Getting so big... 5.5.2013

Easton is getting so big.  It seems like he has lost that toddle look and is moving right on to my little boy.  He is so full of energy and keeps me on my toes.  He is constantly into something or making a mess somewhere unless he is watching one of his favorite movies.  Here he is all dressed for church.  Doesn't he look handsome?

Shades, a pool and Mother's Day Celebrations... 5.4.2013

With the money from Grandma and Grandpa, Easton got some sun glasses, a swim suit, a pool, a hopper ball and some bibs.  We decided to fill the pool and let it warm in the sun a little while we went to lunch.  The kids were so excited!  Madi said "I thought we were getting a big pool."  Guess this wasn't as big as she had hoped. :D

Easton loves sunglasses and frequently carries around a pair of Madi's.  We decided it was about time he got his own pair. 

 

My handsome little man...

We went to lunch at the Little America Cafe with mom and dad to celebrate Mother's Day since we had our day of service on the Saturday before Mother's Day.  While we waited I took Easton outside for a few pictures.  He is such a cute kid.  I love him!

After we finished eating Madi decided she wanted her picture as well.  I hoped to get a good one of the two of them. 

I love this one of the kisses!

After lunch we went to mom and dad's for awhile and then to Old Navy to get the kids some flip flops.  They each came out with three pair of shoes.
Derrick and I were on a date and saw this swim suit and knew Madi would love it!  Since my kids pretty much live in the swim suits during the summer we bought it.  We left it in the bag on the table and before I could even get out of bed the next morning I heard Madi rummaging through the bags.  I started upstairs and she met me half way wanting to know who it was for.  I told her it was for Easton and she looked crushed and said "I wanted it for me." Cute girl!

Here is Easton in his new suit he got with his birthday money.

The water was still pretty cold...

Madi only stayed in the pool for a minute then was off to her favorite spot, the trampoline.

Kiss the Cook... 5.3.2013

Madi loves to help us cook and has done this many, many times, but this was a first for Easton.  He has recently figured out how to climb on the counters and had a blast mixing my oats, flour and sugar.  Such a good helper!

And the birthday continues... 4.29.2013

Since we decided not to go to Disneyland we decided to give the kids their original birthday gifts.  Derrick stopped and got it from mom and dad's where we have been hiding it and brought it home.  Easton watched out the window as Derrick brought it out of the trunk and was SOOO excited when he saw a Cars box.

 

We got him the Big Bentley Cars Geo Trax set.  He and Madi loved it and they were so cute to play with it together.  I was really impressed that Madi wasn't more grabby and let Easton do it.  She ca be such a sweet big sister when she wants to. 

Madi likes playing with Finn and Easton LOVED McQueen. 

I think there is many hours of play in this thing.  Hopefully Madi is as excited about hers.   I think she will be.
