New "Kids" On the Block

There are two new "kids" living at Auntie Megan's farm...at least that's how you refer to baby goats ; ) We made a trip to the farm, and Megs showed us the new arrivals. They are so tiny and adorable! Joshua and Makayla had fun petting the goats, and chasing after them. I'm sure it won't be long before these little goats aren't so little anymore.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year..."

MARCH MADNESS HAS ARRIVED!!!

A love for Lobo basketball runs deep in our family. Growing up in Albuquerque, you root hard for the cherry and silver...it's just what you do. It's a passion I have passed on to Andrew, and now it's a passion that has been passed on to the kids. Joshua loves to cheer for his "Bobos", and he is trying to figure out the hand signal for the Lobo. The madness starts tonight, and we're hoping this team can go deep in the tourney. 

Update after last night's loss...UGH!

Two-and-a-half...yikes!

Our boy is two-and-a-half...yikes! It seems like we were just cranking out a truck birthday cake, and celebrating his second birthday. I am so proud of Joshua, and the ways in which he is growing. He is smart, curious, funny, Type-A, (mostly) loving with his sister, social, and your typical two-year-old who is testing the waters of discipline. His hugs are contagious, his singing melts my heart, and his lively spirit makes every day a new adventure. Happy two-and-a-half birthday, Son!

We celebrated the day by going to Rebel Donut. I let him pick out any donut that he wanted, and he chose the "Birthday Cake" donut (how appropriate!) - a white cake donut covered in sprinkles. He eats his donuts in a very orderly fashion: first the goods (frosting and sprinkles), and then the cake. And, like a true gentleman, he shared his donut with Sissy. Joshua also picked out a donut for Daddy, and we drove it over to him at work, so that he could celebrate too!

After the sugar-high, we went to the park. It is SOOO nice outside right now. Dear Spring...can you stay awhile?! Joshua went on a scavenger hunt and collected various items, while Makayla ate grass and tried to indulge in Mama's coffee. All in all, just another perfect day at the office ; )

Random Pics

Here are some pictures we have taken recently...

I am so glad we are many years away from this!

Jam session

This is a common look lately: sweet and mischievous.

She's not quite sure about her Valentine's Day gift

Type A like Daddy

New Words

Makayla loves to mimic every word that we say. Her favorite two words right now are "ball" and "yummy." With words like that, she is a girl after my heart!

Here Comes the Sun...

I saw Joshua running forward and backward, all while laughing, and couldn't understand what he was doing. After observing him for awhile, I noticed that he had made the connection that there was a certain point in our backyard where he was in the shadows vs the light. He would tip-toe backwards until he hit that point where the light hit his eyes, and then he would burst out laughing. I know I'm not supposed to let him stare at the sun, but it was hilarious to watch. I like how at the end he says, "Bye-bye light." 

A Girl of Many Faces

Sports

Watch out...our little left-hander will be hitting the court and fairway before you know it! I will make sure he puts his pants on when he does ; )

And, just like Mommy and Daddy, we have noticed that he is a bit competitive. We are working on the fact that we don't have to be perfect all of the time...
