We are expanding our 2 bedroom house. Crazy times have begun! Here is the process so far.

Ready to go!

Jack has been loving bikes. His legs aren't quite long enough to reach the pedals, but he doesn't seem to mind. Before we know it, he'll be racing down the street!

Hey there, Molly!

Sharing

After some time in the sprinklers, cousin Max, Jack and Mommy enjoyed some popsicles.

Sprinkler fun...NOW with bikes!!

Jack, Max and Papa were enjoying some water time!

Your favorite books:
Baby's peek-a-boo Book (it has always been one of your favorites)
Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann (When we get to the part where all the animals say "good night", you say "Uh-Oh"!!)
My First Book of Tractors by Kath Jewitt
My First Book of Diggers and Dump Trucks by Kath Jewitt
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

Pat the Bunny by Dorothy Kunhardt

Your favorite things to do:
BE OUTSIDE!! You love driving around your 4wheeler, being pushed on your bike or you pushing your own bike around the yard. That definitely has been a theme for you. Ever since you started to crawl, you have loved pushing things around and making them move.
You also love to read books and wrestle around with mommy and daddy.
We have a feeling that you are going to absolutely LOVE the pool this summer! We can't wait!

Your favorite things:
You have 3 blankets that you LOVE. Sometimes in the morning, you won't leave the crib unless you have all three of them in your arms.
You love your milk :)
& cheese, cheese, cheese!!

Spring cleaning

Jack decided to help us reorganize our spices.

Easter 2009
