Bird Watching

When we went to the birds of prey center in April they told us about a webcam here in Boise. There is a nesting box on 10th and Main. The last couple of weeks we have had a lot of fun watching the little baby birds grow. The web address is www.peregrinefund.org/falconcam. It so fun to watch and my favorite part is watching them eat, that is when they are most lively. So go check it out!

it happened...

It has to happen to every parent at least once in order to say that you have really had the parent experience. Well today, it happened to me.

Gabe



Cut



His



Own



Hair.



Thankfully we were planning on buzzing his head for the summer anyway. We weren't planning on cutting it quite as short as we did but thankfully he is a boy and there was no real damage done. Now let's cross our fingers and hope that Lydia never repeats this experience!

Long Time No Post

I know that it has been awhile since I posted anything. I just got all caught up. I have not been very good at taking pictures lately. Probably because I am so behind on scrapbooking.:) Anyway we are doing well and looking forward to the warmer weather that is suppose to be coming our way this next week. I have been working on quite a few projects lately. Some of them are top secret but I did post a before of my chairs that I am reupholstering. We will also be working on our backyard! I will post some pictures when that is finished too! I know you just can't wait!

Backyard Picnic

 

 

Every Wednesday we go to our local library for storytime. This last week they read a book about a picnic. At dinner Gabe decided that he wanted to have a picnic too so we set up the blanket in the backyard. The kids looked so cute together enjoying their dinner.

Dyeing Eggs

 

 

 

 

We dyed eggs on Saturday afternoon. The kids had so much fun that we ended up boiling more for them to dye.

Easter Egg Hunt 2011 Part 1

 

 

 

 

Every year we go downtown to the Elks for an Easter egg hunt. This year was so fun with both kids old enough the understand what to do. Lydia was a Champion Egg Grabber. This was no surprise to me because she is our little pack rat. She is always carrying around a backpack or bag filled with little toys and trinkets. She snatched up those eggs as fast as she could. It was very different from Gabe's first year where he picked up an egg and wanted the candy right away. Gabe knew what he was doing this year too and made out like a bandit. All of the parents like it because it is over in about 2 minutes or less. Thanks again for inviting us Chelsea!
