April 2013

In April we:

Checked out the DC temple

We love holding hands with our kids

Boys will be boys

Checked out an awesome park

He kept saying snap snap when he saw this dinosaur, thinking it was an alligator

Kb is getting so big!

Brotherly leave

First time they've seen a river together, and loved it

They could've spent a lot more time here, it reminded me of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin

We attempted to see the small chance of Northern Lights, didn't work out, but it was a beautiful night anyway

He continues to make my heart skip a beat

Another budding musician...really they both didn't stand a chance with us for parents

I love seeing them together

Worm pudding

PK loved it too

We got board games for Christmas as well, KB loves playing Candy Land

They've been playing together more and more lately

I finally made it to the temple to do some work, almost two years after moving here. Took me long enough...

Every kid has to have a sad picture somewhere...he was MAD that I wouldn't share my cereal....when he had the same one in front of him in his own bowl...the horror. 

First set of "stitches" in our household. They had to use dermabond. He fell and hit his head on the edge of our bed frame. Really...with KB and PK combined, we're lucky it's taken this long for something "big" to happen.

Had fun at a friend's birthday party

Hanging with Chuck E. Cheese

Had fun on the rides

Exhausted after a day at Chuck E. Cheese. Note to self...do not get an amazing massage two hours before going to Chuck E. Cheese, all benefits from it will be ruined.
