Easter!





















I really need a new camera. I did not get any really cute pictures of this easter- and, of course, none with the whole family :( The boys were cute, though! It was raining pretty bad all morning so we just hid eggs around the house- then we made some delicious blueberry pancakes and got ready for church. You will see here that before church we were happy and loving (usually the case) - and after...due to the fact that we don't get to have a nap on sunday- well- see for yourself. At least when the picture was taken Pierce was not sitting on Cash's head or anything.

Pierce is potty trained!!

I know this is probably not as exciting for most of you as it is for me- and yes, he is three years old- but I have been dreading the PT for months, putting it off in fear of failure:) I must say that it was not THAT bad! He really only took about three days and since that time he has not had one accident. and pipe down friends that were at the park with me the other day...he told me and I just couldn't get there fast enough! Oh and I guess one other time, too- but lets not split hairs.... He got lots and lots of toys- and his brother did not like to be cooped up with us all week in the house (i don't like not leaving the house either, though) but looking back on it I think it was a good time:) Other than that we have been back to our old routine. When its warm outside I open the back door and turn the hose on and easily buy myself an hour of silence. I am really looking forward to the summer when they can play all day in the pool and splash park...
Their new favorite game is "crawl up on the arm of the sofa and fall down and try and hit eachother". probably not the safest activity, but it sure does keep them occupied!Mauricio loves it when I put headbands on the boys. Do you think we should try for the girl?

Cash likes to watch his nightly movie snuggled up like this. its one of the only times of the day that he is cuddly


One of Pierce's first potty toys! I think this one might have done the trick- and now I want to break it:)



Do you think this water is clean? I checked for bugs and mold and found nothing- but Mauri said this is why Cash sometimes gets diarrhea....
