.


Filling all the cups with eggs.

So proud he can get the eggs out all by himself with the tool.
Incredible hulk hands!

9 Months Old!!

Believe it or not, Anna is 9 months old already! She weighed 16.4 pounds at her appointment and she is still mostly in 3-6 month clothes:) She is taking after her big brother. She is up on her hands and knees rocking, but still not crawling on her hands and knees, she instead prefers to army crawl and push with her toes. This gets her around very quickly and also cleans my floors at the same time:) She is trying to pull herself up to standing and if I stand her up and have her hold onto something she can stand there holding on with out my help. Still no teeth, not that I expect any soon since her brother didn't get any until 13 months:) She LOVES to suck chunks of fruit from her little mesh bag. She is sleeping from about 7:30 to 6 am so that is a real life savor for us parents:) I posted this picture above, because, believe it or not, she made about 90% of the mess in the living room! She is busy busy busy and loves going from one toy to the next.

Pima County Fair

Over spring break we went to visit great aunt bonnie and uncle Ernie. Auntie Bonnie took us to the fair! Isaac LOVES looking at all the animals. And since Aunt Bonnie knew the owner of this HUGE pig Isaac got to give it some love:)

Auntie Bonnie spoiling Isaac with the Pony ride. He LOVED it. He is a natural up on the horses.
Anna was there too. Here she is showing off how flexible she is.

And of course Isaac's favorite, the train. He even got to ring the bell!

Such a serious little conductor.

SWINGS

Anna LOVED LOVED LOVED the swings! She was laughing so hard. Isaac loved the short swings too so he could easily get on and off.

Thanks for pushing me Daddy!

Having Fun at the Park

We had a picnic lunch this week at the White Tank Mountains. Anna really enjoys playing with water bottles. She doesn't care if it is stainless steel or plastic.

Home Depot Project

The first Saturday of every month Home Depot has a free kids project! This month was our first time trying it! Isaac LOVED it, he made a rain gauge. Now every time daddy has to use tools around the house for something Isaac goes and gets his apron on. It is so cute.
Anna was taking it all in:)
The very proud Isaac with his finished product!
