Big Boy Bike

 I had a really exciting weekend - I got to ride my big boy bike for the first time!  Our neighbor, Noah, gave it to me because he outgrew it.  Daddy and I got new training wheels put on.  I love working on projects with Daddy!
 Taking a break from putting on training wheels for a sweet smile for Mommy
 And a funny face for Mommy :)
 We've got our tools!

 Daddy's finishing up, almost ready to go!
 Check it out!  I'm riding a big boy bike!  I love my new bike!  I wanted to wear my helmet for my nap so I'd be ready to ride again right after my nap!
 Love to wave :)

 Guess what that means?  Maxy inherits my cool tricycle.
 For now he really likes pushing it.  He rides sometimes too, though, even though his feet don't touch the pedals yet.
 Can you believe it was March 24 and I was riding in my swimsuit?!
 Maxy takes a break to sit
Sweet little brother
 Max is trying to keep up with me, he's getting pretty fast!

 Getting more confident and faster on the bike, watch out!


 And today we even got to run through the sprinklers!  I really wanted someone to run with me, Daddy was brave and did it a few times.  Mommy and Max went a couple times, but it was still pretty cold for them.
Here I come through the sprinklers!

St. Patrick's Day

We had such a fun St. Patrick's Day!  Our friends, Cooper and Noah, invited some families over.  They are such great friends!
 Maxy loved Cooper and Noah's dog, "Honey Bunny."

 Emma is a little fashionista - so cute!
 Max loved playing ball with his sweet girlfriend, Emma.  He has 3 favorite words right now, they are - Mommy, puppy and Emma.

 Max wanted to be really close to the mommies.  He always likes to be as close to Mommy as possible.

 Supper time!  We had lots of fun green things and rainbow things to eat!
 Movie time!  William, me and Cooper.  I wanted to bring over my jammies, pillow and tooth brush and toothpaste even though I knew I wasn't staying the night.

What a fun party!  Thank you so much, Erica, Jeff, Cooper and Noah!  You are all wonderful friends!

Camera Crazy

It has been the WARMEST spring ever!  And Mommy's been a little camera crazy
lately with all this nice weather, so watch out for a couple long posts!
 Last weekend I took my friend, Mit, for a jeep ride!  We've been getting to do lots of jeep rides lately since it's been so warm.
 Mommy just can't resist the sleeping pictures.
 I didn't even know she took this!
 Mommy had to go to Indinapolis for 1 night last week for work.  We missed her and she missed us even more!  The first thing she did when she got back was come cuddle us.  We were already asleep and luckily neither of us woke up.  She couldn't resist loving on her sweet boys the minute she got home.
 Mommy cuddling with me.
 On Friday, a bunch of my friends and I went to the puppet show, Peter & The Wolf.  I thought it was so funny and I loved the scary wolf.  On a side note, Max liked it too, but thought every puppet was a puppy.  He kept saying, "puppy, puppy" the whole show. 
 Mowing with my headphones just like Daddy!
 Max LOVES to ride the horsey - we sing "Giddy Up Horsie Go, Go, Go" a lot!
 Nothing is cuter than my baby brother in his little elephant hooded towel.
 Bath brothers in our hooded towels

 Max adores his new sound machine.  He loves playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on it and singing.  It is the first song he has ever sung and he knows the tune really well and even some of the words.  It's so sweet!  There is also a projection thing that projects cute little animals on the wall.  I like it too.
Silly bath brothers!
 More fun outside!
 Maxy the mower
 Peek a boo!
 Helping Daddy paint - I love doing outdoor chores with Daddy and he loves it too!
 Maxy is getting a little curl in the back just how my curls started out
 Green cookies for St. Patrick's Day
 Messy cookie brothers

 No words necessary, just love
 Mommy wanted to take a picture of our hands together. 
 The Bradford Pear trees behind me have been so pretty, but they aren't our favorite smell.  We call them "fish trees" because they kind of smell like fish.  I kept asking Mommy why they smelled like fish and she wasn't sure.  I told her I think they smell like fish because I said, God must really like the smell of fish. 
 Diaper baby outside in March - unbelieveable weather!
 Mommy can't resist these Maxy toes
And sweet little Maxy diaper baby!
