Spring fun

Yikes it's been a long time.  I'm afraid I have this problem, when I take pictures I take about 10 of the same thing which leaves me with hundreds of pictures, so sorry for the overload, in random order I'm afraid.

 There is this fun park in Centerville that the boys love.  The last time we went Bronson had tons of fun riding around the trail that has some pretty good hills.  He LOVES to ride his bike, and he's pretty good too.

 Blake had a fun visit with Grandma, she has just the right toy on her neck.
We sure miss having Grandma close by. 

 Levi loves putting on big shoes, he's my silly one alright.

 Levi had been riding a  little bike with training wheels but wasn't very comfortable on it.  When given a choice he'd prefer to ride his little red trike that he was way to big for.  So we decided to help him a little with a strider bike.  Oh my goodness, he had so much fun riding it.  Once he got the hang of it  he was cruising all over the neighborhood.  We went for a walk and he had to go down every single driveway,  it was so cute.  He was a balancing genius after about 3 days.  After a week we got him a new little bike and he took off.  No running along side him or pushing him to start, he was a little rider.  Luckily we still have Blake who can get some use out of this bike that lasted a week.  It was expensive but very worth it.  Levi is having a great spring riding his bike every single day.

 ta-duh

Blake loves apples, watermelon and frozen bananas in his mesh feeder.  

We will probably be seeing some new teeth in a day or two.

 Bronson the dare devil (just don't ask him to ride puff at Lagoon)

 Blake is rolling everywhere, he wants to crawl but isn't quite there yet.  I'm in no hurry, this is the best stage ever, tons of fun but not trouble makers yet.  He is pretty much the ray of sunshine in our house.  We love him to pieces.  He has such sweet giggles and yelling chatter.  He's also just discovered his tongue and doing all kinds of funny tricks.  His hair is getting so long.  I pretty much just let it do it's own thing, I don't want to cut it but I've never had a baby with so much hair so I'm not quite sure what to do with it except let it be crazy.

Nothing better than a sleeping baby, and a happy one when he wakes up.

 He is a little tornado.  We had to add the bumper pad after a few nights of head banging and legs getting stuck.  But he sleeps like an angel now, all through the night.

 Blakes curls after a bath.  Wet hair rubbed with a towel is all it takes.

 If he's not riding his bike . . . and daddy is home

 he liked his fresh green beans

 every MWF we've been heading to the park with Steph and Brock for some walking,
 playing and bike riding.  Blake is a great walking buddy

 Bronson started t-ball.  He loves to hit the ball but doesn't like being out in the field to catch the ball, he says.  Hopefully it will be worth the agony.  Not many 5 year olds have the attention for t-ball.  It is fun for him though, he loves putting on his uniform and wearing his snake hat.  They are the Diamondbacks. 

 Getting so big so fast.  My kids are very emotional.  

Laughter and tears are very close to the surface.

I don't know where they get that from.

 It seems like it's going to be a bit harder to make it to Lagoon as often this year with 3 kids and a lot to do around the house and yard.  Hopefully they will find a little courage this year to try some new rides.   We'd love to go to Disneyland but honestly I'm not sure they'd go in all the rides.
So we might have to wait a bit.

  Bronson and Levi were so excited for daddy's birthday.
  Bronson even wanted to skip his t-ball game for the party. 

 At the park where we walk there are some tennis courts.  Bronson thought we should get daddy some tennis rackets for his birthday.  It sounded fun to me so I agreed.  When we went to buy them two wasn't enough, he needed one for he and Levi as well so Jared got 4 tennis rackets and some tennis balls from the boys and new some new cologne from me.  Hopefully we can have some fun family time playing together.
