Fingerpainting





Since Mother Nature can't make up her mind, we were stuck inside today so I got out the finger paints!!!! The kids had a BLAST and I didn't really mind cleaning up afterwards because this is something even Mommy enjoyed doing with them!!!

PS - Please keep in mind our house is a rental so we don't exactly have our choice of wall colors!!! I HATE our wallpaper in the kitchen.

Chick-Sitting

Story Time??
Conner did real good with the chicks....he really never tried to pick any up.
Emma wasn't scared of them but I think in this pic she had went to pick one up and it tried flapping its little wings.
Emma LOVED playing with the chicks.
Missy was hoping they would be lunch!!! We ended up having to lock her in the bathroom because she was going crazy wanting to get into the box where the chicks were.
A good friend of the family, Bob, had made a quick stop into Orscheln's to buy 10 more chicks to go with the rest of his chickens he has. Because Lewis got off work earlier than he did he asked if Lewis would bring the chicks to our house so he didn't have to keep them in his vehicle. Lewis brought them in and the kids had fun watching them walk around on our ottoman.

Spring is FINALLY here!

Emma is Mommy's little helper...she LOVES to dig in the dirt -- wonder where she gets that from?? :o)
Making a silly "ROAR" at Daddy as he's taking a picture.
Emma & Mommy
She looks like such a little lady here in her denim dress, beads and garden gloves.

Today, we bought a few flowers at Lowe's so Sara could get her "fix" and Emma helped plant the flowers and then water them after they were planted. She kept saying "water the flowers to make them grow big".

Sleeping Kiddos....


Kids find the funniest places to fall asleep.

Conner - 3-17-096

Our little man loves to be on the couch...whenever he is unhappy all we have to do is put him on the couch and let him be a little monkey....just like sister.

Emma's 1st gymnastics class

Having fun!!
This was taken through the glass window so it didn't turn out so well. Notice the tongue sticking out of her mouth....now that is serious concentration. LOL!

The instructor, Ms. Jessica, helping her learn to roll forward.

WooHoo!!

This was Emma's very 1st tumbling/gymnastics class today. We go once/week for 30 minutes. She had a blast and I'm so glad we got her enrolled. There are only about 6 total kids in her class so she gets more hands on attention. She's going to be quite the gymnast!!!

Cute Lil' Ghetto Girl

Emma found her Dora stocking cap in the laundry this morning when she was helping Mommy. She put it on and looks like a cute little ghetto girl wearing it around the house!!! It looks like here she is thinking, 'what's up'!!!

Leotard


Emma modeling her new pink leotard that we got her for her upcoming tumbling classes. She went and got her tutu on all by herself. One of the neighbor girls came over with a friend and played with Emma & Conner this morning and Emma was having fun playing princess in her outfit.

11-months old today

Happy 11-month birthday, Conner!
We love you,
Mommy, Daddy & Emma

Conner, 3-6-09




Conner enjoys being outside and playing in the sandbox. He is now walking more than he is crawling. Today was the very first time Conner had been observed going from a sitting position to a standing position without holding onto anything.

She's not Emma, she's "Princess" Emma!!!




Emma has really been into anything princess, unicorns and castles lately!!! It's so fun to watch her use her imagination and come up with things. She will often say "I'm Princess Emma". Always amazing us!!!

Digging In Dirt




Emma & Conner had fun playing with the dump truck, putting dirt in the bucket!!! Emma actually spent more time digging in the dirt than Conner....she always has liked getting her hands dirty. I'm sure she will be a huge help when it comes to planting a garden this year.

Uh oh...Spaghetti-o's!

Well, this was our first attempt at giving Conner spaghetti-o's....needless to say he didn't really care for them. I think they were too small and slippery for him to pick up.
This is the fun part of eating spaghetti-o's....the mess!

100% BOY


This car was given to the kids and both of the kids LOVE it...Conner especially! Once it finally warms up outside it will be even more enjoyable as they'll have more room to drive it around. Right now we have it in our living room!!!

Stamps...

The other night Lewis found that the kids had gotten into some stamps and this was the result!!! Glad they are non-toxic!!!

Both kids got their baths in Grandma Kathleen & Grandpa Larry's kitchen sink....the same sink that Lewis got a few of his baths in when he was a small child. Speaking of Lewis as a small child, he had his 34th birthday while we were in Nebraska over the weekend.
