What a Pretty Smile !!!

Ryan is soooo happy today. Not only did his braces come off, but Dr. Sam gave him a giant goody bag filled with all the stuff he couldn't eat while he had his braces on.

Liam's school trip to a farm

Liam's school trip this year was to Learning Tree Farm. He got to play with all kinds of animal, and even saw a baby cow just an hour after it was born. (The director of the farm said if we got there any earlier she would have had some explaining to do regarding where baby cows come from.) His other excitement included being trampled by one of the sheep. He got to swing from ropes hanging from the barn ceiling, plant his own flower from the gardens, and climb on rocks. Finally, he got to run through a field.

After all that, a lot of the kids (not Liam, thank goodness) asked, "Where is the playground."

Ethan's Haircut.

Guess which haircut Ethan picked!

Easter 2009

We have here the classic "Bunny" cake decorated mostly by Ryan and Liam with Mom as creative director. All three boys got baskets as big as they were (courtesy of a great sale at Toys-R-Us.) And last but not least, Liam doing his "Evil Easter Bunny" impersonation.

Ryan finally ditched the training wheels.

When he finally got it...he really got it. We can't keep him home now. I am going to nickname him "Lance (Armstrong)"

Liam's 100s Day Project

Every year at the boys' school the kindergardners do a project to celebrate "only 100 days of school left." The real object of the project is to teach them to count to 100. They are supposed to put together a display using 100 of anything. They can put it together in any way, i.e. poster with 100 things, birdhouse made of 100 popsicle sticks, etc. Liam chose to do a poster with 100 fake bugs glued to it....figures.

Boys Love Dirt

Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer. That means more outside time and (/cringe) more dirt. This is Liam and Owen in the future garden. They found a slug and fell in love with it. /sigh
