Easter Pictures

We went to the arboretum the other day to get the yearly bunny picture taken. We had so much fun! It is really cute this year, and the picture turned out great. I love going there and just letting the boys run free while I snap pictures like a crazy person. I think we'll be going a lot this spring!

Trip to Mammie & Opa's!

Last week we went to my parents for a few days. It was my dad's birthday, and they are also building a new house, so we wanted to see how it was going. Anyway, Whit and Henry love to go there, because the only thing to do is play outside, which they both LOVE!!! They seriously play outside the entire day and get sooooooo dirty. Whit had so much fun climbing up and down this pile of dirt at the new house. He did it for a good hour......I think I need to get one of those.

My parents live on a big ranch and it is lambing season. We love to go during this time because of all of the babies. They have a couple of orphans that had to be bottle fed, which the boys love to help with. Henry wanted a turn.....literally!!! Guess it was lunch time. He cried the whole way home for that bottle.

Whit got his turn too. It doesn't last long though, the lambs are a little rough and end up knocking the bottle out of their hands.

They have a big barn that they keep their cubes and hay in. The boys love shoveling the cubes, and of course, climbing all over the hay. This is Henry's first time on top! He was so proud of himself.

Tracing Letters

Whit was refusing to trace letters. I think it was because they are all so small. So, I was looking around and I found the perfect thing. I found these huge dry erase traceable letters. But, they were going to be around $70 for both sets....yikes. Instead of spending that I thought I would try to make some. So, I just printed out some letters, which I got from http://www.apples4theteacher.com, and cut them out. I attached a tag to each one of them so Whit had something to hold on to without getting in the way of his tracing. Then, I laminated them, and cut them out again. Whit now LOVES to trace letters. He does it multiple times daily. The marker comes right off with a wipe. Some people have asked me to share this with them, so I thought I would just put it on my blog. He is even writing some letters on his own now!!!

Star Wars

This is just your average Monday afternoon Star Wars fight. They will do this every once in a while. They each pick up a golf club and go at it. Funny thing is, Henry usually wins. He will just back poor Whit up into the corner, or knock the club right out of his hand. It usually ends in a real fight or crying, but it sure is fun to watch! Poor Whit better get ready, because Henry is an aggressive one.
