Kids at play

We babysat Emily, Carsten, Caden, and Corbin one night. I tried to take a picture of everyone for Grammy. This is the best I could get. Cute kids!
Katelyn likes to help take the laundry out of the washer and put it in the dryer. She almost fell in here when I took this picture.
We have had many spring snow storms. I took Katelyn out to play in the snow. She made our family in snowmen. She did a great job. I only helped a little bit. We decided we liked to play in the snow in the spring because it isn't so bitterly cold.
Ryan loves to color now. He is always asking to color. He calls is "co,co" for color. This picture was taken the day after he got home from being in the hospital for RSV. He has lost weight. He is pretty skinny now. All his rolls are gone. Anyway, Ryan is doing much better now.
Katelyn and Ryan are playing with their new train set. They love it.
Ryan loves to watch Daddy play video games. Adam gives him an X Box controller and he thinks he is playing.
Katelyn is learning how to use the computer. She likes to play games on playhousedisney.com. She knows how to use the mouse and the arrows on the keyboard. She follows the directions on the games and does great.
Katelyn has started to draw people the last few months. This is suppose to be me. Notice the hair and eyelashes.
Here is a picture Katelyn drew of Adam. She even drew spiky hair.

Black and Whites

I took some black and white pictures of Katelyn and Ryan for my bedroom. These are my favorites.
It is rare to get such a cute smile on Katelyn for pictures. She usually cheeses it.
Check out those cute dimples!

Valentine's Day

Katelyn enjoyed making Valentine's for her grandparents. She is singing a song about Valentine's Day.
We made sugar cookies. Katelyn rolled out the dough and cut out heart shapes.
Ryan even helped roll out the dough. He did very well.

Katelyn decorated her cookie with lots of frosting and sprinkles.

Yum, yum. She loved her cookies.
Ryan loved the cookies, too. He even learned to say cookie.
I gave Katelyn a pen with a plume for Valentines Day like in the Fancy Nancy book. She uses it all the time now. She is wearing her hat she made with hearts.

I gave the kids balloons. They love playing with them.

Katelyn and Ryan at Play

Katelyn loves her dress up clothes she got for Christmas. Here she is dressed up as a fairy.
Katelyn dressed Ryan up with a cape. He went running around with the cape flying behind him.
I let Katelyn play with shaving cream in the bathtub. She smeared it every where and loved it.
More and more shaving cream.
She also decided to put the shaving cream on her face.
Ryan loves his blankets. These are his two favorite ones. He has to have his blanket to go to sleep. Ryan now goes to sleep on his own all the time and sleeps through the night. Hurray!
Katelyn and Ryan were playing in their room one afternoon. I checked on them and Katelyn was reading to Ryan. She knows Brown Bear Brown Bear by heart. They both love books.
Adam made boxes and mazes and they had fun playing with them.
Oops, out of order. Here is Ryan playing with the shaving cream, too. Katelyn helped Ryan put it on his body.
Katelyn is quite the little helper these days. She likes to help me with the laundry. She puts it in the washer for me. She will also help me transfer it to the dryer and then to the laundry basket when dry. She even folds all the towels for me. She does a great job.
Ryan loves spaghetti. What a mess! He loved every bite.
Ryan is such a climber. He climbs on everything! Here he is up on the coffee table turning the light on and off in the hall way.
He is pointing at me because I pointed at him and told him to get down. His favorite thing is to climb up on one couch, then get on the coffee table and then throw himself onto the other couch. He only does this when he thinks I'm not looking. He does get in trouble for it. I just hope he doesn't get hurt.
