little thoughts

I was yelling up to Eli, to come down stairs the other night.  I finally said, ‘Babe, just come down, please!’  When Eli got down to the kitchen, he said, “Don’t call me Babe, ‘cause I’m not that pig!”

 

The other night Eli said to Mike, “Daddy, when I get bigger, maybe I’ll have to borrow your underwear.”

It’s finally spring, and the boys have been loving being outside.  This was our first picnic lunch outside in mid-March.  The boys loved being out without their coats.  _DSC0008

Silas loves making Eli laugh….and vice versa.

‘How does that work?’

Silas is a daring boy…he headed down this hill, and I couldn’t help but grab on.  He has no fear.   I sure hope he gets a little some day.  I just hope he doesn’t have this look on his face the day he gets his license.

We had a great time at cousin Max’ one warm March Sunday.

Si loved his ride from ‘uncle.’

Eli takin’ a ride with baby Lilah.  Not sure that stroller was up for all those pounds.  Both of these babes are in the 95th+ percentiles.

The boys trying to get the snowmobile running.  They didn’t succeed….thankfully, but it kept them busy for almost an hour.  Who needs toys, when you have an old snowmobile to play with?

easter 2010

Our Easter weekend entailed putting our company to work helping us put up a fence.  I’ve been wanting to do this since we moved in.   Now I know why I was procrastinating.  It was a lot of work!  But we got it all done in 1.5 days, thanks to lots of good help.

Silas was enthralled with egg dying.

Eli loves projects….and the little wires used to pick up the eggs.

Easter bunny brought the Jungle Book, and a few other things.

Silas got some new cowboy boots.  They were his favorite.   I think the bunny was hoping we could pry the winter boots off his little feet and replace them with something a little cooler.

Some egg hunting thanks to anutie Esa.

The new boots got a work out.
