Last Week... Dress Up, Friends, T-Ball and a Hospital Visit

Ireland and Cohan are really into dressing up and picking out their own clothes lately.  There are some battles that we are just not going to fight...  

I walked in to the living room last week and heard my mom's voice.  The kids know how to Skype her on their own.  I love that!

We had some really beautiful weather two weekends ago.  We spent A LOT of time outside!

Cohan and I went for haircuts before a night with friends.

And then we began to prepare for Easter.  We decorated the house with crafts from previous years, got treats ready for Cohan's school Easter party and even made sweet treats for our "Eggs-ellent" neighbors.  

Scott left very early Monday morning for a work trip to San Diego.  The kids and I were on our own for the week.  We loved it! Uncle Pooh took Cohan to school every morning and he loved that!  Alison ended up getting pneumonia, so Betsy stayed home with Ireland and Sofia for a couple of days.  I am not sure who liked it more, Betsy, Ireland , Sofia or me.  I loved the pictures I got each day.  These two truly are best friends.  I love that my kids love my best friend just as much as I do.  I'm so lucky to have her!

Wednesday was T-Ball for Cohan.  The first two practices went pretty terribly.  He was shy and didn't want to try anything.  He clung to our legs... totally NOT the Cohan we all know.  This past Wednesday started a little rocky.  But, by the end, he was running bases, throwing and even caught a ball hit into outfield.  

We were MORE than ready for Scott to get home.  Unfortunately, his first night home began with a trip to the ER for Ireland.  All is good and Ireland is back to normal.

The time is flying by lately... 

Two Weeks Have Passed...

The day after I returned from Seattle, it was beautiful outside.  

We headed to the park for some morning play time!

These two lately have been so sweet to one another!

It's been so nice and we have played outside a lot!  

This past weekend was Scott and I's 6 year anniversary.  We spent time together and enjoyed every minute of it!  We played games Friday night, did dinner, bowling and drinks Saturday night, and then did ANOTHER date night Sunday night and went to see a play.  Thank you so much Jane and Hiram for watching the kids both nights!  We missed the kids, but LOVED our time together.  Cohan and Ireland had a great time too!  

Cohan has recently found great interest in reading "big books like Mommy."  I think it is hilarious.  He takes this book places too.  He has always loved reading, but now he has taken it up a notch.  

Monday, Cohan was so excited that Mack came with me to pick him up from school.  We got to take Mack to Flipz with us and these two were cracking me up!!

And Ireland has been busy with Mrs. Alie this week!  Ireland is also very excited about a new baby that Mrs. Alie is watching a couple days a week.  Sofia and Ireland were so excited to be back together!!  

Today, Ireland and I had a picnic in the back yard while Cohan was at t-ball.   

We are so ready for this nice weather to stick around!
