May The Force Be With You

Papa Ed and Grandma Marcia went to Disneyland last year and got Ethan some Star Wars costumes. We thought we'd bust em out before Ethan got too big to fit them

Ethan loves Darth Vader now

Samuel tried on the Obi-wan costume, it even has a little side rat tail braid to clip to his hair

It even comes with light sabers and a little box in the vader mask that makes the breathing sounds.

Aside from the messy desk, this is D working on school stuff and wearing a child's robe while having a light saber fight with Vader.
He is the KING of multi-tasking.

He got soo into it

I went to check on him during his nap and along with him in his pink blanket
(yes his blankie is pink!) 
this is what I found

At first I thought he was just pretending...

...but no, he's totally asleep and sleeping with a mask on.

Thanks Grandma and Papa!

Samuel's Show

 Samuel had his end of the year concert, it was very good.

Sophie loved the music

She was captivated each time the music started

There he is in the front row!

Going back to the band hall

With his friend Z, they look so great in their tuxs

Go Samuel!

Park Friends

For the past 6 months Ethan and M have been best friends. When they first met they weren't sure about each other, I think there was some pushing involved, but M's mom and I started doing playdates twice a week and Ethan gained a best friend!

Unfortunately M and his family moved last week and it's been a hard week without them.
We love you guys!


They are so happy to get together at the park!

M's pretty mommy and baby brother

Sophie - binkie face

Eating lunch


The rest of the time they ran and chased and were too fast to take pictures of. ;)

Sleeping Baby

This might seem rediculous to some, but I love to watch my babies sleep.
They are so peaceful and cute!

Sophie using the same crib Ethan used and Daniel too!
Thanks Papa Ed and Grandma Marcia!

She's so cuddly

Look at those cheeks! Love it!

She's a tummy sleeper, just like her Momma!

Oh, she woke up!

Here she comes!

Hey Mom!


 I love you baby


Company Picnic

We have a company picnic every year and this year it was near the zoo! Even though it was earlier this year it was still super hot.

Ethan really likes bridges

D and Sophie at 7 months

We decorated bags for the pinata

We had lots of food, then waited for the pinata

Funny faces!

 This is her smile, just a big open mouth, then she kicks her legs really fast and flaps her arms.

We drank a lot of water that day!

Samuel washing all that brisket down!

I'm still trying to decide who she looks like more, D or I?

I love this man!

Ethan is second in line and very excited!

Here he goes! Down here in south Texas we have a lot of pinatas, so this is Ethan's 10 or 12th pinata that he's hit and he's only 3. He's going to be a pro!

All tuckered out, opening up a sucker.

We love the park

It's getting hot here already and we go to the park in the mornings or evenings.
Here we are at one of the parks we go to after D got home from work.

Sophie is so excited to be at the park!

Huge sandbox to play in

We had to take her out of the sandbox cuz she started to eat the sand!

What cuties!

This is my way of making sure the binkie doesn't fall down and get dirty. :)

Swings are her favorite!

I love his smile!

He's almost too big to fit in the baby swings but wants to be with "baby sister"

Going down the slide together!

Easter

Easter was pretty low key this year, we had a big party at our house for all our friends earlier in the week. Then we had a big family hunt on Saturday.


Ethan and I got a little carried away with the painting!


Here's Samuel assessing the front yard getting ready to find some eggs!


Ethan LOVES Easter!


Samuel getting some of the harder one's Daniel hid.


Basket is Full!


Sohpie got one too! I'm so excited for next year when she can have her own basket and Ethan can show her how to gather them and open them up!


He loves finding them!


We filled his eggs with different things but all he wanted this year were the jelly beans, he gave away everything else!
