Cousins ages 4, 3, 2 and 1:

Duck Duck Goose

Ultimate Duck Duck Goose with 1 - 4 year olds (and an 8 year old).

Potpourri of Lauren

"Do I look comfortable?"

Just thrilled to be sitting at the big kid table.

"Wha chu talkin' about Willis?"

Together With Cousins

We had a fun visit from our Arizona cousins as well as Cameron & Carolyn last week. The kids had a great time playing and Lauren LOVED all the attention she got.

Kyle pushed Lauren around on this train many many many times.

Don't worry, according to Vincent he wasn't tired, he just died from the sword fighting.

Downtown Upland bakery stop.

Kyle was a great 'older cousin' who entertained the little ones with duck duck goose and a myriad of other win/lose games - it's never too early to learn how to be a good sport! (We heard things like: "Cameron step forward. You are not the winner . . .")

Brainteasers

this time, by Vincent (all of these took place within a 30 second period).

"How do you walk?"
"Why do people need legs?"
"Why do people need birthday hats?"
"Why do people need slides?"


Also, you know your son needs a brother when you ask him why he's doing 'knuckles' to the refrigerator door and he says, "Cause hims a friend." Ummmm . . . okay.

Boy or Girl

We just love to hear the way Vincent pronounces "girl".

P.S. I'm not sure why he thinks Lauren is a boy though. I guess I should start putting more bows in her hair.

Girl's Nite Out

Every once in a while the stars align and the two younger ones are in bed extra early and Chris comes home before Hadley's bedtime. Last weekend we got to go on a Girls Nite Out. First we went to the craft store where Hadley saw all the Easter things on display - she was in heaven (the girl loves little chickies and eggs) Then we went to Coldstone Ice Cream for some mint ice cream and an Oreo shake. It is so fun to spend one-on-one time w/Hadley. She just loves to sit and talk and we had some great conversations about starting school, dressing modestly, talking to strangers and why there are animals on the earth.
