Sprinkler! Sprinkler! SPRINKLER!

Yesterday was an especially balmy and slow day.

What else to do, but frolic in the sprinkler!?!

Bracken just couldn't wait and wiggled away

from me fully clothed... no swim trunks necessary.

He thought it was pretty hilarious.

Park! Park! PARK!

Last week we had a sunny, but still chilly Sunday...

perfect for a walk to the park at Washington School.

(the same school that Reagan yells at when

we drive by: "Mommy! That's where I am

going to school when I am a big guuuuuurl!!"

It's a super fast slide that we don't

recommend without a spotter...

 He digs slides.

 Kind of impressed she didn't fall through...

...this is her weekend hair...

She never lets me comb her hair unless

we are going to school, then it is

worthy of a proper ponytail and barrettes.

 ...not sure how Daddy got in there...

 She's in the doghouse (literally).

 Running with Daddy.

(check out all the gorgeous trees)

 Sitting for just a moment...

 We told Reagan to try to touch the net...

(gotta love her confidence)!

 Running with Mommy

(they are fast little buggers).

 ...not sure what's going on here...

 A bright and sunny photo!

A Series of Silly Shots

It's kind of a miracle that nobody

fell off the chair (this time).

Make a Left at the Milk.

Anything can become a parking garage

with a little imagination. Since Mr. B

can open the refrigerator by himself

I often find chilly little matchbox cars

camping out overnight on the top shelf.

 He is a goofball.

The Easter Bunny Strikes Again.

We finally dyed eggs the night before Easter.

"Reagan give mommy a pretty smile!"

...this is what I get now...

 Second try... not much better.

(yes, I realize her jammies are way too small

but she insists on wearing them... fortunately the

Easter Bunny bought her some new

ones shortly after this photo was taken)

 Bracken was such a help...

he kept trying to drink from the cups.

Not a good idea, son. Not a good idea.

 I wanted to get photos of the kids

actually finding their baskets this year...

but David suggested I "live in the moment"

(code for put your darn camera away!)

so all I have are these still shots

that I took shortly before.

Not quite what I was going for but I do

remember the moment and it was really fun.

 After church we ate donuts on the patio

while Daddy mowed the lawn. :)

 Want some?

 Bunny Love.

All kidding aside, we had a wonderful,

happy and sunny day at home...

Happy Easter to all of our friends and family!!

Daddy Gets Older...

I won't say how old Daddy is,

but he is really, really old. I don't even

think Reagan can count that high yet.

But it was a great party... we made

Chicago Bears cupcakes,

wore party hats and got some

super loud noisemakers

(that mysteriously disappeared

shortly after dinner).

 Crazy Face.

 There was just no time to unwrap it...

 The only way to muffle the sound...

Two is Better Than One.

 This could be a record for postings... I'm off to bed!
