Hide and Seek is becoming a really fun game at our house!  The boys are getting better at hiding . . . they will both be really quiet and usually sit real still too.  These are a couple shots from our basement.  Austin is pretty good about "helping" Colton find a place to hide so Colton is not always sure how he ends up where he is but he is always happy to be playing whatever Austin is playing!!

Oh I love this picture!!!  It can be tough to catch one of Colton's amazing smiles but I did it!!!!  Here he is rolling down the driveway in his car.  And if you have not seen him in this car yet, let me tell you, no one else gets to ride in this car but him.  If he even thinks Austin is looking at this car, Colton runs directly to the car as fast as his adorable little legs can carry him and he will just sit in it for however long it takes to stake his claim!!  Since our driveway is on an incline, it is perfect for Colton to scoot himself up the driveway backwards and then lift his legs to really roll all the way down to the end of it!!  Love him and absolutely love this grin!!

Sum Sum Summa Time!

 We invested in an adorable Elmo sprinkler that has already paid off!!  The boys love running through this crazy sprinkler and getting wet!  These pictures are from last Saturday morning.  We went on a walk, which ended with the boys running through the neighbors sprinkler so I figured we should go home and get our own sprinkler out.  This was the first sprinkler appearance of the summer and the boys had a great time.

 After running through the sprinkler the boys were tired and cold and thirsty so we wrapped them up in towels, got them water and a popsicle.  Colton is such a big boy, keeping up with his big brother.

Tonight while we were putting on jammies ~

Austin:  "Mommy?" 
Me:  "Yes sweetie?"
Austin:  "If you and Daddy could fly, you would be sooo cool!"

I  Love him.

Celebration weekend!

Last Friday was Uncle Nate's birthday so we had cake!  Austin put the candles on the cake and both boys helped blow out the candles!!  I think we lit the candles two or three times so that everyone got a chance to blow them out!

Love this picture of Colton!

Colton concentrating really hard on blowing out ALL those candles!

Colton enjoying his cake!  So cute!!

On Mother's Day we went on to George Wyth State Park and had a picnic and the boys played on the playground equipment.  Then we went and walked the trails for a little while.  Colton enjoyed the stroller ride and Austin was in search of sticks and rocks that he could throw in the water.  We found plenty of sticks along the way and had a lot of fun.  When we got home, Colton took a nap while Brian and Austin washed my car.  Austin managed to get sopping wet from head to toe, Brian stayed dry and the car looks great!!  We grilled with some friends and the kids ran through their sprinkler.  It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed it very much!  Austin told me Happy Mother's Day a few times and wanted to make sure I was having a good Mother's Day a few times too!  He is so precious. . . love those two little blessings!!

Happy Easter!

 Here is Colton getting ready to help dye Easter eggs!  He sure was interested in that water and I think Austin only broke two out of twelve eggs while placing them in the mason jars!!  Sure were good helpers though.

 Austin and Colton are grinding up the coffee beans and getting ready to help make the coffee in the morning.  Never a dull moment between the two of them.  As soon as Austin walked in the kitchen and stood on the stool, Colton was right behind him!  They are adorable together when they share the step stool!

 Enjoying the firetruck at the mall.  We had their pictures taken with some real live bunnies.  Unfortunately they didn't want to both smile at the same time so the pictures were kind of disappointing, but we did get to hold a real live bunny so that was a plus!

 The Easter bunny found all of us . . . above are daddy, mommy, Austin and Colton's shoes.  The Easter bunny put the eggs right in our shoes.  Austin thought it was great!

 My smiley Colton!  Happy Easter Colton!

 Wheelie suitcases from Annie and Papa.  Colton knew what to do right away.  He walked right over to the one that was his size and started parading all around the house.  As soon as Austin left his alone then Colton pulled both of them around!  They sure love their new suitcases and they are definitely the perfect size for them!!

 And finally the Easter Egg hunt in the front yard, then in the backyard, then in the house, then in the front yard, then in the backyard again .  . . .  I think we did about 10 Easter Egg hunts!!  So fun!  Great weekend with some family and friends!!

Friends over to play!

Zoey and Charlee came over to play with the boys over the weekend.  These pictures were taken of Charlee and Colton hanging out on the deck drinking milk together!  They are so cute together and spend a lot of time following eachother around to see what the other one is going to do next!  They were loving playing and laughing with eachother.  So cute!!

 This is a picture of Austin giving Zoey a ride on his horsey.  They took turns being in front and had to be wearing a cowboy hat at all times while they were on the horse.  They have brillant imaginations and spent the night playing as cowboys in the above picture and they played as "Kings & Queens" in the below picture.  They pretended all of the boxes in our basement were part of their castle.
