It is so hard to believe that we are in April! It's been over a month since this blog has been updated. We both tend to post things on facebook faster, but still have a small group following the blog so we're trying to get to it too!
With spring officially here, we've been planting lots of things in our garden over the past few weeks. We grew many things from seeds this year, but the late frost made it difficult to put things into the ground. Over the weekend, we finally got around to getting the last of the peas and beans outside. Hopefully, we'll have a great garden for summer with zukes, tomatoes, beans, peas, sunflowers, and peppers!
Over the weekend, we celebrated Easter with the Jamison's on Saturday with their Annual Egg Hunt and BBQ. The kids had a wonderful time collecting eggs with their friends. Reece and another little buddy had smaller kid area to hunt that was seperate from the bigger kids. Alauna was thrilled with the egg that had a whole dollar in it (and not so excited about the bottle cap...those silly dads!).
This weekend, Alauna and mom are heading down to Sacramento, with Gram and Gramps, to meet up with Amber's aunt from Switzerland. Cody decided to stay back with Reece so they can have some bonding time as well. It should be fun for us all!
Alauna Update:
Alauna is finally getting into writing and loves to color. She enjoys going to school and has made a lot of really nice friends. She has been learning sign language and has been showing off some of the letters she knows. Alauna talks all the time and has lots to tell us. She is quite the storyteller and remembers everything! We have our ups and downs with her especially when it comes to her clothing- Alauna is already picky about what she wears, but we're compromising! She's been really into riding her bike and rode two miles on the Hammond Trail a few weekends ago.
Reece Update:
Our latest news with Reece is his boom in vocabulary. He definitely figured out the important and useful words first. He proudly told us over the weekend, "Movie...Baby". Which meant that he wanted to watch a Baby Einstein Movie. It was pretty funny and we are so thrilled that we produced yet another commericialized baby (One of Alauna's first words was "Melmo")....too funny! Reece is still a climber, a runner, and a jumper. He leaps down steps and loves to jump off of things. Scary!! There is a softer side to the little guy as he has taken to Alauna's dolls. He feeds them bottles, carries them around, and loves to push the babies around in the stroller too. Reece is also an excellent cook at his little kitchen.
Cody and Amber Update:
We are both running 3-4 days a week and excited about some upcoming races. We ran the Foggy Bottoms Milk Run at the beginning of March. Cody did excellent in the 4.1 mile race and Amber finished the 2 miler with her friend, Gretchen. The next run is the Avenue of the Giants which is a 10k. The weather has been cooperating and we have some great places to run close by the house. Cody is still playing basketball in the city league and the team was doing so well that they bumped them up a division. We are trying to get our daily fix of exercise and looking forward to more good weather!
