A beautiful day in the Gardens

Gabriel in the Japanese Gardens

Izzy loved the fountain

Izzy really loved the water!

So much, she had to taste it!

The  colorful water pump was a big hit

She even knew what to do!

Izzy likes to clean up and dance!

I just love it when Izzy wiggles and does her dance. 

Happy 1st Birthday Hayden!!!

"I fell down"

Gabriel was very nice to re-enact his terrible trip.  He even started from the very beginning and pretended to trip over the wheel of his new trike. In the original post accident, he was more stretched out. Still, you get the idea. 

Gabriel decided that was enough and crawled on to the carpet like a wounded animal to lick his wounds.

Happy Hoppy Easter!

Gabriel and Izzy had a wonderful Easter! Lots of candy, eggs and of course, "surprises"!!!

Making Easter Eggs!

Gabriel was all ready to throw the white eggs in the colored water! He had a hard time remembering to not to touch the wet eggs as they come out of the water. He did a very good job of decorating his Easter eggs with stickers. He was able to use that little wire egg getter with very little help and didn't damage a single egg during the making of them. The yellow egg with the flowers on it you see him holding...poor thing didn't make it. Gabriel was fond of that one and he eventually dropped it on the floor later in the night. Tomorrow, I call it breakfast.

GREAT Friday!!!

What a GREAT Good Friday! Gramma made it super special with a movie (Rio), lunch and playtime @ Gramma's house!

Spring party and Easter egg hunt for Gabriel @ school!
