St. Patrick's Day and sunny days

This is our St. Patrick's day breakfast. It might be hard to see in the picture but the Leprechauns visited in the night and changed our milk and yogurt green. The boys were so excited. To add I made green pancakes and for lunch we had green Macaroni and cheese.

You can't beat the fun of a box.
The weather was so warn this last week the boys wanted to eat dinner outside. They ate good and were so nice to each other I think they really needed the sunshine.

Happy birthday Alex

I can't believe my Alex is 4 years old. Even though I see him everyday but when I looked at his new photos I just couldn't believe how old he is looking. What a handsome little man. Alex has been in to superheros lately (what boy isn't), so we decided to have a superhero birthday party. This year we had a friend party and he had such a good time. Here are some pictures. Decorating cupcakes, and some of the costumes.

It is hard to see in the video but the kids have attacked the villain (Tony).They tackled him to the ground,and tied him up with here webbing (toilet paper).

Easter

We had a good Easter this year. We took the kids to UVU for an Easter egg hunt and to meet the Easter bunny. Well it is a good thing there are good people. It was so crowded and not enough Easter eggs that we didn't get anything, but there was a nice mother that noticed and she gave some of theirs to Alex. The boys were excited to see the Easter bunny. I forgot to take my camera but we also made it to a community egg hunt and there was plenty of candy there. Our neighbors did an egg hunt at the church and I think it was the most fun very low key and plenty of eggs.

 

This is what the Easter bunny brought to Alex. Coloring the eggs was cool but eating them was a different story. Both boys spit them back out. The next videos are of out jellybean and egg hunt on Easter morning. I was surprised that Zach caught on to the hunting idea so fast, and didn't even try to east all the jellybeans.

Dancing

So know I have already posted a video of Zach dancing to this song but he is a lot more animated with his face in this one I just wanted to share. There is also a video of Alex dancing. I think my grandpa Andersen would be proud of how well he can move his hips. >

Dirt all over.

It is a bit difficult to see but what you are seeing on the floor in this video is my potting soil from on of the flowers. This video doesn't do it justice there is a lot more dirt than it makes it seem.

Laughter

Just having a good old time with spaghetti and my brother.

Zachary

My little Zach is a wild one. Most of you already know Zach was a early walker but I haven't gotten to blog about it till now. This little man wasn't showing any signs of crawling until about nine months but all along he has wanted to be on his feet. About nine months he decided to work on crawling but by 9 1/2 months he was walking. He had left crawling and doing pretty well at walking.


Now that he walks he is into everything and I mean that. If he should come to your house you had better hide your remotes. Pushing buttons is one of his favorite things. We have to keep things out of reach and it is a good thing that cell phones have a lock function. I have to get ofter him all day long because learned how to turn the TV and XBOX on. He also like to climb into things.
Zach's birthday is on Christmas day. So for his fist birthday party all we did was take a few minuets of our Christmas get together with my family and let him enjoy his cake. Isn't that the best part of first birthdays anyway.




Zach is 14 months old now and what joy. If you know anything about our family you will know that we love music and dance. We found this song I think called popcorn done by the Swedish Chef. If yo haven't seen it here is a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7UmUX68KtE&feature=related Well we love to dance to this song. Here are Zach's moves.

This is Zach's tribute to St. Patrick's day. The green thing is not a hat but a toy. He thought it was pretty funny when I but it on his head then when I looked at his I have to take a picture because with the toy and his shirt he looks like a little Irish man.
