When the Sun Finally Comes Out

I pretty much want to jump up and down with joy because we don't have to stay inside!
We've had fun bike/scooter rides around the neighborhood that were exhausting.
Popsicles were definitely needed after all that playing.
Five years old going on teenage!
I'm not a believer in kids having cell phones, but I'm all for a good imagination.
A Zune makes a pretty good substitute. 
Mr. Blakey and bonks on the head.
This big goose egg was partially my fault...
Blake was on my back and I was trying to get him in the van and he obviously wasn't all the way in and KA-BOOM.  Right on the concrete.
It was sad.
He took it like a big-boy and the bonk is almost gone now.
 
Ryan would be one happy camper if he could be outside always.
He loves, loves his little car.
Getting to honk the horn and steer--almost like the real thing. 
I don't know where he gets this, but it is headfirst down the slide.
Every time.
No fear this one has. 
Blake's outfit was cracking me up.
The boots really complete the look. 
Tate was pretty excited when he found some music on the Zune and thought it would be fun to bring it to the park and chill like the big kids do.
Not sure why he needs to have that very top bottom done up, but he was
adamant about it being done up. 
Mr. Independent.
A favorite outside activity--painting rocks.
Tate and his friend Gage love hunting for rocks and then painting them.
While Tate was at Preschool Blake and Ryan found the paints and had a great time playing like the big-boys. 
Soccer has been going great!
Not anymore tears since the first game.
Lots of running and kicking.
Love it. 
Bring on the summer!
