Easter Bunny visit...

we went to see the Easter Bunny today... I wasn't sure how Caleb would react, but he didn't seem to care at all!!! Ethan looked weirded out by him, but neither of them cried...

1st BBQ of the season...

just swingin'...
"whee!!!"

"whoa!!!"

watching remote controlled truck...

little artist...

hungry shark...

"ice anyone???"

cake time!!!

Uncle Luke and Auntie Karen had us over yesterday for a BBQ for Gpa Raap's birthday... The weather was beautiful!!! They live in Vernon (Waukesha) and live across the street from a really nice park... Needless to say we spent a lot of time at the park... Kait was with us too because we had someone coming over to look at the condo... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy it!!! Kait was good except she liked to chase the people riding by on their bikes - ugh...

super saturday

Saturday was a busy day for Scott and the boys... they went to the Weed's for a visit and then to Gpa and Gma Schutten's for Matt's birthday celebration...

friday fun

we were out in mukwonago at dave's land enjoying the nice weather on friday... liam enjoyed himself immensely-by sleeping the whole time... the other kids had fun running around with the dogs, getting branches and logs for the fire, catching and releasing grass snakes, and just playing... Kait, Gus and Duke had fun running and chasing tennis balls... Gus also had fun chewing up our "chuck-it" ball thrower... now it feels like winter again-ugh!!!

visit to the zoo - #1 of the year!!!

getting worn out...

the little while Liam was awake...

the kids...

cousins...

Today was our first visit to the zoo this year... it was a great day!!! a bit breezy, but i won't complain... Gma and Gpa Raap, Lauren, Niko, Auntie Stacy, and Liam came with us... thank goodness we have a van!!! Liam's 1st visit to the zoo was successful-he slept most of the time!!! Caleb LOVED the fish!!! He also loved running free - he always ran the opposite way we were going of course!!! i am really glad Lauren and Niko were there-they were always chasing after Ethan!!! we had a great time and are ready to go back soon!!!

another morning in the living room...

the 3 boys and stacy...

"hey you!!!"

"i love beans and noodles!!!"

so the day started out with ethan on the couch again... what is the deal?!? stacy and liam came over and stayed with ethan while caleb and i took kait to the groomer for a much needed day at the spa... we then went to the olive garden for lunch - YUM!!! the boys were very good at lunch except for the piggy noises that got louder and louder and did not stop!!! piggy noises=ethan being funny... the only one who thought it was funny was the lady at the table next to us... thanks for coming over stacy!!! see??? you can handle 2 like a pro!!!

unexpected visitor!!!

"do it again uncle sean!!!"

around...

and around...

and around!!!

last night as i was clipping ethan's nails there was a knock at the door!!! it scared the pants off of me because we weren't expecting anyone!!! scott was at school and no one else was coming over!!! so much to my surprise it was uncle sean!!! he came bearing gifts too!!! he brought me my birthday present - a petunia pickle bottom diaper bag!!! LOVE IT!!! thank you sean!!! He spent most of his time here giving ethan "chair rides" and caleb "airplane rides"... Ethan loves those rides from uncle sean!!! from what i hear, lauren b. also was a big fan of the "chair rides" too!!! What a great start to my birthday celebration!!!

oh... and caleb now has 10 teeth!!! i found 2 top molars!!!

like WHAT?!?

i don't really understand what is happening with ethan and his sleeping habits... it takes FOREVER to get him to go to bed - he comes out of his room repeatedly... and sometimes he comes out in the middle of the night and goes on the couch to sleep... what is that all about?!? this morning i got up and found him on the floor next to the couch!!! his head covered with "roary" too!!!

ethan LOVES liam!!!

"cheese!!!"

even watching tv while keeping liam company!!!

little liam spent a little time with us on monday and ethan did not leave his side!!! he was a good boy and we loved having him here!!!
