Happy Easter 2011!

Blackmail Photo #865 and #866

Couldn't resist snapping a photo of Davis wearing my "sassy boots" as we call them...Can you say blackmail photo?In this one he was attempting a jump.

Blossoms 2011!

It's that time of the year again...

T-Ball

We did a month long T-Ball thing at the YMCA in March...the boys loved it, but did they love the sport or seeing their friends, Ally and Aiden, more...do I even need to ask?
(by the way, how's that for a goofy smile on Owen?)

April Fools

This year we didn't pull off any big April Fools jokes (unless you count the Oreos stuffed with toothpaste that Jed's assistant sent home with him from work), but the kids are really starting to get the hang of the holiday. Davis was trying to explain to Kate how to play a trick on someone. Afterward this was my conversation with Kate:

Kate: "Mom, I am going to play a joke on you."
Me: "Okay"
Kate: "Look! That yellow flag is RED!"
Me: "What? Really? Where?"
Kate: "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

I thought that was the funniest April Fools joke EVER! I love three year olds!

Look who's keeping the tooth fairy employed!

Truly, there is no child more patient than Owen when it comes to waiting for a tooth to fall out...the last tooth that he lost (his right front tooth) took FOREVER to come out. Thank you Benson for giving it the final boost that it needed (a happy accident if you ask me)!

Owen's Creativity

Owen's creativity never ceases to amaze me. After being assigned to fold the laundry, this is how I found the towels...The American Flag
A Rocket ship...I love it!He also made this Jango Fett (Star Wars) Costume on his own.

The last thing that I want to share is a letter that he wrote to a prominent member of our community, seeking money for a school fundraiser (we also sent the same letter to Oprah, it was worth a shot, right?):

Dear Mr Adams,

My name is Owen. I am 7 years old. I go to redwood elementary. We are having a read-a-thon. i need people to sponser me with money. D o you want to help my school earn money?
