Spring Time

Spring has finally arrived in the PNW and we've been getting outside more and working on some projects.  I finally got a moment this weekend to go through the pictures though, so here's a little spring time update.

We finally got back to our beach property to do some more clearing of blackberries, and get a shed built so that we can keep a few things there.  Matt and Lily both had a good time down there over the two weekends it took to get the shed built.

Weekend 1 - framing.
Working boots

End of day 2.  We actually got all the siding up before we left.

I'm being threatened with crab crackers.

Looking for clams.

Hanging with Gramma watching the work get done.

A little too much working this weekend makes for a tired boy.

Weekend 2 - Roofing
We finished the roof.
 
Lily getting ready to help.

Throwing rocks.

Feeding gulls with the neighbor girl.

Matt found a good spot with loose dirt to work with his diggers.

Happy boy with a full belly.

and....food coma.

Lily and Matt are both getting so big.  A quick photo recap since the last post.
The Lily Carwash.

Serious working

As promised, first food.

Matt even helped her eat.

Buddy, those aren't your boots!

Helping Mommy cook dinner

Mmmm countertop.....

Lily standing.  Yeah I propped her up, but she was there for a good minute,

Wrestling

Baby Burrito!

More working at the light table.

After nap.

Both kids had a good Easter, and Matt made it 95% of the way through church before having to be taken outside to run.  Pretty good considering he new he had treats at home waiting for him.
Peeps!

Lily and her light up egg.

Baby bunny.

Hmmm... What's this egg doing here?

On the hunt.

Quite the pile!

Playing with little sister.

This is what happens when you get left alone with dad to feed the baby. She's not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Carrots!

Jamie got a popcicle maker.  Rootbeer is popular.

Looks like Lily might have outgrown the bouncer.

Yep, definitely outgrew the bouncer.

Floor time for you from now on.

Trying to tear out what little hair I have left.

I think Matt has more fun with this than Lily.

Playing with baby sister.

Getting so big!

She'll be crawling soon.....
