The kids picked out birthday cards for Matt (Lyla needed a little help) .
After dinner bath time! We've just started giving them baths together to save time.
SOOO much splashing!
I was soaked at this point...
On Sunday, one of Jack's school friends had a birthday party at Boomerangs, an inflatable/bounce house play place. Lyla got in on a little bit of the action, too!
He hung out with Linnea most of the time

Jack's school had their annual picnic/auction Saturday. Unfortunately, it rained all day so they had to move it indoors. Here he is with his friend, Linnea -- they were doing the Hokey Pokey with the "live entertainment"
Getting temporary tattoos.
Jack and Daddy "Bowling" in the background. He got all 10 pins, even though the ball was airborne......OOPS!
sweet Linnea
Landon and Alfonso
Jack and Justin
They were running all around the auction area bouncing into the padded wall. Wish I had one of those at home sometimes....
Jack's friends, The "Wonder Pets". He told me they were holding hands.
I couldn't get all three kids looking at the same time, but these are Lyla's friends from Kindermusik...
Brady, Lyla and Cole on their last day of class.
Both of the boys are around 18 months old and so they moved up to the "older" group. Lyla's left behind with the babies....
I took the kids to the spraygrounds at Celebration Park on Friday (yes, ALL by MYSELF!!). We had great weather and soooo much fun!
Jack played AROUND the water for a while until he was so wet that he finally went in. He's a "just put my toe in" kinda guy....
Lyla screamed and cried for about 10 minutes and when she realized we weren't going home...she went on in. She's more of a "jump right in" kinda girl...
Lyla with the big kids
Lyla AND Jack ( in the background)
She kept me running the WHOLE time!
She was fascinated by the drain.
Running to Mommy.....
Lyla and a "diaper buddy"
Such a great day!!
After several insurance "issues", Jack finally had his first visit to the dentist! Here he is in the waiting room....
Jack counted his teeth for the hygienist -- all 19 of 'em (we're still waiting on a molar). Then the dentist came and cleaned his teeth for him. He was a little freaked out when the chair reclined and when they turned on that super-bright light...but he did VERY well.
Aunt Michelle got this stroller for Lyla for her birthday...
She pushes various babies (pictured: Baby Big Bird) around the house...
hee-hee
One of the Mallards in our neighborhood had some ducklings -- EIGHT of 'em!!
Look at them all in a row, she looks like more like a teacher than a mom!
Going for a swim......too cute! I love Spring!
Bad Hair Day
Jack was playing so quietly in the kitchen and I heard him blowing something. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was blowing 6 (he had flash cards out) --when I went in to see what was going on -- i found the ENTIRE salt shaker poured out onto the flash cards, the floor, the chairs, Jack's nose and chin, etc....... Here's what it looked like, minus the cards...
We met our friends, Mandy and Brett, at the park spraygrounds tonight. It's hard to believe it's already "swimsuit" season??? I was so happy that Jack actually played in the water...
It was warm (80s) but VERY windy -- Brett decided early on that he did not want to play in the water, and he opted for the playground instead.
Brett waiting for Jack to come down the slide...
...the silly boys
Can't believe how big he looks compared to the "big" kids.
So crazy -- he just kept jumping up and down and spinning around.
