Composer

Our Little Composer

One can never sit down at the piano without a buddy to share in a duet. He loves to just sit there and play. He hasn't composed a symphony, but he has mastered the dramatic hand positioning for the last note.

Happy Birthday, Spencer!

It's My Birthday! Spence blew his candles out before we sang Happy Birthday, so we had to light the candles again and then sing to him. When the time came at the end of the song for him to actually blow the candles out, he was too embarrassed to do it, so he got some help from his big bro!
Spence and Ryan
Spence and Bailey - Spencer calls her "My Bailey." Everyone together, "Aah..."
Happy and content after the fun of opening all of those presents. He got a box of Cars books, a Cars How to Draw Book, a Cars Shake and Go Car, a Cars tent and a Cars picnic table and chairs. Can anyone see a theme? I think someone loves Lighting McQueen. Ka Chow!

Easter Sunday

Going to church in our Easter best.

What a great day we had! We got together with Ryan's family before church and had brunch. It was a nice change from the normal dinner. Then, my parents came over after church. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the fun stuff.

Easter Saturday


We have an annual Easter egg hunt at Karen's house. Here are the cousins ready to go. Hey, Natalie, I think you are going to need a bigger basket! Nice bunny ears, Carson.

The Line Up

The boys made a haul. Tons of eggs and candy. They also scored some disc launchers and (much to Ryan's dismay) some sidewalk chalk. Thanks, Aunt Karen.

Carter


Spencer

Both boys are happy to have a little sister. Carter is always wanting to give her kisses and Spencer always wants to hold her. They are both sweet as can be to her. It doesn't mean that there isn't any jealousy though. I know that it is time for one-on-one time with Carter when he wants me to play video games (sad when you ask your mom), and I know when to spend time with Spencer when he says, "Put her in her Boppy mom." I am a lucky mom to have such nice children who want to spend time with me; we'll see what happens when they're teenagers.
