Saving Annie

Ardan saw this cute girl lost and running down our street last week, wet and cold. We dried her, fed her and gave her lots of love. Luckily her owners called later that night! She was such a sweet girl and the boys loved how little she was. They just wanted to hold her and wrap her in blankets.

So glad we were in the right place at the right time to help her find her home.

Adventures with Oppie and DD

We have had a fun filled adventurous week with Oppie and DD visiting. We went to Chuck E Cheese to win some tickets! Both boys picked giant lollipops.

We also tried the new trampoline park in town - Book Shaka. It was so fun boucning around, shooting basketball, dodge ball, parkour, and jumping into foam block pits. We will definitely need to go back!

Ardan got an early birthday present from Oppie and DD...a new bicycle! He took to the bigger size quickly.

We also filled up on popcorn with a few movie dates!

Pie face! and more play...

Some January videos

Mommy was teaching Ardan the art of picking crabs last week. He wasn't grossed out by the hairy dungeness crabs at all!

January 2017

Daddy activated the fast speed on the Jeep! Hold on boys, or should I say "hold on, Nolan!".

Ardan teaching me some yoga stretches.

Love my story time with Nols. This is Nolan telling me the train engineer in the picture is daddy and he is the little boy next to him.

Table (I mean "floor") tennis

Just another rainy day, indoor sport.

Miss Ellie

Hanging out with little miss Ellie P for breakfast last weekend. <3

Peg board play

Excited for school next year

Nolan loves dropping Ardan off at preschool because he gets to play for a bit too. He will be so excited to start the 3 year old class next year!

Bubble bath

The boys have been loving getting bubble baths. It looks like Berk even wants to get in on the fun....but he actually just wants to eat the bubbles.

Dr. Ardanstein

Ardan got out some bowls and cups, filled them with water and said he was making "tickle monster" and "zombie potion".

New Skate Park Skills

Ardan had a blast trying some new wheels out at the skate park. He hadn't ridden his bicycle there before. He also tried out his Ninja Turtle skate board he got for Christmas. He needs more practice with that, but check out this video of him on his bicycle doing ramps!

Nolan the Warrior?

We knew it was too quiet for Nolan to be in the back of the house. Mommy found him in her bathroom putting mascara all over his face. He looks like a warrior but said he only wanted to look like "Nolan." Make up remover wipes to the rescue!

Just another ordinary shopping trip to Lowes.

From Daddy's phone

Couldn't leave out some of these gems found on Daddy's phone.

Not really sure why I chose to post this next video; must have been because I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it. Daddy must be talented to have captured this attack. Enjoy!
