Thank goodness for warm weather!

Like everyone else we took advantage of the awesome weather as much as possible over the weekend, walks, jeep rides (pow, pow, power wheels!) and many trips to the park.

It's amazing what a few months will do for...

CHASE: His social skills...my little buddy was running right up to the other kids asking if they wanted to play tag (as he calls it...tag you're it), saying hi and bye to everyone. Before he used to just play and not talk, and kept more to himself...now he calls everyone his best friend if they play with him. He even had a hot-babe with apple-bottom jeans and boots with the fur (literally...she was seven and her name is Sophie...she was really cute) take a spin with him in his jeep. :o)


ADDY: My little ladybug has no fear...she has that whole "can-do" attitude that makes her stubbornly independent (gee, I wonder where that comes from??? haha) and she thinks she can do everything Chase can...and she was determined to prove it! She was scrambling up the steps and flinging herself down the slides as fast as possible, and running around playing tag, right in the middle of things with all of the bigger kids. There was no way I could be in 2 places at once with her...you know, helping her up the steps (she didn't NEED any help, thank you very much) and then running around to make sure she didn't come shooting off the end of the slide (I think the static cling was her saving grace...it slowed her down a little...) that I just kind of danced around in between the 2 like an idiot :o)
Late yesterday afternoon, we headed over to the big park at Ida Lee to change things up...Addy, my SUPER-NAPPER??? Didn't take a nap all day (I tried 2 different times...she was just up there hanging out, having a party, singing songs and talking) until we got back at like 5...not ready for that! Here are some pictures of the kids racing down the double-slide together...Addy wasn't going to let brother have all the fun without her!

So cute!!! I cannot believe how big they're getting! We almost went to Ida Lee yesterday, but decided on Briar Patch instead. :)

Chase is a stud, and Addy is such a little lady. haha Love the photos - especially the one with Chase and his older woman... We've been loving the weather too! :)
