Piano Lessons

Jay picked up a free piano just after christmas, and Ember loves it. She knows how to play three songs already. She will pretend that she is a music teacher and give lessons to Zander or her toys.

being helpful ???

I was busy with Zane, when I noticed Zander was up to something. The kids love to play on my bed all the time so when I couldn't see him I just assumed he was in my room. I started to think he had more than playing on his mind when he came out to the kitchen and got a meauring cup out of the drawer. I followed him to see what he was up to. He thought the fish needed their bowl cleaned. He was sure that he could catch them with the measuring cup.

Super Kids

The kids love to run around with a blanket tied on to act as a cape, but the cape always falls off before the are done playing. Grandma was really nice and made them capes, which the kids love.

Sharing

Making Pancakes

I had both Ember and Zander helping me make pancakes. They each took turns putting the stuff in the bowl, some of it made it in the bowl, a lot on the counter and a little on them. They had a lot of fun, Ember likes to crack the egg and Zander loved the mixer, he didn't want to stop mixing. I had to unplug it and even then he was trying to figure out how to get i working again.

Bubba Bubba

Zander calls Batty, Bubba bubba, I guess it is to hard for him to say batty yet. Zander is gettting to be good buddies with Bubba. If I put Batty away in his pen Zander will push a chair over to the pen and crawl in to keep him company.

I need to give the dogs a bath and Zander had to help out.

Look who's home

Dora is finally home. She got outside just after Christmas and has spent a lot of really cold days outside. We could see her every few days across the street, but she would never let anyone get close to her. The lady across the street was feeding her and she spent a lot of time under the lady's deck.

Ember is so happy to have her back, that was her favorite pet. Dora spends a lot of time looking outside but has not even gone close to the door to try and go back outside. If she is not at the window she is snuggled up on Ember's bed. Ember is going to have a big suripise one day, I think Dora is going to have kittens in the next couple of weeks.

Chubby Cheeks

Zane has changed a bit since the last pictures posted. He is starting to get chubby, mostly just his face.

Spending time with Grandpa and Grandma

I should have had these pictures posted a long time ago, but I just never had time then. Now I am trying to get caught up. These pictures were taken a few days after Zane was born, when Grandma and Grandpa came up to visit.

Skating lessons

Ember started taking skating lessons in Feb. She really enjoys skating but the teacher keeps making them do harder things every week, which she doesn't really like. These pictures were from one of her first lessons. She is getting better every week.

Proud Sister

Ember is an excellent big sister, she helps me out with both Zane and Zander. I am lucky that she is so helpful.

Me and the boys

Zander loves his little brother, and wants to hold him a lot. We sit together and find Zane's little nose and ears. Zander also feels left out sometimes so he has to sit beside me in the chair when I nurse Zane, it gets a little crowded at times but be all fit.

Kisses for Zane

Ember an Zander were fighting over who was going to kiss Zane first.
