St. Patty's Day and such...

 This is what is seen... all happy smiling faces!

He's what reality is... 

My dapper little leprechaun on St. Patty's Day!!

Connor wanted to give Baby Emma a ride! :)

Vale was really mystified by this smaller creature in our house!

He kept trying to give her her paci and she's was like, 'what's this kid doing???'

Connor wanted to help feed Baby Emma so badly I finally let him help!  He did really well and was very excited!!!

Lil' Vale, representin' by poppin his collar and lettin his belly hang out... 

My cheesin' lil' munchkin.

Oh the days of summer... wait... it's only march...

Oh my goodness I can't stop laughing at his hair!!!

Connor was electrified too!

They had Connor's lion night light in their cushion fort. :)

oh and again Vale's battered and bruised face... sigh... same incident with the 4x4 on the playground.

My little wild man... 

Connor made a slide with a rolled up rug on the stairs... and the crazy days of inventions start!

We are gonna go to the pool a lot this summer cause the boys LOVE it!!!

Connor jumps right in, with his floaties on of course!

Vale, ever the cool kid, is a little more pensive and likes to use the stairs... 

Connor was enjoying thoroughly being passed back and forth from Uncle Trevor to Daddy... :)

Afternoon at the park!

It was obsenely hot for mid march so we decided to go to the park! We stayed hydrated, don't worry! :)

Connor's such a good big brother, Vale would get stuck in the middle of the 'big' slide that wrapped around a couple times and Connor would go down after him and push him out :) haha

peek-a-boo!

He's so cute! (ignore the bruise on is face... that's a battle wound from a fight with a 4x4 at another playset...)

Vale loves to play in tunnels!

Brothers!

Vale was LOVIN' the green grass!!! 

This child has such a sweet spirit and disposition!!  LOVE IT!

Saying goodbye to Toby! :(

Toby was becoming increasingly unhappy at our place so we had to re-home him.

He went to live with a couple in Santa Monica who had no kids so treated their dogs like their children, perfect for Toby!!!

They have another little doxie and they sent me a video of them playing together which was wonderful!

It was rough saying goodbye though, I cried the whole way home from dropping him off.

I really think he'll be happier though with a less chaotic environment.

Us... yeah, just us...

 So... somebody needs a haircut... and that same somebody is about to get pile drived with a stuffed football player... :)

So the haircut needed to take place!

As long as Connor was happy getting his hair cut, Vale was happy with his... it was cute.

I didn't realize how much of his face was hidden by the mop of hair!

We had a fun time with Link a couple of weeks ago, playing in Rich and Michelle's back yard.

I called them the dirt squad... 

Both Connor and Lincoln were throwing dirt up over their heads... sigh... boys... 

Vale preferred to play with the ball.

Hahaha Link's face is COVERED in dirt and his hair is normally much more blonde... 

We had a cold spell for a while... I acquired a little monkey during the weather change!

Oh Connor, my ever happy boy!

We went to Ditty Riese and got Vale a chocolate chip cookie... hahaha wow did he enjoy that!!! It's down his leg and all over his inner arms too!

Connor thought this was very funny...

My little climb king!  He wants to get up on EVERYTHING!
