Eggstravaganza

Saturday night we colored some eggs with our friends, Sage and Ciara.

No need to explain this one.

On Sunday, only Grace and Andy went to church. I got an ear infection in the middle of the night. So Clark and I stayed home. Which was too bad, cause we had made some plans to have a fantastic Easter feast with some friends of ours (sorry Jaime!). As soon as I get her dress washed I'll post pictures of both kids in their easter outfits!

Sunday morning, before church I went to the doctor's to get some medication while Andy stayed home with the kids. While I was waiting for the doctor, Andy called to tell me that Clark rolled over (first time)! I can't believe I missed it! When I got home he did it again for me. What a great kid!

Oh, The Places We'll Go!

Last weekend my mom came to visit. So for fun we took Grace to the Children's Museum in Portland! That same evening, she (Grace) got sick with a bad cold, so we didn't do much else the rest of the weekend.

Here's a self portrait of Clark and I. I'm sure he enjoyed himself as well.

There is a life size photo frame. Hence the picture.

Then on Monday (Grace was feeling a lot better), after I dropped my mom off at the airport, a friend of mine invited us to go to another Children's Museum called the A.C. Gillbert Discovery House, in Salem. I didn't take any pictures but I wanted to show everyone just how cute this place looks. Something pretty cool here is that you can check out these 'cultural passes' to places like the Children's Museum from the library and just return them by the end of the day.

Then on Tuesday, it was $2 Tuesday at the Zoo. Again, I didn't take very many pictures, but this was probably the best one out of the bunch. And plus we didn't stay very long since it started to get cold and rainy.

Play, Play, Play

Yesterday was such a beautiful sunny day, we took advantage and played at the park!

Here Grace is riding a ladybug with her friend Sage.

This park is a bit different with no jungle gym, only rocks!

I couldn't believe how brave she was being, climbing her way to the top!

Clark had some fun of his own

Birthday Girl!

We celebrated Grace's 3rd Birthday this weekend. It all started with a pink cake (Grace's request). Don't look too close, it was pretty sad looking (fyi: let cake completely cool down before messing with it).

Ever since Grace was Jessie for Halloween, she has wanted a Jessie doll. Needless to say she was pretty excited to finally get one.

She also asked for some Lego's (after Andy gave her the idea!)

Her friend Blake gave her a play tent. I think it was the hit of the party!

This is one of Grace's good friends, Riley B. They always hug before parting.

It was a long day, but we really enjoyed ourselves!

This was Grace's idea. Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Our New Addition

Well, we did it! We finally bought the one thing Andy vowed he never would own. But after much persuasion and searching, we found our van. I love it! With just a push of a button, I can have two sliding doors open. And with all of the rain we get here, this will help me stay dryer! So now all we need to do is sell our Subaru. Anyone want to buy a car?

Superman

I just had to laugh when I saw Clark fall asleep like this

And then I laughed again when I saw him awake with the same finger in the mouth.

This past week Clark has been starting to pull this little pose. It's like he's about to take-off!

Baby Whisperer

Since moving here to Oregon I have met some wonderful friends. One of which is named Julie. She is also known as the 'baby whisperer.' I was skeptical at first, but she has far exceeded my expectations. When Grace was a baby, I could never get her to take a binky. I thought Clark was going to be just like his older sister. Every time I tried to give him one, he would kind of chew on it, then would start to gag. But just when I felt I no longer wanted to be a human pacifier, Julie asked if she could take Clark for an hour to see if she could get him to take it for her. I was overjoyed when I returned to see my son content, just sucking away! To me, this was and still is a complete miracle. I love you Julie!
