Mardi Gras!

Adam was the leader of the Mardi Gras parade at his school!  I don't think it was on purpose, but I like to call him The King of Mardi Gras!

Caleb Starts Little Gym

This kid loves Little Gym class.  He asks everyday, after we drop Adam, "Go to Little Gym?"  He bounces from one setup to the next.  His favorite activity is the bar, however he hates the beam.  He freezes and cries.  I'm so proud of him and how coordinated he already is.  It's wonderful to watch him volunteer with the teacher for the new tricks and see his self-esteem soar!  So glad we get to do this together. 

He gets in this position all on his own

*Update: Last week I taught him how to let his hands go from this position and swing down to touch the mat and then kick his feet over!*

He does not like to do beam alone

Valentine's Day 2012

A little late to post this, but we had a great Valentine's Day.  Adam came home from school with a box of Valentine's from his classmates.  So cute.  He also made some Valentine's for me and Chris that were covered with hearts.  I didn't know he could draw a heart!  Chris grilled some prime steak and made some delicious mashed potatoes with andouille sausage. Then, the boys and I made cupcakes!

Valentine's For Mommy and Daddy

Visiting Mimi

We had a wonderful weekend visiting the boys' great-grandmother in Shreveport.  She fed us well and the boys got some real quality time with Mimi. 

Mimi is going for the profile shot

Our cousin Evan, the fireman, invited us to the fire station for a tour. We got hooked up!  What kid gets access like this??!!  Thank you Evan!

We turned the lights and sirens on

Adam drove around the block....

Getting the hang of putting out fires.

We were really trying to knock down some trashcans next door. 

Chris had to give it a try of course.

Yes, we did let them play with axes. 

It's Springtime! Gotta ride the levee!

We took a Saturday to go have a picnic on the Mississippi Levee and ride our bikes together.  It was a great day.  The boys kicked every Dandelion in sight. 

Adam rode 4 miles on his own bike today!
