climbing out of the ball pit can be hard work!

the ball pit is the best!

sliding fun!

We all, especially Colin, had a great time this weekend at the annual Spring Fest here in Upper Arlington. Every spring and fall they put on a special event for the kids, including many inflatables the kids can jump and slide on. They also had fire engines, ambulances, bomb squad trucks, street sweepers, diggers, mowers and tractors for the kids to climb on and "drive." The event is free and it's something we look forward to for months. Colin had a blast and here are several shots showing how much fun he had during the day.

A Few Fun Shots

The boys have been having some fun inside this week since the rain just hasn't stopped. We honestly have had one day without rain in the past 6 days... Owen is growing like a weed and is putting everything, I mean everything, into his mouth he can reach. As you can see, he even tried to eat Colin's hair/head! The sunglasses do nothing to hide your identity, Owen. We'll just call it a nice bear hug from the baby brother!

Old McDonald Had a Farm

We are members of a local CSA, Paige's Produce. http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M15746. Every spring and fall they have an open house at the farm where members of the co-op can come visit and see what's going on. Colin enjoyed the chickens last fall and couldn't wait to go back again this spring. The weather was cold and windy, so the festivities were hampered just a little. Fortunately, all the cookies didn't mind the cold weather and Colin got to see the chickens once again.

Some May Fun

Here are some new photos of the boys having fun around the house. Colin is a pro at riding his big wheel bike, but ever since he crashed on his other bike we can't get him to try it. We are both looking forward to him biking up and down the street! Owen continues to grow and prosper and lately has been working on his first tooth. We haven't seen it come through yet but it's causing him some discomfort. Lucky us...

A Visit With Grandma

Last week we had a very special visit from Grandma. The boys had a great time playing with her and we are all looking forward to a return trip sometime soon. Here are some photos of them taking time out from playing to pose for the camera.

"My diggers are not going to work on my birthday because I'm going to be at Chipotle"
