Rock Stars!

We have a few different instruments at our house and the kids LOVE them.  Isaac has a great drum (thanks Uncle Jon) from a couple of Christmas's ago that gets pulled out often and we have this great xylophone and of course our piano.  The kids seem to have more talent at 3 and 1 than Marc and I have combined. :) 
Isabella was napping but Ava was having fun on the piano.

Ava & iMan rocking it.  We are going to have a little band. :)

Isabella love...

Isabella is such a sweetie!  When she wants to show you some love she puts her head into you and it is so stinkin' sweet.  

Here is the full on view where she & Isaac bring it in for the real thing.

First Day of School 2011

Here is Isaac in the parking lot on his first day of preschool.  He had no interest in looking at the camera but found throwing leaves down this grate pretty fun.

Here are the girls on his big day.  They weren't sure what to think about it all.  It takes a while to get back into the routine of early morning wake-ups and I think they just wanted to be in bed. :)

Isaac was not a fan of the camera that morning.

He was a fan of the books that they had outside his classroom.  Ava is saying "pick me up Mommy!"
It was a great 1st day back and he enjoys preschool a lot!  He still goes 2 days a week from 8:30-noon and that seems to work for us.

Tea Party


The girls had a little "juice" tea party at our friends house. 
Ava was having fun.

She has so many cute faces.

Isabella too!

I predict a lot of tea parties in our future. :)

More car time & potty training update...

As I have posted before the kids love this little car that I found at a garage sale for $2.  Ava especially loves to ride it and although Isaac is getting a little big for it you can still find him on it too!  The other day Ava was riding around and Isaac decided to jump on the back.  Ava thought it was fun because it meant she could go faster. 
Ava was thrilled!  BTW Isaac does have a pull-up on (we aren't using diapers during the day) but in our potty training we have found it is easier not to worry about the pants sometimes. :)  The potty training is STILL about 65% there.  Isaac will go on the potty but you have to set him on it ALL THE TIME...he still won't tell you when he has to go....baby steps. :)

Car Time

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  I can't believe that it is already Sunday.  Marc and I had a little date night tonight and had a great time hanging out.  We went to a restaurant with a German name but had Italian food.  We didn't know what to expect but it was really yummy!  Anyway, it's catch up time on the blog!  Hopefully, I can post a lot over the next few days. :)  These pics are from a few weeks ago.  Ava loves this car and rides it every time we go visit our friends... Gwen, Kyle & Sophia.  Isabella was trying to push her. (although you can't tell in the picture Isabella is getting soooo close to walking)
Isabella decided to catch a ride. :) 
What Ava really loves is to go fast so she loves it when Isaac pushes her! :)

Look who got into the cake...

Isabella was quite happy with herself! Marc walked into the kitchen Sunday morning and found her just like this!

She had gotten into the cake that I had made to bring to Church.  We were surprised that she was able to reach it and I think she really liked it...

So cute!!  I love that you can see her bottom teeth. :)

p.s. the new computer came and it works!! :)  Now it's catch-up time!

It's never boring...

Although the blog has been a little quite this week (boy, am I ready for this new computer to come...with about 10 keys that don't work on my keyboard I can't do much) the kids have been up to a lot!  I have some pics to share of Isaac's 1st day back at pre-school and a lot of random things we have been up to.  Here are some pics to show that it is never boring around here! :)
I ran upstairs the other day to grab something and I came down the stairs to this...what in the world is in Isabella's hair?!

I came into the kitchen and found this!  Isaac is saying "Ava did it"!

The girl had pulled down a box of rice cereal from the pantry shelf and it was EVERYWHERE!  The kiddos were having a grand time throwing it at each other...check out another view of Isabella's hair! :) 
She looks very cute and innocent but we have to watch out for this one. :)

Another view of the "fun" mess!  It is never boring! :)

Piano Players

Maybe we will have a future piano player??

The girls love to play on the keys!

They even know where the controls are...Isabella is turning the volume up! :)

Isabella is getting her groove on!

p.s  We just ordered a new computer off of Ebay so we are keeping our fingers crossed that it is a good one.  We got my current one off of Ebay 5 years ago and it has done well.   Although, with all the computer memory issues I had been having and the "smoothie" situation it is time to upgrade.  Hopefully, I will be blogging more again soon! :)
