Memorial of Jesus Death
My Daffodils
The weather is FINALLY nice (let's just hope it stays that way this time. Spring has some bi-polar issues this year) We have all been enjoying being outdoors a lot more on the warm days. It's nice to do satisfying yard work.

I have also been trying to spend more time in the ministry as the weather warms. I really miss going and talking to others about the Bible hope, and it helps me find my joy in worship again as things were getting really dark for me. It makes me happy to feel like I am finding my way again. Ethan's favorite Bible story right now is Noah's ark... of course! Who doesn't love animals and rainbows! He mentions the pretty rainbow in all his prayers now. We had the joy of seeing a beautiful double rainbow after a rain a couple weeks ago! It was magnificent!

Spring 2014 after a bike tide at the park
Today we went to the park and the boys rode their bikes. We also took a picnic lunch and let the boys play on the playground. I have never seen two kids so exhausted! Thank you Spring for bringing back naptime! We made great memories today!


Below is a video of them riding their bikes the other day. They LOVE to ride! Nic is singing his current theme song "Let's do, do it. Let's do it, do it, do it!" The other day Ethan rode his bike 3 miles while a friend and I walked. It's nice to be outdoors again!

April Update

-The boys got dressed in their best suits for the memorial of Jesus Christs death las night. As the bread was passed Ethan said "More!" -translated "I want to eat that!" He didn't take his eyes off the plate for as long as he could see it....lol

-Afterwards we went out for ice cream, something we have not done in a VERY long time. No surprise that they LOVE ice cream!!!! Nicolas was especially happy after eating ice cream and was very giggly when a friend (Dillon) made funny faces at him. :)
-Nick had his appointments in Kansas city last week. Nicolas performed very well!!! He did things we didn't even know he could do yet, he was holding out on us!! His hearing test and MRI came back with good results, so no worries there. And he is improving on so many levels right now so very fast!!! Walking, standing, manipulating his toys and sippy cup, trying new foods and just in general getting in Ethan business!!! I am so happy to see him making so much progress!!!!
-Ethan is finding items and putting them up to his ear like a phone... lol I have thought about getting him a toy phone but he is being inventive in what he finds to be pretend phones like a compact mirror or a small empty box. The funniest one is the shower head that is on a hose that is hanging in the tub!! Credit goes to our friend and baby sitter Solitaire for finding that toy "phone!" LOL  His comprehension of language is so amazing!!! If you say "bye" or "outside" he will go to the door, like right NOW!! That is what I get for saying it out loud. He is trying to reach the handle to open the door.... I am in SO much trouble with this little ball of fire!!! I am going have to go take him outside now.... When I get back I will tell you about his climbing escapades!!!!.......

-OK, so the other day they were playing in their room. Trevor opens the door to check on them and you won't believe where he was!!!!! He was on his dresser!! And I guess he thought he wans't high enough so he moved his container of wipes, was standing on that and reaching up and pulling things off the self on the wall!!! And ever since then he has been constantly climbing on everything he can!!! I have a Monkey!!!!!
-It is really getting difficult to keep up with the both of them and keep on top of the chores and other all the other stuff mommies need to do. I hate it when everything gets plied up then I get overwhelmed. I almost, no, let me rephrase that, I DO need some extra help around here every once in a while. I need to figure something out. I end up getting on here to blog when I feel overwhelmed so I can recall to memory all the happy stuff. It makes me feel better and re-energized to remember all the happy moments!! Oh and I am finally eating breakfast and drinking some caffeinated tea... that will help too! :)
-Well I am going to go now. Come back for more updates.
