Catching Up

I haven't been super great about posting stuff lately.  So I wanted to catch up.

One day Jonathan took Islwyn and Amund to the zoo.  I guess they really liked the turtle.

 Here's Elijah showing off his cool new shirt some special friends made for him.

 All the boys in bed together one night.  Hmmmm.

 Amund really likes going to this grocery store with me because he gets to push the cart around himself.  He is such a good helper.

 We never thought this day would come!  That Islwyn would ride his bike.  He rides it all the time now.

 And the whole reason I had kids--so they could do the house work!! Just kidding.  But Amund likes to mop and Islwyn likes to vacuum.

 We got to go on a little retreat to Estes Park this week.  We stayed at the Y there and had so much fun.

 Jonathan was leading the service.  And Islwyn had to sit in the front row.

 Amund riding his bike around Estes Park.

 And the Y has a roller skating rink so we took the kids skating for the first time.

 Elk!

 And we spent one whole morning in the craft room making necklaces and painting.

Easter

We had a fun Easter Egg Hunt at church.  The boys were up at 5 am wondering if the Easter Bunny had come to our house.  Then we got ready for church at 7.  

I had to take some new pictures of the big boy Elijah who is 6 months old already.  I can't believe it.  He is over 16 pounds.  Not bad --gaining 10 pounds in his first 6 months.

 Working on rolling back and forth I guess.

Railroad Museum

We decided to do a little sightseeing on Jonathan's day off this week.  We went to Golden and visited the Railway Museum there.  They have a whole yard full of old train cars.  And also a really cool model train that the kids were able to watch run.  Here is Islwyn by the snow plow blade on a train car.

 Amund and the caboose.

I sewed Amund a new winter coat.  Islwyn had to pose with him for the picture though.  It is corduroy on the inside.  Totally reversible with pockets on both sides.

Pirate Amund!

Elijah

I had to post a new picture of Elijah. He is getting so big these days. He has started sleeping in his own room too! He took his first airplane ride a couple of weeks ago and did great. He also can prop himself up really well when he is on his tummy, and when he is laying down he scoots himself all over the place. He has started really enjoying playing with his toys and loves looking at his hands.

Christmas Stuff

The boys have hung their stockings by the chimney.

Islwyn during his Christmas program at school. They were singing The Little Drummer Boy.


Me and my sick little Amund. He has had a cold for about a week now.
