Down on the Farm

Isaac is loving books now...especially ones that have a rhythm to them.  One of his most recent favorites is a "Down on the Farm".  He taps his legs as we say "down on the farm" on each page and says the animal sounds.  Hannah and I take turns reading the pages to him..it almost doesn't get old.  Love these moments.  :)

My Little Man

Whoever said it isn't fun to dress a boy?  :)

A weekend at Grandma's

We always enjoy family weekends....here are some shots from a recent one.  

The kids love reading with Auntie Jill.  Note they are all sitting in the same chairs :)

 Testing out bubbles from their Easter baskets  

 Isaac and Cal

 Binki Buddies  

 now without  

 They lined all of their chairs up in the kitchen for a snack with Grandma 

 We got to meet the newest member of our family Myah.  She just precious and is very loved!  

Spring Flowers

The kids have loved helping me in the garden this year.  Hannah and I bought some gladiola bulb and put them in back in April.  They are coming up nicely now and she is so excited...we can't wait to see what colors we get!  She did almost all of the work herself!  

 And of course, Isaac wanted to join in the fun  

Monkey Jammies

With having a boy and a girl (which I LOVE) we don't do the matchy thing too much.  But they sure did get a kick out of wearing monkey jammies together!  I love how much they love each other!  

 My little monkies!  

Easter 2012

Finally getting around to post some pics...so behind again.

My precious children on Easter

 Daddy and Hannah matched  

 Egg hunt  

 Isaac loved it  

 Hannah did too..I think this was her surprised face!  

 Easter baskets  

At church, Hannah played in the bell choir, this was her second time.  See her in the pic...this is right before she put the bell on her head and held it there for the rest of the song...gotta love it!  :)

Dying Easter Eggs

My beautiful children excited and ready to go!

 EGGS!  

 Sissy happily did all the work

While Isaac was happy to sit and eat the ones that cracked :)

One Year Old Clara

 We sure do love this sweet little one year old.  What a joy it has been to watch her grow during her first year of life.  We loved celebrating her birthday with her.  Wish I would have gotten more pics...but I was probably talking too much :)  

Isn't she a sweetie?!

She got a sand box from her mom and dad.  They filled it with balloons for the party and it was a HIT!  

 her first tastes of cake :)  

St. Patty's Day

 Still posting pics from March...boy, am I behind. Anyway, we got to spend St. Patty's Day with some other Irish folk :)  We had Corned Beef & Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread, and Green Dessert...but best of all wonderful company.  It was little Cal's first St. Patty's Day...isn't he so cute?!   

New found love for coloring

Another thing that he has been doing recently that is like sissy is coloring.  It's neat to see him sit down for a few minutes and color a picture.  Yay Isaac!

Like Sissy

Hannah likes to be clean and is slightly ocd about "toe fuzz".  Isaac on the other hand, doesn't care about being dirty (he's all boy)...but he does like to be like his sissy.  She's rubbed off on him...here he is "checking his toes".  

more family fun and more birthday

While we were visiting Abby...we also were able to catch some family time and we celebrated Hannah's birthday.  

Hannah and Isaac loved fishing with Nana

We went to Chuck E Cheese for Hannah's birthday, and I think we vowed not to go back on a weekend...at least for a while (there were so many people there)...but the kids had fun!!  

 Everything is fun with Uncle Jay!

 yay for lots of tickets!  

 Birthday time, Nana made Hannah a cake

 yum!  

 Hello kitty bubble bath  

 kitty dress up!  

 We enjoyed time with Grandpa too.
