Kidsville

We were invited to a playgroup buddy's 2nd birthday yesterday. It was held at Kidsville, which we discovered is an awesome indoor playground! Braiden had a great time - he fell in love with a kid-sized shopping cart, the cars, and all the little stations you can play at.


Playing house in the 123 Imagination place.

On the porch of the beauty salon. :)

Oooops!

Making dinner.

Nora and Braiden are making pizza while mama and Noah look on.

Cruizin' in the Cozy Coupe car!

Making a craft at Beaux's party. Daddy is helping!

Yum! Digging into a cupcake!

Wheeee!


Tired Noah!

Monkeying Around

Monkey: (noun) small mammal, playfully mischievous, has an affinity for climbing


"Geez, what's the problem, mama? I just wanted to drink my milk sitting down."

Happy Easter!

... Yes, a couple days late!




The boys before church in the morning.


Ahhh! Easter baskets!

Grandma sent the boys Easter baskets as well! Double the fun!

Noah seemed to enjoy his baskets immensely as well.

Saturday

What a monkey!! Braiden has been climbing on anything and everything. Today he discovered he can get on the dining room chairs - and hence, the dining room table. He has already conquered the shelves in his room and our bed. To clarify, he isn't allowed to do this... that's why the bloggin' mama had to take a picture of his backside, before putting on a stern face and taking him down. :)



Playing outside! Hands down, Daddy is Braiden's best friend.


We weren't quite quick enough getting him breakfast... Braiden helped himself to some Cheerios.


Is it even possible Noah is old enough to be in the exersaucer already?

Matchy, Matchy, Matchy!

In the years to come, you will see lots of these pictures: Braiden and Noah in matching clothes. That is, as long as they'll let me dress them in matching clothes. All methods, including shameless bribery, will be utilized.



"You wanna try the lens cap, Noah?"
"No, ewwww!"

"But it's pretty tasty...!"
"Hey, if you're having some, I want some too!"

"Too late, bye bye lens cap!"

Just being cute.

Playgroup Easter Egg Hunt

Braiden had his first Easter egg hunt today! Our playgroup had a potluck and an egg hunt at a local park. Lots of eager toddlers showed up, and we had a great time! This group of women and toddlers is one of things we will miss so much.


All of us! (credits to Bess for the picture)


Braiden the master egg hunter.


Noah hung out close to mama - thanks Bess for the picture!


It's on now! Braiden knew exactly what to do... he went after the eggs like a man on a mission! He also learned to crack the eggs open with his teeth! (You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.)

More!; Nora found some too.

Egg mayhem!

Checking out the goods with Callie; "Does she want me or my eggs?"

Ellie Claire skipping by; more of my friends, Ava and Madeleine.

Scoping out the landscape with Emery; now it's time to play!

I love this playground!

Can you tell I'm a monkey?; Mateo and Braiden.
