Baking with Grandma



Owen loves to help out in the kitchen whenever I am baking. While Grandma was here this trip she decided to let Owen help her make me some peanut butter cookies, since I can't eat chocolate. The cookies were delicious!

Playing Games with Papa

Before my dad could escape to the shower one morning, Max suckered him in to a game of Hungry Hippos. Or was it that I pawned the task of playing that game to my dad, so that I could shower. Either way, I am pretty sure both thoroughly enjoyed themselves!!





And since it was his first time playing, Max let Papa win!

A Morning at the Park

Across from our house, we have a nice little grassy park with two different sidewalk routes that the boys can ride their bikes on.
Owen loves to go over their and ride his bike like a race car around the "track." Max likes to come along and gets around pretty quickly on his little motorcycle. After playing in the park for a while and watching the lawn mower cut the grass, we decided to get out of the lawn mowers way and ride around the block.
This was the first bike ride where both boys were riding! Maybe soon Max's legs will be long enough to ride the tricycle.

I'm so Happy

We took a little drive this morning to HomeDepot to price out some things for our backyard project. The HomeDepot, we shop at is conveniently located by a Kohl's, Target, BabiesRUs/ToysRUs, and now a Michaels!!!

At Last

Finally after living here for 4 months, we can get both cars in the garage!!!

Next, sorting and filing 2 years worth of papers!

A Cold Day in Vegas

It was a little chilly on Sunday morning, so I couldn't resist dressing Lyla in the handmade sweater that she received as a baby gift. It was a little big, and when I put it on her she looked at me like, "it isn't that cold out." I thought she was adorable in it, I think she will get to wear it more on cool evenings in Michigan this summer when she is a little bit bigger!

Tummy Time

I laid Lyla down for some tummy time. I told her she needed to stay there for 10 minutes. She screamed for 7, then fell asleep.

Sleep only lasted long enough for me to take this picture, then she screamed more! She absolutely hates tummy time, but I know we have to keep trying, because we don't want her to have to wear a helmet like her older brother Max had to do.
