Fun, fun

Some cute pictures of the boys from this weekend. Thomas did a better job of sharing, but still has huge strides to make in this area.

Let's all dress up like Potato Heads

If anyone can offer insight as to why my camera and/or computer is doing this I would appreciate it. Below, the boys were surprised by Great Kathy with an egg hunt. Fun!

Go Green!

Sparty fever. We were really excited to watch the Spartans win in the Final Four last night. Our good friends, the Sias', were in town to enjoy the game with us. We are anxiously awaiting the Championship game tomorrow night. Go Green!

Three cuties go green.

The Asiala's show their true colors

Cool dude

With the sunny weather earlier in the week, Thomas noticed Alan and I wearing sunglasses a lot. He insisted yesterday that we "go store buy sunglass" to "keep sun eyes." So, the result is a kid that insists on wearing them all the time. In McDonald's, in the house, on cloudy days...I hope the novelty wears off soon.

Hoppy, hoppy

I just couldn't resist.

Another Beautiful Day

We can't get enough of this gorgeous weather. A few shots from this afternoon...

Yeah! Spring!

It is SO nice to finally have some warmer weather. We have been super busy today. We started by assembling Thomas' new climber. His cousins outgrew it so they passed it down. Grandma and Grandpa brought it and Thomas couldn't be happier. We moved his plastic house out to the back deck and put the climber in its place. He has been climbing and sliding all day. Doesn't everyone have a climber in their living room?

In true Thomas fashion, he has been fixing the climber all afternoon. He just informed me that "work all done" and is cleaning up his tools. He is pretending that the bulldozer is a chain saw (see below, Daddy is using a chain saw).

We have also been busy clearing the edge of our ravine. Alan cut the brush down and I tended the fire. It was hard work, but the results are going to be fabulous. We'll be able to see the stream now in the summer.

An update, finally...

It's been a while since I have posted. Before this weekend, we hadn't done anything exciting in a few weeks. We just returned from Barlett, Il a few hours ago. We went to visit the Sias family! Thomas played fairly well with their boys, Billy (2 weeks older than Thomas) and TJ (turned 1 in January). Their boys are super cute and really fun. We had a great time.

Thomas had a great time playing with all of Billy's toys, especially his "fast cars." Billy and Thomas share a fascination with the Disney Cars movie (Queen to Billy, Fast Car to Thomas). Billy is definately better at sharing than Thomas, he has a brother and practices daily. We even braved eating out with all three kids. They did great. With all of the excitement, Thomas got to stay up past his bedtime. He went to bed at 9 (instead of 7) and unfortunately woke up at 4 (instead of 6:30). So, we are really tired and looking forward to an early bedtime tonight. Enjoy some pictures of the boys!

Billy and his "taypo head."

Thomas playing with the "fast cars." After dinner he got to buy his own "fast car" at Target. He was REALLY excited.

All three kids playing blocks (no crying) and looking at the camera. The later being the most challenging.

Thomas fast asleep in his carseat, less than 4 miles from John and Suzie's house. (Suzie-he slept all the way from the Barrio Burger King to St. Joe).
