Catching on

(Mom! Where's my helmet!?!)

Kingston is definitely a younger brother - tough as nails.

Won't be long before they're racing each other down the block

with us eating their dust trying to keep up!

Giving 'bubble bath' new meaning

Wait for it...

Or maybe it's a 'bubble shower!'

Yes, she dressed us alike from head to toe...

Mom, this is going to get old.

Snuggle moments

This will never get old.

Tune-up

"I gotta go to work." As Barker puts it.

"I'll be in the garage."

 Making sure his 4-wheeler is ready for some Spring riding.

Basically, it needed a charge. But boys will be boys!

Especially boys with big imaginations.

 Shoot, gonna need to replace a hard to find part...

Guess I'll send away for it.

Be back soon, don't wait up.

Happy Easter!

Adam & Emily sent the boys this big box stuffed with goodies!

Previous to them opening this package, both boys were being rotten

and were in no mood to do anything but holler. Boy how the tone 

changed for the rest of the evening after this little surprise!

Thanks A & E, we love you!

(Little life-savers)!

(I didn't catch it in the moment, but after watching the video

I heard it. Kingston does actually say thank you toward the end,

just after I ask. But then I ask like 3 more times and it's hard to hear. 

He's probably like, "Woman, I just said thank you, quit

your yappin' and listen up." Hah-kidding).

Channeling Sprinsteen

These two keep me guessing all day long.

Yes, Barker put this on himself (it had been

previously tied) and rocked it!

It totally gave him an alter-ego for part of the day.

And Kingston's face here just cracks me up!

Getting bigger

Kingston loves the playground now more than ever.

He is able to use most of the toys all by himself,

and he wears his pride on his sleeve!

The Waterfront park

has so much to offer!

Like culvert crawling.

And drift-wood surfing.

Check out the curl on those waves.

Aksel's 4th birthday

Yep, he got a razor.

These two make me SO nervous.

(Barker grabbing the 'oh sugar' handle).

Kingston loving something a little more his size.

 And then racing Aksel!

A little brotherly love.

Grassy hills & grassy fields-the possibilities are endless

Barker rolling.

Kingston daydreaming. 

I love imagination. 

Grandma's House!

We had SO much fun last weekend and loved every minute of it!

Even told Mom & Dad on the phone "We don't want to go home!"

(Cousin Stubby in the background -Uncle Matt's dog. Patiently waiting 

for anyone to so much as sneeze at the ball so he can catch it

and get it right back to it's place. Go ahead ball, move. I dare ya! 

The boys adore Stubb. He is gentle with endless energy, and very entertaining).

Kingston... read me a story

Oh who am I kidding. 

It was all just a ploy for a wrestling challenge.

Love Kingston's hair.

And eyes.

Rowan & Brody came over to play

Last weekend. I forgot to post these. They had a blast. 

Barker and Rowan are like two peas in a pod and 

just love hanging out together despite their slight age difference. (7 & 3).

Such hams. All of 'em!

Chica-Love

We got to have Uncle B's doggie Chica for the day.

The boys adore her, and she puts up with them

way better than Cheeto does. Barker loves to 

sneak in snuggles and kisses whenever he has the chance.

Kingston likes to sneak someone else's granola bar

and being nakie whenever he has the chance.

Happy Easter!

April fools.

But we are prepping for some serious egg hunting.

Kinda cute. Approaching creepy.

Later that day, Barker took his new magnifying glass out in the pouring rain

and wind to do some investigating. He'd been dying to all day.

He ran to the back of the yard spied around for about 16 seconds

then booked it back inside and said, "I found like a lot of worms

with my magnifying glass, but it's too cold so I'll have to catch them later."
