To The River

Oxbow Park (very picture heavy!)

See some little toes in the sand?

Proof!

This river was so perfect.

Imagination Opportunities.

Rock Throwing

Serious muscle building

Fun.

Fun.

And More Fun!

Clever fisherman.

Snacks. Of course.

So many berries

Cool rafters

And other nature; deer!

And a bonus couple of Lan apple pictures.

Moon and Lan go to Starbucks in style.
Aren't they just having a good time? I had to help Mooner pull Lan up the hill, otherwise they were both very proud of themselves riding on their own.
Next time I will just rig up a cup holder to the wagon and pin some money to Moon's shirt for my coffee while I sit at home watching TV ;)

Lanny + Pear = Sweet Love

These pictures are pretty sweet. Unlike when Lan eats a banana.
I won't subject y'all to a play by play of that one unless there is a demand ;)

Easter, Part 3

A visit to sweet Echo's house for some egg dying, egg hunting, and a wee bit of show watching.
Of course, I barely remembered to photograph the egg hunt, but better than nothing!

Silly girls and their silly faces

On the hunt. The bunny was very clever.

Isn't she sweetness?!?

Isn't she... something?!?

Easter Party, Parts One and Two

New bike trailer for Lan and Moon from Papa Mike. Over and Over, around and around!

The Easter Bunny worked very hard to make a dairy free/soy free Chocolate Bunny

Morning Snuggles with Papa Mike

Spoiled Cute Little Girl at Aunt Nancy's Easter Celebration.

Lanny Boy with his basket of spoiling and shirt of drool.
(lots of overalls in there. Nothing cuter than a baby boy in his overalls)

Out of order, but pre-refashioning with the Easter gifts

Papa Mike with his favorite little people

The Guys

Moon and Cousin Bridgey
(who Moon thinks looks like Hannah Montana. Sigh deeply with me please)
decorating egg decorations.

Stunt Kids!

Self Explanatory Spring Happies.

April Begins ...

With Papa's Birthday. And birthdays mean CAKE!
OK, actually brownies for Moon and Papa. With wheat flour! Lucky them.
Cute little bundle of family here.

Lan has a new favorite pasttime; hassling Moon while she's in the tub. Things to do include: throw animals in the bath/at Moon, crawl over to the toilet to make Moon scream and yell that "Lan is going to touch the potty"!!!, splash and fight with Moon so that clothes are soaked, just after getting dressed for the day.

But, Dang, he's so cute.

Then this Saturday we had our first day of real Spring Weather! I have never seen the children happier as they were on Saturday and Sunday. The outside playing never stopped. The imagination was in full kick with a minimal side of whining. PERFECT.
So we had our favorite long time hippie pals over. EVEN MORE PERFECT.
I am so glad we made the most of our time. One day I will post pics of the garden, etc over on the Progress Garden blog that I never update ;)

A little bit of March
Maybe a bit of April...

We have been Out of Commission for a month or so around here, as we have been hit with a variety of plagues. Cross our fingers, we have all been relatively well for a week now.

Lots and lots of walking going on lately, because even sick Lan's and tired Mama's can manage those.
Now if only we could all be as fashionable as Moon.

We got this play kitchen at a consignment store awhile ago. It has been the best toy ever. For Lan! It's so funny how my idea of Moon playing happily there has been replaced with the 20-30 minutes straight Landon will play there.

Lan's been doing some art with big sissy a bit as well.

Just a couple of cute Moon and O shots on a particularly bored/cute afternoon.
They are so CUTE. Even watching Corduroy the Bear.
