Show me your scariest face....

Chicken Little

Owen's kindergarten class performed a play this week. Owen played the part of "Chicken Little". He had several speaking parts and they sang some adorable songs. Here are a few highlights.

Slice of life

Last night, I was emptying our camera to make sure we have plenty of room to take some videos of Owen's upcoming play.  I fell in love with this little show.  It shows so many truths of our daily lives:  1) Molly has the cutest little voice and is experimenting with all sorts of new words.  2) We've almost given up on making her sit down on the kitchen chairs (she tirelessly gets on them).  We're focusing, instead, on teaching her to safely get down and showing her that the table top is off-limits:-)  3)  She holds a pencil correctly!  4)  The boys love playing Legos...this game involves a shield generator, Ewoks and a big battle.  5)  Owen still hums when he plays.

May cuteness!

Recipe for the perfect spring evening:  sunshine and dandelions.

 When we ask Molly to show us the "cutest face in the world", she does this!  Love her 8 little teeth:-)

LEGO Kids Fest

Josh took Owen and Wyatt to LEGO Kids Fest in Denver last weekend.  It was 4 hours of Lego dreams come true for the boys.  They went with our friend John and his kids, Maxwell and Finn.  The boys had so much fun together!  Here are some of the highlights.  When Owen saw this picture, he said "This picture is so cool it should be the cover of a movie or something!"

 There were lots of picture opportunities in front of life-sized Lego replicas.

 There was a huge outline of the United States.  Kids could build things and put them in the state of their choice.  Owen built a tornado and put it in Oklahoma.  Wyatt built an eyeball and also put it in Oklahoma!!

Easter 2012

I never posted Easter pictures!  The kids loved, loved, loved searching for eggs this year.  Owen was so good about saving some eggs for Wyatt and Molly to find, so everyone had a blast filling their baskets. 

Has there ever been a sweeter face?

 Owen is doing his new favorite pose!

 The Easter Bunny brought camp chairs, sleeping bags for the boys, and a big ball for Molly.  I think he knew that we were getting ready for summer!

Almost all of our tulips were in bloom on Easter morning.  We enjoyed them while hiding eggs in the backayard.

 We also had a hot air ballon fly right over our house on Easter morning.  It must have landed less than a mile away, it was so close.  We could see the passengers and hear the fire really loudly.  The kids thought it was awesome (and so did the adults!).
