Daniel

I have a hard time getting Daniel to eat vegetables of any kind. But the boy LOVES his juice! So everyday I try to make juice. Today I made spinach, carrot, apple juice. He would drink his cup full and then shout "MORE!" The boy would drink gallons of this stuff if I made that much.

He does get a bit messy while drinking it though! I figured he is two years old, he shouldn't need to drink out of a sippy cup any more. It's just more clean up for me till he gets it down without spilling it everywhere.

Yummy!

Daniel has also inherited his daddy's love of air planes. He discovered all Kendall's airplane books on the bottom shelf in the living room this week and he will spend hours at a time looking through them. It's really very cute. He gets a very intense look on his face while thumbing through each book. It's like he's trying to memorise each plane.

Tulips and Mud Puddles

Today was a beautiful warm day! We had my niece, Emily, up for the weekend and thought it would be a perfect day to go see the tulip fields. We have done this every year since moving up to Washington. The kids had so much fun running along the paths between the fields. But we weren't sure which they liked more...

the fields of beautiful flowers or....

The big puddles of MUD!

I think they spent more time playing with the mud then they did looking at flowers!

I did manage to get some pictures of them with the flowers. Daniel wasn't too cooperative today when it came to getting pictures.

Daniel's favorite flowers were the purple tulips.

Emma liked all the different colors of tulips, but pink is by far her favorite.

This is the closest thing I could get to a smile from Daniel. When ever I tell him to smile he scrunches up his nose and scowls (as you can clearly see in the next picture).

Daniel and Emma.

I really like this one of Emma and Emily. They are so funny together. Emily is once again in Emma's clothes so Kendall and I kept calling Emily Emma.

On the way out of the fields Noah spotted this tree and just had to climb it!

Easter 2010

The kids had a fun Easter this year. We went to my mom's house and had an Easter egg hunt, ate yummy food and just had a good time visiting. My sister Jessica and brother Joshua came too. The kids always have a fun time with Emily!

Daniel discovered there was candy in the eggs and decided that he had to open each egg as soon as he found it, then open the candy and eat it right on the spot!

Emma pauses her search for a moment so I could take a picture.

This was the best picture I could get of all four kids. Daniel is all boy and wouldn't put this toy down!

We decorated eggs on Saturday and Daniel must have eaten 2 or 3 of them before they were done!

I heard that if you put a little oil in the dye it would make a marbling effect on the eggs. They did turn out really cool, but man what a mess!!!
