Happy Memorial Day!

Hello!  Happy holiday weekend!  We are starting off the weekend with a bang!  First, this morning, we changed our beds a bit.  Now that I am going to be 4 soon, Mom and Dad said I can sleep on the top bunk!  I am so excited about this (that I could hardly nap)!
And I, Kendall, also have a new bed.  That's right!  I was bound and determined to not go to bed last night, so I jumped out of my crib... twice.  All of a sudden... today Dad took my gate off the crib and added a little railing.  Now I have a big girl bed (and I think my Mom and Dad have a headache). :)
Here I am earlier in the week all smiles with my blankie.

We decided to hang out on the kitchen floor.

Miss Katie still has me doing art projects that I love.

It seems as though summer is here!  Pool is open!

Water guns are loaded!

Here is Miss Katie and Kendall at my school picnic!

Here I am with my class getting ready to sing.  Dad was able to be there with me!

We are looking forward to more pool time this weekend and a lot of Dad's grilling!  We'll try to take some pictures of our new beds soon!
Have a wonderful Memorial Day!
Love,

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  Dad had to work today, so we took Mom to the zoo!  We had so much fun.

We enjoyed a picnic lunch together.  We love watermelon!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  The weather was gorgeous - there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  We were very patient while we waited for the train ride.

It was nearing our nap time, so we were getting snoozy on the train.

A while back we were taking care of butterfly larvae.  Well, finally the exciting day came and they came out of their cocoons as butterflies!  We set them free one warm evening a week ago.

Looking at one of the butteflies in the grass.

I have been working on cutting with scissors and now that I've mastered it, I love cutting!  Sissy and I made a sun craft with Miss Katie.

Now that the weather has warmed up again, we are outside as much as possible... even when Dad is mowing!  We like to be his special helpers.

Miss Katie had my foot and hand covered in paint for a special Mother's Day gift for Mom!

We found Elmo one day and couldn't resist...

Ellie and Gavin continue to come play usually once a week.  Chris, their dad, suprised us with McDonald's last week.  Thank you, Chris!  Yummy!

We have more fun videos to share with you, and will post them soon.  A very Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms out there!  Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Kendall's Birthday and Spring Break

Hello!  We have some catching up to do!  First, we would like to share some pictures from Kendall's birthday party with our friends.

This was right before Sissy drooled on the cake.  Don't worry, we saved that piece for her.

Dig in!

I am such a proud brother!

Best of friends...

The last time we posted, the videos weren't working correctly.  Here are a couple videos from the hotel pool.  We went swimming when Nana and Papa were in town for Easter.  We are excited for our swim lessons this summer!

We love technology and all the fun it brings.

Over spring break, we explored Discovery World downtown.  What a cool place!

Looking out over Lake Michigan...

One day over break we were playing and ooops!  I fell into the toy box in Jackson's closet!  Do you think anyone helped me out?  Nope... they went to get the camera.

And since we're giving updates, Ace and Iso are doing well, too.

Miss Katie had me doing a nature art project recently.

We love play-doh!

We love being outside even more than playing play-doh.

Finished product!

A very Happy Birthday to those that celebrated in March: my cousins Mary Kate and Hannah; and in April: my best pal Elliott, cousin Connor, and Auntie Nicole.  My cousin Isabella celebrated her First Communion last weekend - congratulations!  Happy Birthday to my cousin Alex on May 1st!  Guess who's birthday is coming up next?  First my cousin Cohen's, and then mine!  I am so excited!

We are counting down the days until summer... it will be here before we know it!  Enjoy your weekend!
