The red bucket

Taylor is obsessed with this bucket. When we play in the basement she goes to find it in the corner and claps, climbs on it, climbs in it, turns it over and drums on it. She is territorial over it and rarely lets Maya climb in with her, not that Maya doesn't try repeatedly! She even falls off constantly and does NOT mind one bit.

Soccer Season #2

Luckily this is how they waited their turn and not how they "played" the game!

Go RED DIAMONDS!!!! Teagan is so excited to be playing again. She really enjoys soccer, which we love to see. She is very excited to be wearing red, since we have a wide array of red hair bows in our collection. She loves seeing her girl friends on the field and even likes the boys she plays with a little too!

Maya's first big girl boo boo

Poor Maya finally took a spill after trying to perfect her walking skills. Unfortunately it was while outside on the concrete. It wasn't so bad, but seemed that way since she hit her forehead, cheek, nose, and upper lip. The good news is that it finally made her 4th upper tooth pop through the gum!

Magnolia Tree

We wait all year for this tree. First it is bare from winter and then these blooms appear out of nowhere. They are sadly gone less than a month later. The green leaves are pretty too, then Fall comes and the tree goes bare again. We wait again all through the Winter while the buds get ready to bloom again. People stop and stare and even take pictures. I know it sounds silly, but we love being the owners of such a show stopping tree. Oh, did I mention that the petals fall all over the concrete and stick like glue and become slippery and gross...it's worth it though.

Thomas "panties" make potty training so much more fun.

Pictures like this one make the long lasting adventure of potty training more worth it for Mommy and Daddy!

"What's Uuuuuup?"

Park weather...finally!

Doggie!

Two babies, one swing, perfect fit!

I LOVE warm weather while the snow still sits on the mountains.

We have been warming up and couldn't be happier about it. My kids are just so much more content when they can get some fresh air and sunshine in their systems. We have been spending as much time as possible on walks, at the park and in our back and front yards.

Two little monkeys

We found these mini bananas at the store yesterday and HAD to buy them for the babies. They seemed to enjoy the skin as much as the fruit, yuck!
