Virtual Art Gallery

Since the boys have been in preschool, they have been busy creating artistic masterpieces that they love to share!  I've decided to start a virtual art gallery of their work on the blog...running down the side.  Check it out!

Boy Bonding

We recently attended Noah's opening day for t-ball. We enjoyed watching Noah play ball and the celebration at the ball park (free food, games, bounce houses, and access to police/fire/ambulance vehicles. Then we went back to Noah's house for some boy bonding time. Noah, Sage, and Kai had a great time! Noah fed us lunch, showed us his gardens, let us play with his toys, and shared his swing set. The boys had a great time!

Hoppy Easter!

Multiple egg hunts, LOTS of candy, fun with friends and family, and remembering the reason for the festivities - all adds up to one great Easter weekend!

Everyday Matters

My little loves have really mastered the art of sharing. They even do it unprompted. Today, for example, when I picked the boys up from school, Sage had two suckers. As soon as Sage saw Kai, he said, "Here, this is for you," and hands him one of the suckers. So sweet!

A Storyteller in the Making

Sage "reading" to Kai...

Family Dance Parties

It's not uncommon for us to break out in a family dance party in the kitchen. Usually, Jared and I each grab a kid and let the music move us. Family dance parties always put a smile on all our faces.

Here's a video with just the boys...

Let's Sing!

Here are the boys singing some of their favorite songs from school.






Here's Sage singing a Christmas song - or songs (he did a little remix)... "Good TINIES we bring..."

A Lesson In Life Cycles

The boys have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly.

The caterpillars have formed their chrysalises and we're waiting...

So Much Fun!

This Is Why They Have Those Signs Posted...

Yes, that is my children standing and jumping on mattresses! Jared and I recently upgraded to a king size bed and went mattress shopping. Sage and Kai wasted no time discovering the joy of jumping from mattress to mattress in the store. Even though we knew it was clearly against the rules (signs posted - Do NOT let your children jump on the mattresses), we couldn't help but laugh at how much fun they were having. Until, they wouldn't stop! Needless to say, that was the end of mattress shopping.


But, we can't ruin all the fun. So, the night before the old saggy, baggy mattress was removed, we let the boys jump away!
