Flying Rockets




We took the kids to the Science Center Saturday morning. They have something going on there until April 4th call CANstruction. They make statues of things out of canned, boxed, and bagged goods. It was pretty cool to see. There were a lot of WALL-E, there was a corn patch of corn stalks, and many other things. I think we'll go back so we can see the finished products, as we were there when they were building all of it.

The other thing we did was Jake and Jeremiah built a rocket together. They did such an awesome job that their rocket flew all the way across and landed into the net! A comment from a bystander was "nice". So they must have done a pretty good job! Jeremiah was thrilled that it flew all the way to the net! If you watch the video closely, you can see it. It's only about 3 seconds long, so it's fast.

Potty Like a Big Girl!!!

The other night, when I went to put Danica in her overnight diaper, I decided to take her to the potty chair to see what she would do. To my amazement, the minute we put her on she went!!! I was so happy for her, and she looked at me like what am I doing? :) Just had to share my news!

Fun at Erin's House



We went to Erin's house yesterday to let the kids play and they had lots of fun. Joel and Jeremiah did really good together. Plus, it was good for each of them to have someone to play with. Danica had more fun playing with the blocks, and putting them into her mouth than anything. Also, Jeremiah found a new toy that he REALLY likes. They are called KEVA planks, and you can do so many things with them. In the first picture on this post Jeremiah was trying to build a roller coaster out of the planks. He realized also, that you need to do this on a hard surface or it will fall easily. This definitely might be something to look into for his birthday or for Christmas.

Playing Outside



Friday was such a gorgeous day outside, I decided to take the kids outside to play. They had so much fun swinging. I can't wait to take them outside more this summer. Danica is now walking all by herself as well. She is growing up so fast. Jeremiah had so much fun swinging. I love this picture of him!

Bath Time Fun


I let the kids take a bath together the other day, and they had so much fun! Danica is our little water baby, and Jeremiah did a great job with her. I was there the whole time, but thought it would be fun to snap a few pictures of them enjoying their bath!

My, they're growing too fast!

We went in for Jeremiah's 6 year check up and Danica's 1 year check up. Jeremiah is 55 pounds and 51 inches. He is taller than most 7 year olds! :) Danica is 24 pounds 4 ounces and is 31 inches. She is no longer above the charts for her weight. But she still weighs more than 9 out of 10 babies her age. (She's just my good little eater) Both are doing very well, and are very healthy! Although Danica just got over her ear infections, I think she is doing much better now that they gave her the shots to make her feel better.

My Little Ham!


I took these a little while ago, but am just now getting to posting them. I love the second one, she looks so mischievous. Like she knew exactly what she was posing for when I took the picture. The first one I love because it shows all of her four teeth she has! I can't believe how much she has changed over the past year. Danica is becoming so independent now, and we are so close to walking!
