School, Kites, Playtime and Hand-Holding...

Terra is a big girl (almost 17 months old) going to school...just a few days a week while I work for a few hours. She headed right for the cars and started exploring the playground. Terra did great on her first day. We were so happy to see eachother when I picked her up. She saw me and ran right over to me, that melted my heart (she really does love me).
 And she is off.
 Art time. She wasn't too sure what was going on.
 Figuring out how to place her egg on the basket.
 Terra's first art project.
 Always a good time at Kidspace.
 Silly girl.
 Taking a walk holding hands...love this.
 Somehow Trent managed to fall between the back seat and front seat.  Nutball!
 And then you have this silly face.
We are ready for spring and flip flops. I can't wait until Terra is old enough to take to get pedicures.
One windy Sunday afternoon Tim and Trent went down to the elementary school by us and flew a kite.
It had been a busy weekend and we were all tired. I opted to nap while Terra was napping and Tim could have done the same thing, but he didn't...he took Trent to fly a kite.  He is such a good Dad.

Trent's Debut Song

Trent and his friend Jonah wrote and sang this song Sweet Home California. The youth minister at their school played the guitar and sang backup. They got extra credit for their song, but the extra credit didn't really matter to them. They loved writing and singing the song.

Zinnia Turns 1!

Our niece Zinnia turned 1 on March 26th.  Her party was so much fun and the theme was cardboard...they had a castle made out of boxes, a cardboard maze that Trent loved playing in and just the cutest details all over. Zinnia was in a great mood and you could tell she knew it was her day.
 The Princess opening her presents.
 Happy Birthday Zinnia!
 And then there is this cutie pie!
 And this nutball!
He barely fits in there, but that doesn't stop him.
 Playing and exploring.
Terra's first time having apple juice, of course she loved it and could not get enough.

School Carnival

Trent's school carnival could not come soon enough for him. It was on a Friday afternoon and I am not sure how he did in class all day because I know all he was thinking about was the carnival.
A snow cone and getting your face painted...not a bad way to start the afternoon.
 Cool dragon!
 Games!
Not the greatest picture of Trent, but check out the cool thing he has on his head.  
He is one unique boy!
 Good friends having fun.
 And then there was this...
Even Terra got in on the action. A cute purple flower for her hand.
The carnival was great and most importantly Trent had a great time. He just loves his school, teachers and friends.

Our Precious Girl

Just a few fun pictures of Terra. She is almost 17 months and becoming quite the toddler. She is still loving play time at Kidspace and walks around the neighborhood.
My loves
 Picking dandelions
 I see you and your cute smile.
 She loves to cross her legs while I push her along in the car.
 And then she discovered that she could climb up on the table...
 Sit on the table...
And why not stand on the table.  Never a dull moment with this girl.
