I hooked up the. Ike trailer to my bike and drive the kids, helmets on, around the back yard for awhile. It makes me nervous but it seemed to do fine. Grace didn't like her helmet and was upset. I took it off after a little while and she settled down. She's going to have to get used to it though. Afterwards. Other the kids were happy to sit and ride. It's a little close quarters though. If ev stretches his arms he elbows grace in the face. We'll have to see how they do on a real bike ride.

Camping with grandma.

Grace said" fishey" repeatedly at the cabella aquarium and she yelled "stop" at Evan after gram did it. She also says sock, shirt, and shoes.

Hitching a ride.

Just ordered Ev a new iPod touch case.

Yay! New bike trailer.

Helmets!

We bought ev a new helmet and tried to teach him how to ride his bike so we could all ride together. I think it's a good thing we got Grace a helmet and a double bike trailer also. Evan wasn't so interested in peddling his bike.

T-shirts I made for the kids using sharpies.

Ev and Gracie playing at the park the other day.

Hopefully no more falling out of bed for ev.

Starting on an afghan. I bought 10 skeins of this purple and two more of the teal I used to make my scarf a few months ago. I also bought a nice row counter and new hooks with the rest of my birthday money. This has been a great birthday!

Playing at the party store.

Birthday celebration at the melting pot!

My first project using alpaca yarn. Even though my model doesn't make it look too comfy, he does make it look tough. Will has already claimed it.

Ev and grace playing at the mall yesterday.

A new jewelry box for my bling. Thanks, Annabelle, Ted, and Donna. I'm probably going to buy some pretty yarn to crochet a fancy blanket for our bed with the rest of your gifts. Thank you!

Snack time.

Valentine for Ev from Grandma and Grandpa Spencer.

Thank god! Evan is in bed. We seemed to have found a pretty effortless way to get him to go to bed. We tried shutting the bedroom door for two minutes last night every time he got out of bed. But he ended up crying for two and a half hours. He didn't go to bed till 10 or so. Tonight we just picked him up, didn't interact and put him in bed and left. I think we put him in bed a couple times a piece and he wasn't upset just stayed in bed and went to sleep.

Evan and grace's first valentine. It came from Evan's friend Matthew across the street.

Grace has decided on a cuddly cow for her bedtime friend.

Playing with cars and trucks.

P.s. don't feel like you have to fill the buckets up. 😊 Evan still has more toys in his room and grace has a bunch of stuffed animals. They're just asleep so I had to stop organizing.

I bought the kids their own toy buckets tonight. So now their toys will be in their rooms and hopefully not in the living room floor full time. Evan also has a Lego bucket in his room.

Evan's first race car track.

I'm sorry if anybody has to pay for their invitation. I didn't think about it not being enough postage.

My valentine's day bling with my original wedding diamond.

Updated birthstone necklace.

Grace just demanded her first bedtime story. She was in our room and grabbed my iPad and wouldn't let go. So I figured we'd try a story before bed. She did really good. She drank her milk and touched the moveable stuff on the screen. Usually she will push the home button after like 30 sec but she sat through the whole story. And she down almost all her milk without putting up fight. (She's not a big milk drinker.)

I ordered my bridesmaid dress today for my cousins wedding in may. She lives near Cincinnati so the kids will get to visit Ohio. I remember going to a cool aquarium when I was there as a kid. Hopefully we'll have time to take the kids.
