Twinkies

Thanks so a shopping error on my part, Gunnar and Piper actually own a pair of matching pjs. G has been dying for his sister to wear them with him and sh finally gave it.

It was adorable!

Lego Mania

One of the many awesome gifts G got for his birthday was a Lego set. Lego's are expensive and while I admit Gunnar is quite spoiled, I had yet to give in and spring for Leog's.

He LOVES them. He got a ninja set and immediately got to work putting it together.

To balance his new found passion and my pocket book we are now trying out the "NetFlix" of Lego's www.pley.com. His first set was a super cool Doc Oc (from Spiderman) that he and I both became obsessed with and finished in one sitting. We were a little worried G wouldn't be too keen oon sending it back to get another but it was quite the contrary. By the next afternoon he had it all packed up and his pleylist updated, dying to get the next one. I can't wait either!

F-I-V-E Five!

This year we decided to celebrate Gunnar's birthday with a pool party! It was Nick's idea and I have to give him credit, it went swimmingly. Get it?!

We made green aka Ninja Turtle cupcakes and dined on Gs favorite food, cheese pizza.

There were lot of swimmers and G really made great strides getting more comfortable with the water.

Uncle Josh and Aunt Shann a even made the trip down!

Happy Early Fathers Day

We actually celebrated Fathers Day waaaay early this year since Gunnar made a special spice rub for the big day at preschool.

Here is a shot of G preparing the chops to be rubbed:

They turned out very yummy and most definitely SPICY!

To all the fabulous fathers out there THANK YOU! It is an enormous responsibility to raise babies up right and I know I am super lucky to have such a wonderful daddy for my brood.

The princess' new clothes

We were recently blessed by an enormous box of hand-me-downs that included some awesome gems!

Piper loves her new psychedelic pull over:






And the OSU outfits have been a huge hit:



Gunnar is already talking about this being their Halloween costume this year!

Thanks Christy!

Doodlers

I recently found some dry erase boards at the dollar store and they were a big hit:

Piper completely freaks us out with her stellar pencil holding skills!

We shouldn't really be surprised though considering the way she reads the paper too:

Easter Fun!

Both kiddos did a great job of dying eggs this year:

Paint break!

Then we headed over to The Resort for their annual egg hunt. The sun was warm and Pippies was sleepy so needless to say she missed the initial egg excitement:

Gunnar however is semi-pro so he was ready for the action:

After the hunt there was plenty more fun, including Piper's first face smear painting:
