First half of March

The first half of this month has flown by.  We had a nasty week of fighting colds but I think we're finally on the mend and its SO nice to get out of the house this week!!

Cole found baby Brady's carseat at preschool and helped himself! 

Giving each other sled rides using a big blanket!

Cole tried pulling Sydney but it didn't work out so well. 

Riding bikes at lake miramar

Walking to the playground.  SO nice not having to take a stroller every time we go.  I sometimes have to carry home for half of it but he is doing so great at walking most of it.  

They dumped more sand one morning so that was fun!

Cole found mommy's heels :) 

He said, "Look! Mommy!"

Picking pinecones

Sweet boy

Found a roly poly

Sydney sharng her lip gloos

Teaching Cole how to apply it 

Back at his favorite spot - feeding the ducks. 

We were getting ready to leave when I saw this hatchery truck coming down the ramp. I had a feeling  it meant they were going to re-stock the lake so we stayed for a bit longer - and SO glad we did!

Waiting to see the fish

Here they come!

SO neat!

Her feet can touch the ground now - guess she needs to use the 'big girl' swings from now on!

Talking about who knows what with her friend Savannah

After 6 days of a fever and coughing/sneezing, I took Syd to the doctor.  She asked if bunny could come too...

She did great!  Doc said it was just a cold/bug that had to work its way through.  She said she could give us antibiotics or we could try to keep treating it with the humidifier, lots of clear liquids and healthy food - which we chose and she is now good!

This past Saturday was HOT here (high 80's/low 90's) so we headed to the beach early!  Syd asked if she could bring her chair - so cute seeing her sit next to Daddy at the beach. 

They played SO well for so long.  Makes me happy thinking we may have some beach lovers and may spend lots of days there during the summer :)

Dave is sitting under the umbrella waaaay back there.  Cole would fill up his tiny shovel/spoon with water and try and carry it all the way to Daddy to show him his water.  Did it over and over and over. 

And they're out!  Successful beach day...until, we get home and they both decide that the 15 minute nap was long enough.  ahhhhhhh. 

I had promised them ice cream the day before for something (I can't remember what) so took them after the beach (No nap + sugar = probably not the best idea but they were SO appreciative and good so I guess it all worked out). 

He LOVED it

Getting every last drip.  He is so my son :) 

She enjoyed hers too.  And then asked to come sit next to me and for me to take a picture of her.  Such a sweet girl. 

This picture cracks me up - Sydney started riding and Cole got on the back to go for a ride.  She said she was giving the clown a ride!!!  Must have read that in some circus book!

They both had fun and no one got hurt!!!
