Sandon's Birthday present to Mom

Sandon painted me an oil based canvas for my Birthday and surprised me with it. Dad helped him set up the paints and he did the rest by himself. He is a regular Picasso!! Mom is so proud.

Sucker Freaks!

My kids are freaks for suckers....The only bad thing is the cleaning up of Raleigh when they are done with them. We're getting smarter though. This time Dad got her a yellow sucker instead of a red one.

Night time at the Goodmans

We had to capture this picture. Raleigh has never fallen asleep watching a movie. She must have been exhausted. There is always a first time for everything right. Night Night Raleigh!

This is Raleigh first night gown. Her Aunt Karie gave it to her. It was her cousin Aleah's. We had to take pics of it, it hangs down to the floor and she looks so cute walking in it. It's just a wee bit too big.

New Thomas the Tank Engine

Sandon received a package last week from his Grandma Keiko. He was so excited to open it up to see what was inside. He loved his new Thomas the Tank Engine track. The kids played with it all morning. We had to watch Raleigh like a hawk cause she kept picking up the little rocks and putting them in her mouth. Everything still goes to the mouth with her.

Rub a dub dub, Kids in the sink?

Last week during dinner Raleigh was covered in food, I didn't even want to put her in the bath cause I knew she would have to have 2 of them to get rid of all the food on her body and face. I decided I'd rinse and bathe her in the sink, them I could wash all the food down the drain. Of course Sandon had to have a bath too on the other side. They had a blast!!

Easter Egg hunts year round

My kids love to play with the Easter eggs daily and hunt for them. Sandon likes to hide them and have Mom and Dad find them too! It's fun to watch them hunt for them until the halves end up pulled apart and found everywhere in the house. This was the first real hunt that Raleigh actually participated in.

Lollipops not Suckers

I took the kids to the Enstrom's Chocolate Factory here in town, to each pick out a candy. They picked out Lollipops. Every time I would call them suckers Sandon would correct me and say "no Mom, they are lollipops not suckers." Thank goodness for wet wipes. My kids are always a sticky mess, especially the little one!!!
