April came and went.....
Here are some of the things that happened in April and even the beginning of May
All Smiles!
Brayden began his smiling phase and Larkin continued hers!Easter Time!
Larkin had a blast hunting for Easter eggs this year and Daddy had a blast hiding them. The Easter Bunny also brought some playdough and a new pair of shoes for Larkin. Brayden slept right through the Easter egg hunt!
The Car Show
One Sunday morning we ventured to Tempe to see some of the cars that the owners of ccrd were showing off. It was quite the car show! Of course Larkin was more interested in the motorcycles and was worn out by the end of the show. Brayden again slept through everything.
A New Playmate
Beginning in April Larkin got a new playmate. I began watching Brody, who is almost the same age. Brody hungout with us until his mom was done teaching at the end of May. Next fall I will be watching both him and his baby brother. Wish me luck!
Making one of many forts!
Baking cookies. They are great helpers!
Chuck E. Cheese
Our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese for a school fundraiser made us adults realize that is was way cooler when we were kids. Pretty much just a bunch of crazy screaming kids running around and a bunch of parents pretending they don't know them! We will probably wait a few years to try that one again although Brayden did stay awake most of the time.
Our Backyard
Well no pool yet, but this year we (well Shaun) put rock down in the back and we decided to get a swingset for the kids. This was Larkin's birthday present and she is loving every minute on it. Kind of makes us wonder what we were thinking!
Who knew it would come in so many pieces with no labels! Here is just a little part of the setting up.
As you can see Shaun was definitely making progress. He had it all put together and pea gravel put down within a week. Just in time for Larkin's birthday party. Those pictures are coming shortly!
Brayden
Our baby is getting so big. He is actually awake much more these days and is working on that smile!
Larkin
This little one is into everything these days and is talking up a storm. We have begun potty training and Larkin finds it much more relaxing if she is reading a little something on the potty. I think we have Daddy to thank for that one. She also got rid of her beloved pacifier. She still misses it from time to time, but she is sure growing up.
