Good Times!

Last week Nathan’s sister Whitney and her daughter Naomi were able to come and visit for the whole week! It was really warm while they were here so we were able to spend quite a bit of time outside. We walked to the park a couple of times and the kids LOVED it! We don’t have a double stroller so Whit let me borrow her wrap to carry Jayden in on our walks and he did really well. (I kinda felt like I was pregnant again…)

Whit and I have been working on quiet books for the kids and we got quite a bit done while she was here… they are more work than I expected but they are going to be awesome when we are done! Here are a few pictures from our week!
Thanks for coming Whit and Naomi… we loved having you!

ABC's!

Lately Conner has been OBSESSED with the alphabet and loves to sing it. Whenever we get in the car he says “ABC song!” So we listen to the alphabet song over and over again wherever we go. It is a fast version of the song but he loves to sing along and does a pretty good job of keeping up! He also has to point out all of the letters that he sees… on license plates, t-shirts, etc.… and says “ABC’s, ABC’s!” He recognizes almost all of the letters now and even knows what sounds some of them make!

Here he is singing his favorite song!

We are proud of Jayden’s skills too… the obvious one is being super cute! :) He has been smiling while he is awake for a couple of weeks now but he is usually looking past me. Recently I was able to tickle him and get him to smile AT me! I can’t get enough of his cute little grins!

Easter and Other Randomness...

The Easter bunny was very generous this year… Conner woke up to lots of presents and hidden Easter eggs. He had a ton of fun running around and finding all of the eggs. He kept saying "More eggs!" Afterwards he opened all of his eggs and helped sort the candy into Ziploc baggies.

Here he is checking out his PILE of presents:

He got this cool John Deere lawn mower so that he could help Dad mow the lawn. Conner still asks every few mornings “Easter bunny, eggs, presents?” Although Jayden didn’t participate in the egg hunt he got some cute P.J’s and toys in his Easter basket…

Other random pictures...
Conner wanted Jayden to sit next to him in his beanbag...


Yes, Conner is wearing my nursing cover...
Conner trying on his aunt's old dance costume... his Dad was not home to save him. :)

Jayden wearing the same bear outfit that Conner wore home from the hospital!

Nathan's sister Whitney was nice enough to drive all the way up here to take pictures of Jayden and I think that they are going to be so cute! I will post them when I get them... thanks Whit!
