I Love Blogging: Things That Made Me Happy Today!

I think I love being outside just as much as Kael and Eden do. A little bit of sunshine does a lot of good in our family. I love seeing these two loving life outside. Eden rides bikes and plays in toy cars and tries so hard to be a big kid. Kael does the exact same thing. I don't know what I will do when they actually are big kids. The older kids in our courtyard love to climb this tree. Kael thinks it is the coolest! So, today I helped him into the tree. Not a smart idea. He didn't want to come down. I mean he really didn't want down. He started trying to climb higher once he was up there. There were branches really close together so he could have. I literally had to pull him kicking and screaming down. I felt bad. Real bad. Maybe in a year I'll be ready for this. I know Kael sure is. :) I LOVE OUTSIDE TIME!

Kael's awesome photo skills make me happy. After we came in from playing outside, I started some dishes. When I got my head out of the sink this is what I find Kael doing! However, this might have been from yesterday?... I wonder how many times he has grabbed my camera without my knowing. There were a lot of photos I had to delete. There were several in focus though which was really quite funny and made me laugh. He is too silly.

Spring is in the air. Oh this made my heart swell! Leaves budding and flowers blooming! Summer will soon be around the corner. I couldn't help but snap a few photos of spring.

I Love Blogging: Things That Made Me Happy Yesterday April 11th

This my friends is a Boglin. Derek grew up with one of these and lets face it people, it is creepy! Kael absolutely loves this thing though. Derek bought it when we were first married, and now it sits in Kael's room on top of his bookshelf. His bookshelf people! He loves his Boglin. So, I have to try to not be creeped out when I come to sit down at my computer and see it sitting on my desk. Kael loves to leave me random surprises, and this was a good one. Thanks Kael.

I totally wish that you could see his whole body up close. These pictures just didn't do the kid justice. The snow finally melted yesterday afternoon and we got to go outside for some sunshine. Kael had so much fun. So much in fact that this was the outcome. Covered head to toe in mud. Yup. That is my boy. He saw a bunch of the kids playing in a mud puddle and decided he needed to try it out while mom wasn't looking. All the other kids got wet up to their knees. Kael got wet up to his waist and the mud covered his face with dots. A couple of the kids kept asking me why Kael was so dirty?! I just told them he was having fun playing in the mud and puddles. He was not happy about coming inside. Who wants to leave mud puddles? They are the BEST!

Outside

We are so ready for spring. Being stuck inside is getting old. So, I bundled them up, and we got some fresh air for the first time in about 8 days. It was much needed. Kael woke Eden up early from her nap, so she needed a little snooze while Kael played out there. We are getting better at building snow men. Slowly but surely, one day, Kael and I will build the ultimate snow man. Kael was hilarious because he kept sticking his tongue out when he was really focusing on playing in the snow. Then, randomly he would throw snow balls at me. It caught me off guard about 4 times! He is too much like his dad. Sneeky little boy. ;)
