I know all you moms won't believe me, but bath time is one of my favorites!!! They are both so happy and love playing in the tub!

Easter Morning!

The Easter Bunny came to Grandma and Papa's house this morning! the kids were so excited! Sam got a Princess and the Frog, a jumprope, a puzzle and tons of candy! Nathan got Alvin and the Chipmunks, some chalk and candy! We had such a nice time with our family in Ohio!!

We went to Ohio to visit family for Easter! It was a beautiful weekend and we had such a fun time playing outside!! All the cousins had such a fun time together!

We stopped in at the Ward's house to meet Phoebe Elizabeth on the way to Ohio for Easter!! She is soo cute and looks just like Mommy! Can't wait to go back and play again soon!

Dolphin Swim Club!

Sam just started swim lessons at Dolphin swim club! She loves it! We can't believe how much she has learned already! we want her to be comfortable with the water for our trip to Hilton Head this summer!!

Cary Easter Egg Hunt!

We had the Cary easter egg hunt today! No pictures of them actually hunting for eggs, things got kind of crazy! Nathan just ran around stepping on them and Sam freaked out because of all the kids and only got 1 egg! Wow, that was fun!

Kylie and Colin

We met Kylie Karaszewski for the first time today! She is such a cutie! Cooper is such a good big brother! Julie and Colin came with to play! He is getting so big, wow does he look like daddy or what?!

Coloring Eggs!!

We did out Easter eggs today! Sam even wrote her name on one! I remember last year this was kind of a disaster! It was so much fun this year, she is so independent and loves every minute of it!! Of course our monkey was taking a nap while we colored, what a mess that would be!!

woohoo!

Finally, some nice weather! We got to have a playgroup outside today! the sun was shining and the kids had a blast! Can't wait for the warm weather to stay for good!

Chuck E. Cheese

We had Landon's 4th birthday party at Chucky E. Cheese's today!! Daddy stayed at home with Nathan because it was so busy and our monkey would've been soo hard to handle!! Everything goes in his mouth right now and with all those kids, YUCK!!! Sam had a blast with her cousins!

Pics with CArrianne!

Wow, Elizabeth is 5! Can't believe how fast time went by us! She had such a fun day! We went over for the kid's party first which was a ball- the kids all dressed up! Later was the family party! What a fun day!

Park District With Rania!!

Today we met our frineds Kelly and Rania at the park district in Elk Grove! we had such a blast! they have a jungle gym play place and a Merry go round!!!!!! Sam and Rania couldn't get enough of it! What a cool place, we for sure need to go back!

A little backwards today!

Sam has been doing such a great job dressing herself every morning! Well, today she was a little off! HAd to post this picture!!

Vilma's birthday!

Sam was invited to her friend Vilma's birthday party today! Vilma and her family just moved to Cary from Sweden a few months ago! The party was so fun! Karin, Vilma's mom, always has the kids participate in Swedish traditions when we visit! They sang happy birthday in

Swedish and fished for their gift at the end! It is so neat to see these traditions since my great grandma(MorMor) grew up in Sweden! So neat!

Monkey's 1st bday party!

Nathan had his 1st birthday party today! Since it is winter we decided to keep it small and just invite family- yeah right even that isn't small!

We stuck with a monkey theme because he is our little monkey!! My mom made the monkey cake and I made the cute little banana cookies! We still can't believe how fast this year has gone by! I feel like just yesterday he was in my tummy and I couldn't wait to find out if he was going to be a boy or girl! I guess now it's time to start trying for #3 right? HA! Thanks everyone for making it out to share his special day with us!
