A Walk Through Jerusalem

We just got home from "A Walk Through Jerusalem" an event put on by our church. It was really neat to see what Jerusalem would have been like during Jesus' time. The best part were the live animals.





















A great way to end Palm Sunday!

2x2 Field Day and Egg Hunt

We just got home from an outing with our Sunday school class, 2x2. We had an indoor game of kickball and the kids enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt. Had to share some pictures.



Future b-ball player, maybe

Great day!

Bounce

Bryant and I go to the library for story time on Wednesdays. The librarian will typically read two stories. There are puppets (black birds, a turtle and a mouse) and we sing songs which the kids can move freely too. He really likes story time and pays attention, but he really doesn't get into the singing, dancing and motions.

Today, he was very observant!!! When we got home he started doing this....(watch video)....Which I later called bouncing...



He must have picked it up from one of the other kids. I need to work with him to refine his skills.

Lately

Bryant's new game is to thrown things over the gate, down the stairs. I don't know why he does it. It started with the laundry and now it's his toys.





He has found his reflection in the mirror. ...At first he thought it was another person, but then quickly figured out it was him.



I gave my boys haircuts on Saturday. I didn't get a picture of Nick, but I was able to get this picture of B playing with his train.



I thought it was funny that he was playing with Mr. Bear on the floor and then went and found this book.



Nick worked in the yard on Saturday. I did come out and help for a little while. We moved some stuff around, added some new pine bark and laid some new sod. We also put some flowers in our planters next to the door.









Sunday night story time with Dada is always fun. B loves for Nick to read this particular book to him.



Last night, Nick took B outside. He was so curious about the kids in the circle riding their bikes. I had to get this sweet picture of them.



Oh, yeah...and everything is still a hat in our house.

17 Months

I went to a four hour sewing class at my church today and left Bryant in the nursery during that time. He is going through a separation anxiety phase so leaving him is tough, but he did settle down and I think he had a good experience today. I sure did!!! I was able to finish some sewing projects and fellowship with other ladies from my Sunday school class and church. The best part was picking him up and the expression of pure elation to see me was so wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes. He was so happy to see his mama! I love my little man so much!!!

Bryant is 17 months old and has become a little comedian. I wanted to share some recent pictures of Bryant because some of the stuff he is doing lately is so darn cute.

Here he is carrying his toast around the kitchen...



Here he is exploring the cabinets...



He holds the different color lids up to his face and looks at the light and laughs...



Doin' some yoga - stack yoga



And of course, hat...everything is a hat. Cousin Scott came over tonight and got to play a game of hat with B...





B also likes wearing Scott's cool shades...



I've noticed that he does this thing with his fingers that I did as a child. Weird! He really enjoys playing with Dixie and I can just see in his face how he wishes she was more into playing with him. He loves when Nick comes home from work. He has started carrying a blanket around with him when he is tired like Linus from Charlie Brown. He likes for you to read to him. His favorite book right now is Green Eggs and Ham. He is still obsessed with watching VeggieTales - Heroes of the Bible. Although, he did act interested in Finding Nemo, once.
