How'd that sidewalk taste?

Chelsea's first official pavement face-plant. There have been many skinned knees but somehow, this time, she managed to skip right over the knees and land directly on her face. The only thing that could save her was her cute little button nose and that took a beating. When I picked her up and saw the blood I started running because I thought it was a bloody nose. But after one wipe I realized it was just skin coming off! Awesome. But after only about 2 minutes of crying and a clean up she was ready to hit the road again. This video shows her poor little nose and her "reading" her favorite book...

Memorial Day Weekend

Hey. Better late than never!

We hit the Hanson parade and then Uncle Pete's for a party. The kids had a blast in the "jumpy" and the pool and they both took naps while we were there so we got to stay all day; melt-down free!!! Nick learned about the American Flag and now wherever we go he points them out. I never realized how many there are around! So nice to see.

Ready to go!

The future of America!

This girl has NO fear (kind of scary actually)

Crazy cousins trying to stay away from the Daddy monster

There she goes again

My Favorite Moments...

...when I am in the bathroom getting ready in the morning and I hear conversations like this:
N: "Chelsea, do you want to do the flashlights in my bed?"
C: "Yeah"
N: "OK. Come on!"
C: "K"
N: "Now come up on my bed with me"
C: "K"
N: "OK. Now lay down on my pillow and I will put the blanket on you"
C: "K"
N: "Hold on. I forgot to turn off the light"
C: "K"
N: "OK. All set. Now shine your heart on the ceiling"
C: "K!!!!"
Lots of laughing follows.

They're getting along and having fun and Nick is being so sweet to his little sister. Absolutely melts my heart!

Half the time it ends with whining and hitting but it's great while it lasts!
