First Days of Spring!

Well, this week has been so beautiful. We have definitely taken advantage of the warm weather. Last Tuesday we went to the park and played. On Thursday we went to the zoo with grandma T.T., Jamie, Taylor, Lindsay, and Allie. It was a nice day and the animals were all very active. We even got to see the black bears wrestle! Tate and Bryson rode on the carousel and the train. It was especially fun to see Bryson so excited. Last year he was too young to really get excited, but this year I loved seeing his face just light up as he rode! On Friday we went to Wheeler Farm with Karen, Easton, and Kallie Reid. The boys had a great time just running around. We fed the ducks and went on a wagon ride. Then on Saturday we took the kids to the park to fly a kite. It was so much fun! They each got their own kite that they flew! Can you guess what kind of kite that Tate picked? They loved it!

As you probably could have guessed.....This is Tate's kite!

The "Yummy Spree"

So yesterday while Tate was at preschool, I ran a few errands with Bryson. When we got in the car, Bryson had found a Spree candy on the floor (yummy!). To tell you the truth I am not sure where it came from because I didn't buy any sprees. So Bryson put it in his mouth and I buckled him in the carseat and we were off. While we were in the car, Bryson was trying to tell me that the Spree was gone. I asked him if he ate it all gone, but he kept saying something about his nose. I then asked him if he had a runny nose and if he needed a tissue, but I didn't have a tissue with me. I tried looking up his nose because I thought maybe he was trying to tell me that he had a bloody nose. I didn't see anything in his nose. To make a long story, short-Bryson had put the spree in his nose!!! Oh my gosh! Luckily he blew it out! It had to have been up there pretty far because I had looked up into it and didn't see anything! That couldn't have felt good considering Sprees are sour! Bryson is still experimenting apparently. I think he will be a child that will always experiment like when he experimented with the shower drain and got his tiny little finger stuck and had to get stitches! He definitely keeps me on my toes!

Spring Fever

Well, I have not written in quite awhile. I guess I should summarize what has been going on with us. Bryson has been learning to talk this past month. He says the cutest things. He went from only knowing a couple of words to now saying full sentences. My little baby is growing up! Tate and Bryson have become even better friends and maybe it is because they can finally communicate with one another. They LOVE to wrestle before bed with dad. They get on their superhero costumes and then go tackle Tyler. They love it!

This past weekend we've been hit really hard with Spring fever. The weather has been so nice that we've all been outside playing. Tate and Bryson go in and out of the house playing. They both love to play sports. They play baseball, soccer, Frisbee, and basketball. Bryson's favorite toy is a full size basketball that he dribbles all over the house. He made us take it to church today. We drew the line at leaving it in the car, though.

Yesterday we went to the St. Patrick's Day parade at the Gateway Mall. We've gone the last few years and the kids look forward to it. They are mostly concerned with getting free candy, but they also like to watch the floats and all the interesting people. Is it weird that we go to the parade every year and we're not Irish, Catholic, Democrat, nor do we drink beer? But, we like it. The kids have fun.
