Happy Birthday Daddy!

 Happy Birthday Daddy!  Thank you for letting the kids share your chocolate cake with you!  :-)

 

Swing!

The kids love to play outside and today was no exception.  After gymnastics we came home and they and fun blowing bubbles.  Eventually the boys got bored and wanted to swing; Olivier loves to be pushed on the swing and Mason has been working hard on trying to pump his legs.  Today Mason was able to pump his legs and swing for a long period of time (although I did have to remind him to pump a couple of times, it doesn't happen on its own!).  He is very proud of himself!

Bubble time!  And sticky mess after!  :-)

 Mason pumping his legs.

 

And here is a short video clip of Mason pumping.  Olivier was also swinging but that was with some help from me.  He is close to doing it on his own.  Yeah! 

Day off with Daddy!

Matt and the kids enjoyed an extra day off this past weekend and celebrated by going to feed animals, going for a hay ride, and visiting a rock labyrinth.  Fun morning which lead to good naps!  

 

 

Enjoying a sunny February

We had another sunny weekend and I got a few good photos of the kiddos.

First, here is one of Anna wearing the dress Heather made her for her third birthday and the wrap she made her for her fifth birthday.  Perfect for a princess!

 Now to the sunny pictures!  :-)  Olivier driving the "water truck" at the park.

 

 Mason was counting for me, although I am not sure why! 

 And after many attempts, I finally got a good one of Anna too! 

Haircut

Last weekend Matt gave the boys a well needed haircut.  It always amazes me how fast their hair grows, or at least seems to, in comparison to Anna's.  Mason did well and didn't squirm too much.

 Olivier was the wiggle worm and made it much harder but he survived!

 Today though, the boys decided they needed another hair cut and they wanted to do it themselves.  This is how Olivier cut his hair (don't worry, it is a plastic play saw!).  After I took his picture he said "now I look handsome".  :-)

And another funny Olivier note, he wanted up tonight but I told him he could only have a hug.  He didn't seem to want that so I offered a big bear hug.  He said "no, I just want a Mama hug."  How can deny giving him a hug when he says that?  I sure can't!
