Funny kids

 It's always funny to watch Nolan do new things.  Well usually funny.  Not funny when he's flinging food across the room cause he doesn't like it.  Or when he's standing on a chair rocking back and forth. Or dragging large objects across the room.  He looks right at you when he does this stuff, laughs, and keeps doing it. So far he's pretty mischievous.  

Trying to figure out sunglasses.  Luckily he didn't poke himself in the eye while attempting this.

Keaton's been extra funny the past few weeks. I was doing something in the Kitchen, looked over and saw Keaton taping silverware to his head.  I have no idea why.  A few days ago I asked him to go get dressed and he came out with socks on his hands.  Underwear on his head.  A plastic flag tucked in the underwear.  A spiderman mask on his face.  And he was still wearing the pajama's he was suppose to take off.

Landscaper

Keaton and I have been working hard on our backyard, clearing out bushes and weeds.  He has been a great helper!  It was kind of a dangerous job for him since he was up on the hill (there is a rock wall about 3 feet high that you have to climb up to get to to the hill).  There was a pretty good chance he would fall off so I just hoped it would be on the grassy part.  Instead I was the one who fell onto Keaton. I was in the yard waste bin smashing the branches down and fell out onto Keaton below.  His whole back got pretty scraped up and I felt really bad.  Thank goodness he is a boy so scrapes are "normal".

Here's a random cute picture of Nolan. We work outside while he is sleeping.  He always wakes up from his naps with a huge smile like this picture.

Take me out to the ball game

Keaton and Dad went to a Mariner's game a few weeks ago with Keaton's preschool.  I thought I'd have all afternoon with Nolan but they were home shortly after they left.  I think TJ said they made it through the second inning and thought it was boring.  I kinda think they are too!

Pigs, sheep, Cows, Bunnies, etc.

We went with Grandpa to Kelsey Creek farm in Bellevue where they have sheep, cows, bunnies, chickens, horses and pigs.  Nolan was SO excited, running all over talking and pointing like crazy. 
So we thought it would be fun to go to the zoo.  Keaton has been to the zoo a few times and his favorite animal is always the horse on the carousel. That was his favorite this time too!  The tractor is probably his second favorite thing to see.  Nolan didn't get really excited about the animals either.  It was still a really fun afternoon and a great place for the kids to run wild!

Easter

My favorite part of Easter this year was going to an Easter party with ONLY Nolan.  We went while Keaton was at preschool.  I barely ever do anything with just Nolan so it was special. We kept it a secret from big brother.

 It's become a tradition to go to the Easter egg hunt at the Thriftway grocery store down the street.  They hid 35,000 eggs this year. 

Surprises from the Easter bunny. 

 It was great to have daddy back on Easter day!  We did an Easter egg hunt with him!

All about Nolan

Nolan's a hard one to get pictures of since he's always moving so they are blurry.  This is one of my favorite pictures of Nolan.  This guy is almost always smiling and being goofy.  Yesterday he was bending his juice cup back so the apple juice was shooting out.  He thought it was so funny, laughing over and over.  He also thinks spitting is pretty funny.  He doesn't think it's funny when I take him off the couch, standing on the couch is one of his favorite things.

Pointing is also one of his favorite things right now.  He points and says "ball."  Ball is the only word that I recognize him saying and he says it a lot.

Nolan looking crazy with a pirate sword and golf club and shiny necklace.

The boys do have a lot of fun together, lots of fun!!

All about Keaton

I have a lot more pictures of Keaton than I do of Nolan.  So I thought I'd share a few...

Kids are crazy, he just decided one morning to put this crazy wetsuit on along with a mask.

We've got a grocery store that has kid size grocery carts.  I use to avoid them because they were a nightmare. Keaton crashing into people, stuff in store. Once he had a cart full of groceries and dumped it over in the front of the store.
He is now really good with them and a good helper.

Keaton started soccer a few weeks ago.  The whole thing is a lot more serious than I expected for a team of 4 year olds.  His first game wasn't good.  He grabbed the ball during the game and was told he couldn't use his hands so he started crying. Then he refused to play for most of the game so we watched.  Then he fell off the bleachers, basically doing a somersault. So we  left with him screaming in my arms.  We went out for a donut after and decided that we would have a donut after each game.  That made it all better.
