Spring is in the air...finally

It has been raining a lot here but when it is sunny, it is awesome being outside. So, when it is sunny, or just not raining, we go out.

The snow is starting to go away :)


There have been puddles everywhere and Peyton loves them.


We have a beach here...not very big and no sand but still a beach for the kids to play.


Mmmm....seaweed.


Swings at a park near our house. Seth has never been on one before and just loved it. He laughed the whole time.

Easter

For Easter we just got the kids a little bit of candy and little toys, nothing really special. We had heard about this big city Easter egg hunt that was on Easter and decided to go. We are glad we did. For Seths age, they had a bunch of grass on the floor with plastic eggs, boiled eggs, rubber duckies, little stuffed animals. There were about 50 other kids his age and when they said "go" everyone just grabbed as much as they could. Seth ended up with chocolates, m&ms, dog stuffed animal, rubber duckie, and 50 cents. After the hunt, they handed out a bigger stuffed animal and toy to each kid. He got a green bunny and an elmo camper toy with 5 play pieces. Something that I would assume was at least $15-$20. They handed things similar to these to all 50 or so kids.

Meanwhile, Peyton was doing an egg hunt outside. She ended up with $9 but was disappointed that she didnt get anymore candy. They also gave her age group (not sure how many kids there were but Im guessing a lot) some prizes. She got 3 ponies, and a big Easter basket with a stuffed animal, yo-yo, bubble machine, sidewalk chalk and some candy.


They love all the stuff they got and had a fun time doing the Easter egg hunt. I cant believe the stuff they ended up coming home with. I thought they would just get some eggs with candy...not huge prizes. Glad we went :) Oh, and did I mention that all of this was FREE?

Hoppin on Pop

One busy little boy

Seth has been a busy mischievous little boy lately. He gets phone calls all the time...
spills cups of red punch on the floor...
and gets into cocoa powder...

I think the boy in him is starting to come out from his babyness.

Happy Birthday Seth!

I cant believe Seth is a year old already. Our baby is growing up so fast. For his birthday we just celebrated it by ourselves, opened gifts and ate ice cream. Seth also got the best birthday present ever. He learned how to walk! He isnt great at it but he can take quite a few steps before losing his balance. We are so proud of him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETH!

Not walking yet...but close

Seth loves to walk around but only while holding onto something. Lately he has taken an interest in Peyton's stroller and has been doing a pretty good job at pushing it around.


Here is a video of him pushing it around with no weight in it.
