Pump It Up

We celebrated Brooke's friend Addison's birthday at Pump It Up. Since it was Jack's naptime, Joe stayed at home with him, which means that I got to play with Brooke all morning. As you can see, we had a great time.

my friends

These are Brooke's friends Gabby and Kayla.

Spring Fling

Brooke asked me to come to her school for Spring Fling, so I volunteered. It was so much fun for me to see her at school, but she didn't want me to leave.

stop and smell the flowers

run run run as fast as you can...

you can't catch me. I'm the stinky cheese man. Brooke and Ben love to run up and down the ramp at the zoo over and over and over...

the zoo

This was the first time Wendy and I had all 5 kids at the zoo together. It was definately an adventure. We only had seats for 4 of the kids in strollers and of course, Ben wasn't going to be left out so he rode in the basket underneath my stroller.

Happy Birthday Poppy and Aunt Gina

Today we celebrated Poppy and Aunt Gina's birthday.

only at poppy's...

would Jack be allowed to lay on the dining room table while eating birthday cake.

let's bake a cake

Brooke decided that she wanted to make a cake for Poppy's birthday. Really it was all about the frosting and licking the spatula.

only if you go in first dwayne

We went to Emily's birthday party and Brooke didn't want to play in the playground until Dwayne went in with her. I think that Dwayne had more fun than the kids.

my little inchworm

Jack hasn't figured out how to crawl yet, but he does this crazy inchworm move that gets him around. He gets up on his knees and pushes himself flat forward then starts all over again. He loves to go underneath the coffee table.

saturation

My friend Paula who taught me about saturation color in pictures, so I have been playing around with all my pics. This is one of my latest attempts. Thanks Paula for the photography lesson :)

just a swingin'

Brooke was so excited that she could finally
be on the big girl swing and Jack just loves to be outside. This was his first time in the outdoor swing.

I can do it

Jack is finally getting the hang of holding his bottle.

Everybody say cheese

I can't believe I actually got all the kids to look at the camera at once.

Jack's trying to eat Elmo

Brooke was worried about her Elmo egg. She really hates it when Jack slobbers on her stuff.

hunting for eggs

We were very concerned that the Easter egg hunt wouldn't happen because it rained so hard in the morning. It turned out to be a beautiful day and the kids loved searching for the eggs all over the yard.

Hoppy Easter

Nothing like starting off Easter morning with a chocolate bunny for breakfast.

Happy Birthday Mykala

Brooke loved playing in the bounce house at Mykala's 10th birthday party. The bubble machine was pretty cool too...

Rubber duckie make bathtime fun

Jack loves his bathtime!!
