We've been on spring break for a week now! The first weekend (easter wkend for all you religious folks) mom and dad were working, so we were at our neighbor's Krista, Rud, Kaden and the other 4 kids....Becky officially babysat us on saturday, but then we hung out with them on sunday too. We've been back to the pool, went to the zoo on wednesday, rode bikes to the park while mom runs, and yesterday we all went skiing, and today dad and i went skiing. We had a great day yesterday, my cousins tia, sammer, riley and bridger were all there, and i am getting the hang of the green slopes, so i skied with tia. The bigger kids went with other grownups. Izaac was with mom in the morning and had a huge melt down before he even made it to the ski lift, so mom took him back inside and fed him a ton of eggs and a pb sandwich and milk. Mom thinks the protein must have helped, cause he hung out with everyone for lunch, and then was happy to go up and ski with dad. Dad thinks is was just that he didn't want to ski with mom. Mom was just happy they didn't waste almost 75bucks, so she didn't argue.
Mom dropped the camera in the the toilet at the ski lodge, so we are waiting for it to dry out completely to see if it still works. (it fell into a "clean" toilet, yuck!!!) aunty lara had a great laugh.
So no pictures.
Tomorrow we have the day with dad - mom goes to work.

Zac rides the motorcycle
Well, izaac rode the motorcycle with dad for the first time yesterday - up to now he has been too scared, especially of the noise. He rode the whole way with his hands over his ears, but he came running into the house crazy excited after he got back. I think he likes it as much as me! Especially going fast.
We spent yesterday at the indoor pool, spring whether is a tease - sunny by sooo windy it is cold and not fun to play at park - we tried! No pics, mom was on her own with us, and forgot the camera.

Springtime!!!!!!
We made it!!! We made it through another winter!
We have had a change of schedule - we are no longer babysitting my cousins ariadnee and samarah, and they are no longer babysitting us. So now mom and dad alternate work days so that they watch us 100% of the time. So we get to spend the afternoons when dad wakes up all together, and when mom is working dad does fun stuff with us and when dad is working/sleeping mom does fun stuff with us. They say it is alot easier to do fun outings with two kids versus four kids. The downside is that there are no more weekends where we are all together, so all the races dad had planned to do this year are no longer possible, unless we go to a babysitter, which isn't going to happen.
So we have been riding bikes almost every day - I rode 6 miles the other day to drop zac off at school and come back, while mom ran with me, we both barely made it home.... but i am really good at riding. Zac has lost his fear of speed, so he is enjoying the bike more, slowly getting more confident. We are also going to the indoor pool - I can go down the huge slide by myself, and fling myself off the rope swing just perfectly.
We are still in school, rode to school in the chariot yesterday, we can do that now since we don't have 4 kids to juggle. It was crazy windy, mom and dad almost came to a standstill on their bikes going downhill. It helps up feel better to use more leg power than fossil fuel power.
Mom and dad got a new computer - a laptop that stays up on the main floor, and mom has downloaded all the stuff she needs to get pictures up, so now maybe we'll tend to the blog more frequently.
HAPPY SPRING!!!!

Izaac is biking too!
Well, one week after I picked up biking on two wheels, Izaac picks it up too! He isn't as good as me on my bike, but he is balancing great and working on pedaling. His confidence is getting better, at least he isn't riding around the culdesac screaming "you're not holding me, i'm gonna fall, hold me...." anymore.
I am adding pictures for the last two months today, enjoy!

Biking!!!!
Ok, I know i haven't put any pictures on for a while, but i have big news.
Monday I rode my bike successfully without training wheels for the first time, and i really got it! Then on tuesday, while mom was at work, i rode all the way to the park while dad jogged with izaac in the chariot, and he couldn't keep up!!!
I have done a lot of grown up things lately - dad kept me waiting for lunch on tuesday, so by the time he came in to the kitchen, I was already almost done making pb sandwiches for zac and me. And I am clipping my own fingernails and toenails, and i am helping mom with chores, like collecting the garbage on garbage day.
Izaac is drawing the letter A! He is still learning to count and is slowly learning the letters, but he did write the letter A.
have a great day!!
