Easter: It Was 2 1/2 Months Ago

Yes. We celebrated Easter. By going to FIVE egg hunts. FIVE.

We did one with some kids from church. They did some activities before including follow the leader. They were walking backwards here. Jake carried that stick the whole time.

Jake only got two eggs. 
Everyone else got like 20. 
He got two. 
It was sad.

The day before Easter we scouted out churches 
having free hunts for the public.

He did better on this one because they 
did the "Everyone Gets Ten" rule.

Thanks for the hard candy.

Church #2 didn't go as well, as parents were not allowed into the hunting area. But some teens felt sorry for him and gave him some big handfuls of eggs. Good ol' teens.

They had cute inflatable Easter decor everywhere.

They also had a fun train that went around the church.

Easter Day
Put your kid on a swing. 
He'll sit still for a picture!

He found the Elmo egg!

He totally won our front yard egg hunt.

He loved his HUGE Dinosaur Train coloring book.

He went to town coloring apparently 
evil dinosaurs on his new table.

Cracking the eggs.

Jack really wanted to help.

That baseball in a baseball is exciting!

Baskets make excellent hats.

And lastly the hunt at Mimi and Pop's house.

Jake found rocks.

They made it really hard for the biggest kid.

Jake enjoyed hanging with his BFF/second cousin (?) Joey.

Jake and Jack: 2011 Edition

Jake and Jack. They're more in love with each other than ever. Here are some pictures from this year.

When one looks out the window, the other one has to also.

They are usually on the couch together.

Now Jake will climb up in the recliner
with Jack and say "Take a picture!"

Heading to get the nails cut at Petsmart.

This is the set-up for a trip to Petsmart.

Hugs for Jack

One of my favorites of the two of them ever.

Rode in one of these things for the first time.
And every time after that.

Cheesed after bath.

Played at the park.

Lounged with Jack

Cheesed some more


Tried really hard to get the fridge open

Read (of course)

Told mama to be quiet because the animals are sleeping

Grabbed the closest thing around as a rally cap for the Rangers in the World Series.

Made "train tracks" (?)

...and did the Race for the Cure.

Those Times It Snowed

Alright people... massive blog posts coming up. We ran out of internet in January/February, then my computer died for like a month. That's why I've been absent. So here is the first of five posts.

We had two major snows here this winter. The first started just a week after we came back from Christmas break. I laid down for a nap after church on Sunday and woke up to find this:

Whoa. That fell fast.

Soon I got this message on my phone. Woo-hoo!

Later that night it looked like this.

The next day we got up to some good deep snow.
Time to bundle up!

Layer one: thermal shirt and pants with normal socks

Layer two: Fleece jacket, pants, and socks

Layer three: shoes, hat, and mittens

Add a coat and it's time to play!

It's fun and funny out here!

I'm covered in snow!

Isn't this fun, mama?

It's so funny!

The next day we were off again, so we went
back out when it was a little melted.

Ooooooo... snowball!

Some pretty wicked icicles mixed in with our icicle lights

Then a few weeks later, it happened again, just more of it!

Jake! Snow Day!
It snowed ALL DAY, so we kept
ourselves occupied in many ways...

Jake set up a construction site on the toilet.

He shook his shakers to Jack's Big Music Show.

I decided to make this yummy soup to stay warm.

Warning: If you move the soup into a new bigger pot, and go to clean out the former smaller pot, don't turn your back. Because the new bigger pot may still not be big enough.

The snow mid-afternoon

We read some weather-appropriate literature...

...rearranged some furniture...

...got out a LOT of toys and watched Sesame Street...

...and tried on everyone's shoes.

The next day when the snow stopped,
we bundled up to go outside again.

Happy Snow Day!

Funny thing is that he refused to move from this spot.

This gives you an idea of how deep it was... about 6 inches.

I tried to take him in since he was just standing there, but he thought it was fun getting on and off of the porch. And that was the total playing in Snow The Second.
It was cold and we weren't doing anything, so I took him in.

He really wanted to go back outside.

Meanwhile, Jack just kept himself warm in front of the heater.
