First Glen Oaks Carnival

The PTA puts on a carnival each year at Zac's school so this was our first one. Here is Tyler throwing a pie at Zac's teacher Zac throwing a pie at Mrs. Stepler. If only high school kids got this kind of oppurtunity!

Zac got his face painted with a baseball of course!

Spring Activities

We took the boys to the Museum of Nature and Science while Grandma Gail was still in town. They loved it and the best part was, it emptied out at the Children's Museum which they also loved!

Here they are digging for fossils

Zac started playing baseball and he's doing amazing!

And the boys were in the pool for the first time on the last day of winter in March! The water was a whopping 58 degrees!
They helped Daddy build a frame for a vegetable garden and planted veggies of their choice

Don't look so sweet and innocent? Good thing I know better!

Broken Butt

I was getting ready to give the boys a bath last night and I realized that Tyler was stinky. Zac was brushing his teeth so I lay Tyler down on the floor of the bathroom to change him. I was talking to him about how it is way past time for him to start to going poop on the potty. I mean he is almost 3 and half and wants nothing to do with it!

I hadn't realized that Zac was paying such attention to what I was telling Tyler but he finished his teeth and looked down at Tyler to say "You need a new butt". Tyler was very worried and relied, "Noooooo". I asked Zac why Tyler needed a new butt and he replied "Because his is broken".

At first I thought he was referring to the joke that goes: Hey, is your butt broken, cuz it has a crack in it! He surprised me though and said very matter of factly, "It's broken because it doesn't work on the potty". I giggled!

Zac's First School Dance

Zac's school had a Valentine's Day dance and we got the boys dressed to go and this is how we found them - watching tv

Zac was very proud to be wearing a shirt and tie like Daddy

Late Christmas

We had a late Christmas celebration with Cousin Laura. Zac had been wanting a Dairy Queen Blizzard maker and he was SO excited to finally get one!

So we had to immediately make blizzards. Followed by more blizzards the next day!

And then I was messing around with the boys and Tom caught a shot of me 'flexing my muscles' by holding the boys up with my biceps! They were all too willing for this!

Fun with the Fam

We went to dinner one night - just the adults! Tried a new place called Guy Harvey's and it was great!

We tried ice skating one day...Zac was a little better than two years ago but he just wanted to mess around!

Tyler was NOT impressed!
