Cousin Love

We had a delicious dinner at the Sullivans last week. It was so fun to see Bobby and Olivia "interact" together. It is so neat to see how similar they are and watch Izzy oh and awe over Olivia. Thanks for the delicious meal!
Checking each other out!
Super proud cousin!

Olivia isn't so sure about crazy Bobby, she was still waking up from her nap.

Olivia was coughing so Izzy started rubbing her back and continued for a few minutes.
Love these photos! Cousin bath time.
Giggles!

Haha!

Seriously, so cute!
Izzy loves photos and Olivia!
If only she did this more often for photos with Bobby! :)

Bobby loving Olivia's bear!
Love this little guy!
 
Bobby will eat anything. He saw Izzy eating ravioli and wanted some.

Big girl with her towels after bath!
Giggles after Stella gave him a little kiss.
Izzy had a makeup class for gymnastics last night. It was that classes' last session, so she got a ribbon and got to say TADA on the mat. She was super proud. She'll get to do the same thing at her class on Saturday.
Goofball. Thank goodness we signed up for next session that starts the following weekend.
Lovely Smile!
Scary face!
Teething!

MinneSNOWta!

Okay MN, this weather is getting really old! While I love that I got a snowday today, I also don't want to teach until the middle of June! We had a "heat wave" on Tuesday and Wednesday so we played outside. Today, it was a little too cold out, so we brought the snow inside! It was a great snow day! No snow day is complete without a trip to the pool after naps!
We had to walk in the street, but it was worth it!
Trying to build a snowman.
She loves to have me build a snowman and then she knocks it down.
Love this little man!
Taking a little break from the cold to chew on his hat.
Izzy's changing station...
Me Bobby is starting to crawl backwards...eek!
Pretty proud that he got into the corner
You brought the snow inside mom?!
First snowman built...
And then knocked down...
Second one built! Stella wanted in on the eyes and nose, but Izzy ate them first.
Showing Bobby what he has been missing, how to eat snow.
He figured it out quick!
Goofball 
Backed into a corner again

President's Weekend

I love long weekends! We can enjoy our mornings, stay in our pajamas as long as we want, and snuggle and play games. That is.....until Miss Independent decides to "share with her brother".
 
I went to change Bobby's diaper and came back downstairs to this lovely mess. She literally dumped the whole box of granola out on the table and on Bobby's tray. She was super proud, "Look Mom, I share with Bobby!"

After a little lecture, she was left to clean up the mess herself, which of course, made an even bigger mess. She had to pick up every piece of granola and put it into a bag.

She had to vacuum up the pieces on the floor too. 
Bobby got to hang out with the James gang on Saturday while Izzy had gymnastics! I think he enjoyed himself!

Thanks for watching him guys!! He looks pretty content checking out the fish tank!
Loving some boy time!



We went to the gym's Splash pad on Saturday and Sunday night, best investment! Izzy loves the frog slide.

Bobby loves his new floaty.
Izzy had to take him under the sprayers of course. 

Izzy was super proud to tell me that she got into her drawer and got her brush for me. I asked her how and she showed me.....LOVELY!

Izzy likes to say, "Ice, Ice baby" whenever she walks on the ice outside.
 My shopping buddy. If only I could get this kind of smile out of her all the time.
Instead, I typically get this smile. She was pretty proud to sit in the big part of the cart at the store with the groceries. 

As part of Izzy's consequence for dumping out all of my granola, she had to use her $5.00 that Nana sent her for Valentine's Day and buy me a new box. I am not sure it worked, she was so proud to give the cashier the money and told her "I dump Mommy's cereal on the table. I buy her more." She even asked for the change. 

The Daravingas' came to the pool with us on Sunday. Once Izzy had food in her, she had a blast swimming and playing with them. 


Using a kick board to swim like George and Katelyn. 

Mr. I Don't want to be a Baby anymore decided to suck down two applesauce packets on his own while Izzy played. 

Waking up and looking out the window at the snow. Seriously, I think Bobby's head is bigger than mine. :)

Making a Thinking of You card for our daycare provider, her mother-in-law passed away. 

While Bobby was napping, Izzy and I headed out to play in the snow. Note to self, makeup does wonders!

Hard lesson to learn, you can't scooter in the snow. Trying hard to push her stuck wheel.

Stella came to play too, but the snow is so deep, we'd lose her sometimes.

We tried to build a snowman, but the snow wasn't sticky enough.

Being goofy.

Izzy was helping me "brush" off the cars.

And shovel

Daddy came to the rescue and had Izzy put on a face mask and scarf, you can tell she really loved the idea. 

All bundled up so her asthma won't flare up, poor girl. She sat on the snowbank while I snowplowed. 

She looks so young here. 

We came inside and played a game. I put shapes and the letters in her name on paper and would tell her things like, "Hop to the letter Y or crawl to the triangle." She LOVED IT!
