Our Speed Racer

I rode along next to Andy (I was on Ben's scooter) for this video:

A walk in the arboretum

So it's been awhile... I've been terrible about keeping up. But here are some pics and videos of a walk we took at the arboretum a couple of weeks ago.

A neighbor gave Ben this backpack. He LOVES it!

Looking for turtles with dad...



As usual, not the greatest photo of me, but I take what I can get.



Andy loved the "ah-wah-wah" (water). But he kept trying to get in it.

For Coco...

Ben is out of school for the summer. Both he and Andy will likely miss the tree, footbridge, and paths on the school grounds...

Rainy day fun

Andy and I have been trapped inside because of rain.

But he loves to draw, and will lie down anywhere and scribble if you give him paper and a pen...




We did venture outside... Check
Out the cute raincoat!

Andy's first birthday!

For Andy's first birthday we kept things simple. Just close friends and cupcakes. Well, I went a bit overboard on the latter and ordered a cupcake cake. It was pretty amazing, and the kids loved it!



Andy wasn't too sure about the cupcakes, though, and spent more time mooshing them around than eating them...




And then getting it all over himself...






But after a quick bath, he joined the big kids for some coloring.








And it's never really a party until the birthday boy dances on the table!

Lots of catching up

The winter quarter has brought lots of illness, and, as a family, we've been down for the count with a series of colds, stomach bugs, and pink eye. But we've had lots of fun, too. Here are some random pictures and highlights. Andy's new found love of the pantry:


Ben shows his mom's gift of gab and love of the phone...





Our news kitty, Doc...


Andy continues to love walking, running, and standing on things that rock and bounce:


The boys play very well together for the most part. They both love Legos!


Ben, a chicken, and a runny nose...
