75 degrees and rising!

O it is a wonderful thing when we can get out in the beautiful weather and enjoy spring!
It is beautiful here, getting so green with the cherry blossoms coming and yesterday we took full advantage of the 75 degree heat, rolled the windows down in the car, and went to 2 different play areas so the kids could enjoy! They had a blast, with the highlight being an underdog on the swings for Cash, and the highlight for Griffin getting in the swings for the first time! I think it is safe to say he loved it!

Funny side note - as we were driving home I rolled the back windows down for the boys and all of a sudden I hear Cash saying: "mom, mom - I need to put my toes out the window - they need air, I need to get them air so they can breathe!" It was so funny, altho glad he really couldn't reach them out because he was sure trying hard! LOL

Tomorrow is supposed to be 80 degrees, so probably do it again! (unless I am too sunburned!) I can feel my arms a little and since they haven't seen sun in months think I might have gotten a little color! Bring on the warmth!


O my cuteness!

He liked the baby swings and the big kid swings! A big improvement from 2 months ago!

Cash not wanting his picture - but at the next play area he wanted it a lot and I missed out - so too bad these are the pics I have!

Cute cute CUTE Griffin - love his legs, and his super cute smile! (sorry for shadows - it was taken at 5 pm w/ my phone) Anyhow, Cash wore this outfit at 1 years old - and Griffin is only 8 months so think he is going to be a bit bigger if he keeps growing at this rate! He is 18.5 lbs now and eats a TON!!!
Brothers at the park - what could be better than being a mom of these 2?

A couple cute little clips of Griffin laughing as he swings! Such a cutie!

Traveling in Style!!!

We are SO excited about this stroller!
The boys love it, I love it, and I have a feeling it is going to be one of my favorite purchases of the year (or at least I hope since it is a bit spendy!)
Thank you Anne for recommending and letting us copy you, color and all!
Bring on the walks!

Watercolors!

After a playdate with Pierce, and his first time painting, I realized he needed some paints of his own! So our trip to Wal-Mart today ended with getting some paints and fun Toy Story pictures to paint (of course!) Cash LOVES to paint, and as you can see is a natural! His favorite color to paint with is purple! (Uncle Sam would love to hear this)

He is so much fun now! He uses super big words all the time and comes up with the most funny sayings - somehow using the big words correctly - such as "seriously dad?" "that isn't so - nope, that is not true!" "dag, nab it!" "i like this a lot mom! I really like it!" "that's annoying!" "hey griffi, we are just hanging out", "Shoot! That's a bummer" "i love you mom - are me and griffi your 2 favorite cute boys?" and my favorite....."your shirt is cute mom - you look pretty! (spoken last night!)"

He is such a little smartie - remembers everyones names and birthday months, places we lived, knows where he was born, recognizes all his letters and a word that starts with each, knows all his numbers, how to spell his name, remembers where I put things when I can't find them and goes and gets them for me, and even knows can do a few simple math equations! (ok, not really this last one!) But you get the point - he is pretty smart and is definitely my favorite 2 year old in this world!

Now, if I could just get him potty trained - any tips on this??? Need advice please!

Poor Griffin!!!

This poor little guy woke up with the pukes last night!
I felt SOOOOO bad watching him, and yet it didn't seem to phase him much.
As soon as he threw up he was back to smiling and bouncing up and down!
Today he seems better - and is showing off his cute bib from Rian!

Let's hope we don't have another night like last night for a long time!
(NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT feed your 8 month old clam chowder - think this might have been the culprit!)

PEEK!!!

I went into Griffin's room to get him from nap and found him like this!!!
He just looked up and grinned through his binky and squealed in delight!
So funny!!!



Probably should tie this on or take it off - but hey, sometimes he will play in his bed for extra half hour with it? Am I so bad for not removing it?!?

O To Love Oneself!!!

Wouldn't it be awesome if we were all were SO CONTENT with what we saw in the mirror!!!
What little things this guy finds joy in!
I am trying to be more like him!

Best Buddies!!!

I have THE CUTEST kids!
When I say "who do I love?" to Cash he responds with - "your two FAVORITE cute boys...me and griffi!" Yep - I hope they know how much I love them!

So sweet! Cash ALWAYS wants to hold Griff these days!
Love them!
Smiles!
Already looking up to his big bro!
