What's going on...

We've been having fun this last week so we thought we'd share an update. The Little Man is getting so fun to be around. He actually started giggling yesterday. It surprised me how low his giggle sounds compared to The Girl's first giggle. However, they both giggled around the same age, just days before they turned 3 months.

Something else that we have a lot of fun with is bedtime songs. A current favorite of our little one is The Hokey Pokey. Now this girl can't handle having a camera around without turning into a goof ball. She noticed the camera after I got it going, but because we weren't holding it I think she didn't realize it was on.

Yesterday, The Girl sure had me laughing! We were out weeding a flower bed and she spotted an airplane. She stood there on tippy toes saying, "Reach! Reach! Can't reach!" Shortly there after she tried to pull up a big weed, but it was too hard for her and she got discouraged. I told her it was just fine because in our family we can do hard things. A minute or two later she was back and hauling weeds saying, "Maggie, hard things" over and over. I don't know if I've ever been so pleased to have one of my "lessons" understood.

Wow do we love our kiddos!

What a Cutie!

So I couldn't help but wonder if Clark Kent's parents ever found him like this after nap time...

Yes, you are a bald blond little thing, but we sure think you are awesome!

Branding

Gee, we have a lot going on in April! Sorry about all the posts today, but I wanted to get caught up...

 Here we are, all ready for branding!
 She loves to ride on Juanito with her Daddy!
Branding went really well, it was strange not doing it on a Saturday, but it was kinda nice at the same time. Now we have a whole other day before Sunday that we can do things...like clean the house and post on blogs!

Cake Walk

How was the awesome cake made? Let me walk you through the process...
 Mini cupcakes from wile colors...
 One layer of swirled batter left over from cupcakes...
 Polka-dots put into the batter for the layers...
 All covered up...
 Baked...
 Show me a slice...
Yep, it was pretty good, and it'll be so much better next time!

More Birthday

Okay, here are some more birthday pictures and a video.
Even though she got sick, she was still a cheeser for the pictures...


 Gotta love new PJ's! Poor girls eyes were watering from being sick in these pictures.

Cake and Candles

So, it's pretty fun to have a 2 year old. This is some video of her cake and candles...

Notice the super yummy looking dairy free polka dot cake?! Yeah, I got that baked, frosted and decorated in less than 2 hours. I would have loved to spend more time and get it really nice, but I was in a hurry and that's what I got.

Easter

Happy Easter!

These are a couple of our Easter pictures of the kids.



Oh yeah, and this is what happens when I get too much time on my hands and play with photoshop... The Girl saw it and said, "Oh no!" and just about came to tears.... it was funny.

Silliness!

Attack of the Green (smoothie) Monster!





Don't worry, with much help we were able to save The Girl!

 We like to hang out in bed in the morning sometimes

 This is what happens when you get home late from town. You have one who is ready to eat and one who doesn't want to wake up for anything! (And when you drive a truck that doesn't belong to you, you get to bring in entire car seats, instead of just the occupants).
