The big T-W-O

My baby in now two!  Where did the time go?  I love my sweet little Peter and pray he stays just as sweet as he gets older.  He's starting to talk although it is still hard to understand and we're still waiting on potty training.  He'll sit on the toilet and enjoy it, but will not actually go to the bathroom yet.  Sigh....maybe when summer is over.

Holding his birthday cake with Aunt Brin.  In case you can't tell those are balloons.  He loves balloons.

Cutie

Big boy growing up

Sometimes I think he could just stay this age and I would be happy and then I remember the poppy diapers.  He loves to laugh and play.  He is a big outdoor boy and is very grumpy when we can't go out or when we have to come back in.  Grumpy may just be an understatement.  He loves with all his heart and body.  I love my little man.

Hats

Peter loves to wear hats, especially if they aren't his.  He happened to find Chris' baseball hat and looked cute running around with it and only a diaper on.

He came towards me for protection.  Someone was trying to take the hat back.  I didn't offer much but I did try to get kisses.  He would only tease me though.

Bowling

The Fam and I do mean all of us extended too, went bowling for Justin's birthday.  For part of it there was black lighting and Doug got some pics.  I was late because I had a physical therapy appointment.

The kids love bowling and we really should go more often.

Baseball

May was the month of baseball.  Games Monday-Thursday.  How we made it I'm not sure, but somehow we managed.  Life was crazy, but it was good for Evan and Chris to try out a sport.  At times it was fun and at other times it was painful.  Luckily we had some friends on the team so it made it a little more bearable on those not so fun times.

Evan's first game and he was a catcher

Evan hit the ball off the tee and was running to first base

Chris' first game

I probably should have taken more pictures, but really I was just tired and lucky to get the kids where they needed to be......

Peter

Peter's shorts were a tad too big, but he was so cute walking around in them and then the backwards hat and Evan's shoes.

Easter

This year for Easter we went to a local grocery store an Easter egg hunt.  This was our first time going and it wasn't bad.  I wondered how the children would hunt for eggs in the store but they had the areas marked off and did each age group at different times.  For Lex and Peter they blocked off the freezer section of the store and had the eggs and other prizes scattered on the floor.  When they said go the ropes were dropped and the children ran to collect.

Peter won a frozen pizza.  I believe if he could talk he would be saying: 

"Dad keep your paws off my food!"

Here are all children with their winnings

Easter morning dawned bright and beautiful and so are my children.  I made each boy a pink Easter tie and Lexie her Easter dress.  I love these kids so much.

After church we colored our Easter eggs.  Not too many because last year we had to throw some away.

April Fool's

Just in case we thought winter was done, the weather decided to remind us that it wasn't.

Happy April Fool's Day to us!
