Flowers For Mommy

I think every time I take Bop outside he finds a flower to pick and give to me.
He is such a sweet boy, he knows how to keep Mommy happy
Here is the latest flower he picked for me.

Whip Cream on the Top

The boys new favorite treat has nothing to do with taste. It is the way they get to eat it.

Out of the House (part 2)

Here are some more pics from our day at the park

There is nothing that boys love more then their Daddy...

I just thought this was a cool pic because it looks like they are going super fast.

Out of the House (part 1)

Dad says that Mom needs to get out of the house more so she doesn't go crazy (to late)

So we headed to a local park and had some fun.
They had a Merry-go-round
I didn't even know those existed anymore.

The boys had fun (as long as we didn't go to fast)

Burner of course had to do his all time favorite and swing.

Bop too.
I have some good lookin' boys.

Bowling

Bop has been asking to go bowling for a long time now. Knowing how much fun he has had bowling in the past, we thought it would make a great family activity this week. So we laced up our cool bowling shoes (fine we actually rented them) and headed down to the local lanes.

Here Bop is doing his happy dance.

I couldn't decide on just a few pics to put on here and I didn't want to bore all of you guys with a lot of pictures. So I did a short slide show for those of you who want to watch it. It only has 23 pics, so it isn't super long.

Bop's Favorite Subject

I just uploaded pictures from Bop's Camera.

He had a total of 127 pics.
His favorite subject was
BURNER
Here are a few pics that I really liked.
1. Doing his mean face again

2. He has a cute little smirk on his face

3. He must have been eating something chocolate. His face is a mess.

4. So sweet so innocent. (chocolate still on face)

To Buy List

My To Buy List

1. sunblock
2. swim diapers
3. swim shirt for Burner
4. toys for the pool

That's right folks, it is finally hot warm enough to swim

Bop swimming
It only took him a few minutes, then he was back to his "little fish" attitude, swimming all over the place and jumping in and out of the pool

Burner swimming
He was a little hesitant at first, but he learned fast and was jumping off the side (to mom's arms) before the day was over.

Nursery for Burner !?

Burner had his first official Nursery today. I say official because we have been easing him into it by going with him, to class. Today was the first day that we dropped him off and left.

He looks so cute and grown up

but what you all want to know is did he like nursery?
For the answer press play below.

He hated it.

He cried hysterically for about an hour then stopped only long enough to mess his diaper. (I think he knew it would get him out of there).

When I was taking him to change his diaper he was doing the little hiccups that you do after you have been crying really hard. When I asked if he was having fun he told me "no", when I asked if he wanted to go back he told me "no"

I took him back in anyways.

I hoped that since it was snack time he would be fine. He was fine for about 5 min, then he choked on a cracker. He signed "milk" but the teachers didn't know what he wanted so he started crying again. They came and got me so I could interpret for them.

Burner wouldn't let me out of his sight after that. I ended up staying the rest of the time.

But on the plus side,
1.when we got home, he was so happy, maybe even that happiest he has ever been.
2. The video that you just watched is so cute, it was all almost worth it.

DaVinci and more.

As a family we were able to visit a traveling Da Vinci exhibit.
It was so interesting and I wish I could have spent all day reading about and seeing his inventions. The part I enjoyed the most was learning about all the mysteries behind his paintings and drawings.

*Sorry but we forgot our camera and so you get cell phone pics.*

They wouldn't let you take pics inside the Da Vinci exhibit, so this is the only pic you get from that part of the museum.

Here I am as Mona Lisa

Because the Da Vinci exhibit was not very kid friendly, and a little boring for Bop and Burner, we split up. Dad took the kids while I went and looked at The Da Vinci exhibit and vice versa

I don't know if Burner is mad or what, but I know he looks so cute doing this face.

Burner was not really all that into

Burner's true love is

Easter (part 1)

Coloring/Dying/Eating Eggs

I was a little uneasy about letting Burner help dye the eggs this Easter.
He is 18 months old and loves to create messes.
I wanted him to be apart of the fun though.
So we decided to pull out the

Bop loves to color, so he loved this idea.
It also worked great for Burner.

Burner realized it was also fun to crack the eggs. This was fallowed by him

If Burner isn't going to color the eggs anyways, we might as well just


I should have realized that Bop would want to
I don't think they realized the more you eat, the less there is to find Easter morning.


While Bop was eating/dying the his eggs, Burner spent his time

When it was all done, Bop wanted to show off his 2

The Beach

The other day we were looking for something to do as a family.
We found this
the best part of it is , the beach is just minutes from our house.
Now it isn't the best beach I have been to, but it has a great

that provides beautiful views.

The boys favorite part is to watch all the

okay, I know there isn't any boats in that picture, it was just a bad angle.
There really was a ton of boats out on the water.
While we were there, a nice lady offered to take a

( I actually think he is squinting into the sun)
It still turned out pretty cute I think.

While the boys played and explored I took a quick pic of
just relaxing together.

Cry a little...

I remember a few years back my dad called me on the phone and told me a sad sad story. It went something like this

Bampa talking:
Everyone always gets mad at me when something really important happens, like a birth in the family or a death, and I forget to tell people so I am calling all you kids today to tell you...
Me (Mom at Our House) thinking:
Oh my gosh who died? Is everyone okay? What could have happened? Did someone get in a car accident? Do I need to rush to the hospital?
Bampa talking:
...someone broke into the garage and stole all my tools.

Okay so at the time I felt really bad for him. He had a lot of tools that he had spent a lot of money on. But seriously Bampa, did you have to compare it to a death.

Now I think a little differently. I still feel bad for him, but now I know why he would compare it to a death.

to my most beloved worldly possession may you

RIP

The reasons why...

a hat that is to small
a fluffy scarf
gloves
and
flip flops

these are the reasons I have to pre-approve
Bop's outfits before he leaves the house.

I've heard it exsists but...

My family and I got to experience something new.
We had heard rumors that it existed,
but since we moved to the area we had yet to witness it.
It was so exciting we had to take pictures.

It is Our
