Hope it was super cool, just like you!

Take Your Kid To Work Day!

Amya gets to be a junior engineer today! Dan's work is sponsoring a take your child to work day. Amya geared herself up with markers, paper, stickers, her princess book, fruit bars and her magic wand....oh yeah, and her woodland fairy hat!

Nelson is at work with me today...we decided to take the day off and have some fun! Free Starbucks coffee (because it's Earth Day) here we come!

Happy Belated Birthday, Grandma Chris!

We're happy you had a great birthday yesterday! We miss you!

What's With The Baldies?!

Amya

Nelson

Violet

They are first cousins!! Yet, the top of their heads couldn't look anymore different!

The Kid

Babes

I went to a baby shower this weekend and found out that our community had a spike of baby boys in February! After this picture was taken, one more 7 week old boy showed up! Makes me wonder if these boys will grow up to be friends. One a side note, the shower was for our friends Tracy and Tyler, who are expecting a girl...so she has her pick of little guys to hang out with!

The cutie in the middle slept the entire time! (Nels is on the right...he woke up right away and looked around the whole evening, with eyes open just a tad bit wider than needed, as always!)

My cute guys!

Community Easter

We went to the park last weekend to see the Easter Bunny! How do you like our Northwest weather? Amya was VERY excited to see the Bunny. He gave her some candy and a pink bunny, but Amya didn't want to leave. She just kind of hung out right next to him for a while (and made it into another family's group picture because she wouldn't leave). I tried to coax her away but apparently she was waiting for the bunny to shake her hand! It was very cute!

This is Amya's expression when she is really excited about something, but slightly embarrassed. So, she tries to cover up her smile. (Taylor anyone?)

After the bunny, we headed off the to coffee shop with a couple other families for some warm beverages.

The Hunt!

On Sunday, we went to Cathrine's Creek for a little hike, only to find that the Easter Bunny had been there before us!!

Amya had a blast looking for eggs (and if truth be told, so did her parents!)!

Fun pictures on a bridge

...Easter...

(the Easter Bunny brought Amya this woodland fairy costume!)

Oh No She Didn't!

Carol: "Amya, you're growing up too fast! Can you just slow down a little?"

Amya: "Mom! I want to get big like you and Daddy! I want to get my own boobs so I can feed Nelson with my milk!"

Carol: "Nice. I'll be sure to tell your brother that in 15 years so he can throw up in his mouth."

Fat Boy!

I've taken to calling Nelson, "Fat Boy" lately because, well, just look at him! Amya has picked up on it and I've over heard heard her saying, "Hey little fat brother!"
