Memorial Day Parade

Essex celebrated Memorial Day on Saturday with their parade...lots of candy, cars and bands!

Here comes trouble...

New Sand Box

Scott decided to build the boys a sandbox this weekend because, with all the rain we get in Vermont, it's impossible to keep sand dry other ways...we're hoping this helps with drainage. The boys love it and will spend A LOT of time out here this summer!

Look Mommy...a worm!!

Touch a Truck Day

Went to Hinesburg this Saturday for their awesome Touch a Truck Day after Braden's swim class...had lunch, climbed on trucks, visited the bounce house several times, and got truck tatoos!
Scott might be a bit overwhelmed...

Kids Day

Kids Day was crazy this year...very busy, and difficult for me to chase two boys by myself (last year Carter was stroller-bound!). Had a nice lunch, played at the playground, and of course, noodles!

Burlington City Arts Program

BCA offers a tadpole program where kids can do whatever art projects they like...messy, but tons of fun!






Don't eat the paint Carter!!!!!

Regal Gymnastics Open Gym

Today I had both boys and no plans, so I decided to take them to the open gym...Carter's first time at this one!

Bubbles!

The bubble maker is an awesome hit with the boys!

Braden's Swim Class

We signed Braden up for a swim class on Saturday mornings to try to teach him the basics...he's really comfortable in the water with floaties, but still needs to work on swimming without them. He LOVED the class, so I'm really happy he'll be working on these safety skills to get ready for summer!

Mother's Day Surprises

Ummm...I know the middle finger is a different color...I'm sure it's completely unintentional!

Paint Party

This weekend it was all about being outside, thanks to the gorgeous weather (finally!). Went to parks, played in our backyard, and had a paint party with Braden's girlfriends!
Paint everywhere...hopefully it washes out like it's supposed to...
The girls taught Braden how to "paint" his nails...

Easter Egg dying

Easter Presents

Seriously, these boys are so very lucky to have six such wonderful Grandparents...seriously! Not including the fact that they all sent something for the boys for Easter, they are all such wonderful examples of strength and virtue, which of course is especially apparent during this Easter season!
