March and April

Henry loves to help Dad mow the lawn!

Henry started sleeping in his "big boy" bed.  

We did this only because he'd started trying to climb out of the crib.

 Unfortunately he climbs out of the bed too!  

We now have the pack n play next to the crib for times

that he climbs out too often.  

My creative idea of spaghetti noodles in the tub...

he wasn't that interested...he's right, weird idea!

One morning we heard the little pitter patter of his feet

running from his bedroom to ours and then suddenly he stopped

and said "WOW!" as he noticed snow on the ground.

Henry started potty training just after Christmas.

Here is his stick that he LOVES!

Noah and Hannah with us at Running Y in Klamath Falls.

The girls went ice skating!

Hannah's first time...quite nervous at first, but ended 

the night like a pro!

K Falls Lake in the background.

Noah can tolerate Huck now that he doesn't drool 

all over his toys anymore.

We found him sleeping like this!   Exhausted from playing with big kids, snow,

swimming and climbing!

Henry loves helping make meals, especially stirring!

Dad & Ben at our Easter/J's Bday celebration.

Looking Dapper and he knows it!

The cousins.

The name plaque I made J for her 3rd  birthday.

Her gluten free cake that Heidi made.  The cake got stuck to 

the pan, so she created the rabbit hole that Pooh got stuck in.

Gluten Free dinner in honor of Mary's newly diagnosed Celiac's Disease.

Here is our painful family singing!  Kind of funny, actually.

He loves wearing his "hat" on his towel.

Daddy reading stories.

Family Game night at Matt & Val's.

Settlers of Catan - the game of the night

and I might add...I won!  

Margaret and Henry...she is 6 months older.

Kissing!

Henry loving the cement truck and the watching the workers.

Here he is putting his stick up in the air, trying to work like the 

cement finishers with their long handled tools.

Henry helping Dad glue the finishing blocks onto our wall.

Henry taking his library books back...in his "big boy" back pack.

Cousin Bentlee spent two days with us...so fun!

Matching little guys.

Went to the park with neighbor Cecilia and Lucy for back up.

Old steam engine, to which Henry said "wow!"

Tanya holding Ben.

Believe it or not, this is an old "sheep shearer" motorized piece.

Here is the type of combine that Ryan's grandpa used.  

Ryan's daily  job was to clean the large windows of the cab.

Then he would drive the large farm truck beside this machine to 

catch all the wheat to later be taken to town.

All these fun things, and the boys are more interested in rocks!

Our friend Ben's uncle in the plowing competition.

We found Maggie there!

Our neighbor, Lori and Devo stopped by when out on 

their walk.  Huck liked Leo, the puppy.
