Emerson Dancing

A few weeks ago Emerson had her Parent Watch Night at dance class where she got her recital costume. As I was opening it Ryan said, do I need to be taking pictures of her or you? I was only a little excited :)
She did really well in class and it's fun seeing her doing something she likes- I think we'll stick with it. But no pressure from me.

Much.

Easton's 1 Year Pictures

Easter on the Farm

We went up to Red Oak last weekend for Easter- we hadn't been up for Easter since we've had the girls so it was fun to celebrate with Ryan's family. We had a great time and Emerson has enough candy to last her until Halloween.

Our first egg hunt (yes, there were two) was after church in town. My mom saves EVERYTHING so she used my old Easter basket.


Our first Wood family picture with our two new additions (Easton and Courtney :)

With Uncle Cole and Aunt Sarah.

And Grandpa.

Then there was the egg hunt on the farm. The Easter bunny sure was busy.

It was too quiet in the house so I went to see what Emerson had gotten into. Just a good book...

Under the Sea

My girlfriend Jayme and I have reconnected and have been getting together a ton with our kids for playdates and birthday parties- it's been so fun. I had to include this first picture- I love it that kids don't get caught up in gender roles like adults do. And it always makes for some great pictures!

We took the kids to Crown Center for the Under the Sea exhibit. We had to stop off at the Crayola store first and check it out.

This is Emerson in the whale's mouth.... and in the seaweed...

Sweet Baby Kate.





Easton Claire- still not walking, just ruining all the knees of all of her cute clothes and not able to wear any of the adorable dresses in her closet. (Ever tried crawling in a dress??) I swore when Emerson didn't walk until 16 months that with Easton I wouldn't worry but here we are.

I'm only a tad concerned. :)

We had to eat at Fritz's- it is pretty cool that a train brings your lunch to your table. It even keeps Easton entertained which is a feat these days!

Girl Stuff

I had been meaning to paint Emerson's toenails FOREVER. It's amazing how time gets away and we just never sat down to do it (without a 1 year old crawling all over us :) So I made the time and she loved it- it made her look so grown up! The first of many girly things I get to do with my firstborn. Ryan had the girls in the bathtub the next night and said she freaked out because her polish came completely off (I guess the kids polish comes off with water?)
"Dad- my toes!" Too funny...
