One warm day

We finally got a warm enough day to go outside and play with some water.  The boys stayed outside for hours.  Give them a hose, measuring cups, and mixing bowls and they can keep busy for a while.

 Everson loved dumping the water on himself.

 Canon just loved dumping the water out on the deck.  We went through a lot of water!

 Bridger always loves being outside.  Getting to play in water is a bonus.

OGA Fieldtrip

Everson's preschool class took a field trip to OGA, a gymnastic place.  He was very timid at first and started to cry when he had to leave me and go down onto the floor, but after two minutes, he was totally fine.  By the end of their time there he didn't want to leave because he was having so much fun!

Everson loved jumping into the foam pit and did it over and over again.  More times then any other kid!  Here is a video of him getting permission to run and jump into the pit.

Bridger's 1st Birthday part 3!

My parents were not able to make it up for either of the two previous parties, so when they did come into town we had a third party!  My Aunt made the cute cakes!

Birthday cousins!

Eating his cake!

Brooklyn eating her cake!

Bridger's 1st Birthday part 2

We had another celebration for Bridger's birthday on Easter Sunday since the day before didn't work out with a lot of Todd's families schedules.  I don't think Bridger minded one bit to have another party just for him!

Eating his cup cake!

Opening presents!

Happy Easter!

Easter morning!  The only pictures that were taken that morning!  Maybe next year we'll remember to take more.

Bridger's 1st Birthday part 1

Our baby is 1!  We love our little one year old!

Birthday babies!  Bridger and his cousin, Brooklyn, are just three days apart.  She is older.

Bridger started out eating his cake very clean, but then decided to just dig in!

Aunt Shelley showed him how to chow down!

 Brooklyn also started out taking it slow and then dove right in.  When she was done eating her cake she started dropping it on the floor to let us know!

 Messy birthday babies in the bath getting all clean before opening their presents!

Easter Candy Hunt

Our neighborhood puts on an Easter Egg Hunt every year the Saturday before Easter, but this is the first year we have gone. I'm not sure why because it was fun and the boys had a good time. Instead of filling the plastic Easter eggs for the hundred kids that showed up, the people just throw the candy out into the grass and the kids hunt for candy. Our boys could care less if the candy was in a plastic egg or not. Either way they get candy!

Our niece, Kyrie, getting her share of candy and being very excited she found a sucker.

Everson ran out there, collected a good amount of candy and then announced he had as much as he wanted.

Best of buds

This was the cutest thing. The boys were so good today and asked in the most polite way if they could watch a show. So up on the couch they got. Usually they sit on their own cushion but today they were feeling especially nice to each other and sat right next to each other. I turned on the show and their giggling began. It was so fun to watch them both laugh at the same time and turn to each other and laugh even harder. They were definitely best buds today!

Snow in March?

The calender says it is suppose to be Spring already but I guess the weather has a different plan. We didn't mind because it gave us something fun to do this morning before the snow all melted away. All three boys liked being outside playing in the snow, especially the throwing snowballs at Mom part. Bridger just sat and watched and didn't know what to think. He didn't want to touch the snow, but enjoyed talking to the snowman. Everson and Canon loved throwing snowballs and making a snowman. It was fun while it lasted!

Everson - his eyes are pretty sensitive to the sun so it was hard to get a picture of him with them open.

Canon - getting ready to throw a snowball at the photographer (Mom)

Bridger - he sat happily in the lawn chair watching me and his brothers.

Everson was very excited to complete the snowman. It was his idea to add hair, which I thought was a great one.

Canon was already inside getting warmed back up by this point but Everson wanted a picture with the snowman and Bridger.

Our happy boys! Bridger looks less then thrilled, but I promise he was having a good time!

That's gonna leave a mark!

While Todd was playing basketball he got a should to the chin, which made him bite his tongue pretty hard. He said it hurt and it was bleeding but he didn't think much of it. Then he looked in the mirror and saw this (see picture below). Todd had bit his tongue so hard that he split it and now has a nubbin just hanging there. We were told by a very reliable source, Dr. Atack, that it most likely will not heal back together, so unless Todd wants it dangling there forever, he will have to get it numbed up and snipped off. Ouch!

Jedi Training

Once Bridger showed interest in wanting to be a Jedi the boys took it upon themselves to make Bridger their Padwan (Jedi Apprentice).

Everson underestimated Bridger's Jedi skills and found himself at the mercy of his baby brother. Don't worry, Everson was a smart thinker and used the force to get away and retrieve his lightsaber.
