Gone fishin'

Spencer had his first fishing outing last weekend and LOVED it. Micah took him 'shopping' for his first fishing pole and as you can see it is the coolest! They didn't catch anything but had a lot of fun anyway. Here are some photos of the fishermen:

Of course I don't have any of Mason fishing (yet) so here is a photo of him with his favorite teether - a plastic hot dog - which looks like a baby cigar! The other is of him pulling up to watch TV. He now knows how to turn the TV on and off and on and off and ... you get the picture.

Moving

That's it...we're moving. Yesterday it was 83 degrees, today it is snowing. I can't handle it! I should be working for the Weather Channel and getting paid to talk about the SD weather this much!

Okay, freakout over.

We're not really moving.

April showers bring...worms!

"Me no like worms" or so Spencer says. (Insert Spencer going to Cabella's with Micah recently and asking to revisit the worms 5 times). But it's finally been rainy which has given the boys a chance to go outside and play in the rain...and of course hunt for worms. It took us awhile but we found quite a few. Don't worry squeamish readers, I am not posting any worm photos, just a few of the boys in their 'rain gear.' We had a lot of fun and got really muddy. When it was time to come inside we were locked out...uh-oh! Thankfully Spencer knows how to open the porch door so we boosted him inside a window into the enclosed porch and had him open the door. So the moral of the story is: we think Spencer secretly does like worms and just isn't ready for the world to know it yet. We'll keep you posted.

Not one, not two, but three!

That's right, three. Three blizzards in less than two weeks - crazy right? We thought Spring was on it's way but it is taking longer than expected. After lots of frustration from the start of the third blizzard yesterday (Micah getting stuck on the freeway, having to rescue him, etc) we decided to make the best of it today and go out and play in the snow with the boys. We went sledding...Mason loved it, Spence preferred to run up and down the hill. We finally had success at making a snowman (previously Spencer would kick them down before we could complete them). But now we are really ready for the snow to leave and we will be super happy if we don't see it again for another 6 months or so. Here is a photo of Mason's first sledding experience:

Spencer's Seven...among others

In honor of Spencer counting to 7, here are 7 of his favorite things:

*Favorite book: Tex and Sugar: A Big City Kitty Ditty (highly recommended)

Other favorites include: 'cooking', wrestling, running, dancing, reading, bugs, being outside, his cousin Zach, talking, 'hot chalk' (hot chocolate), Baby Bookworms, any and every kind of 'treat' he can get his hands on, talking, his friend Ben, feeding Milo, mr. potato head, books, his grandma's cat - Stormy, laughing, did we mention talking?, cars, his new firetruck rainboots, and the phone. (Please note, this is not an all-inclusive list!).

You know you're getting older when...

You know you're getting older when you talk about the weather, right? I mean really, no one talks about it when they're 12. Well, so be it - I'm old. I am so sick of the cold weather I can't stand it! The other day it was super cold....so cold in fact that Phoenix was going to be 70 degrees warmer for the day! Seriously? Yes, seriously...70 degrees difference. Oh how it made us miss Arizona! Thank goodness Spring is on the horizon. All of you stuck in the cold know what I am talking about. And those of you that are in the warm weather can rub it in now, but it'll be super hot for you real soon and you'll be the ones envying us!

Anyways... I thought I would post a few new photos of the boys. We finally decided to get their photos taken at a 'place' and Spencer was not having it...he took a few with Mason but would not take any by himself...with the exception of two and they were super posey (is that even a word?). You would have thought someone told him to pose that way, but no, he came up with it all on his own.

Also a photo from St. Patrick's Day. We love St. Patrick's day at our house and so we dressed in green (of course), danced to Irish music and made shamrock shaped cookies. (And key lime pie for micah...no, not very Irish but green).

Mason is finally crawling around...not very fast yet but he's happy to be getting around. And Spencer? Well, he can count to 7. That's right...our two year old can count to 7...amazing, I know. Enjoy the photos!
