Bike Riding and some nice weather

Nick has been enjoying the nice weather. No more snow, no more winter coats! At least for now

While I was reading and relaxing on our porch, Nick came out to tell me that he loves me this much. And of course practice his independent standing.


And so we pulled out their bikes for the year
They had lots of fun on their first bike ride of the season
(with blue mouths for some candy)

Spring has Sprung - Finally!

It has felt like a very long winter.
Which made the sun extra bright and made us want to spend more and more time outside enjoying it.
But first some popsicles!


Can you believe that I got that photo of the kids on my very first shot!


We got to work on the garden.
Nick got so much fun out of the sprinkler!


And Katheryn was busy painting the house for us


We got to sit in the sun and catch some rays (pulled out the sunscreen first)


Katheryn is enjoying a bright colour pallet for the spring.
You can't tell from the picture -but those shoes are bright! Practically glow-in-the-dark!
She loves them!


We set up the water-pond at grandma's house!


Nick? Is the water cold?



 They got used to it quickly!
And we had a soaked boy at the end of the day!


All in the price of fun!

Ready for a Sunny Summer!

The weather has been simply summer-ish!
So out comes all of the outside toys and our backyard looks like it belongs to a couple of kids!
First comes out the art supplies. What better place to paint than outside in the natural light.


And now that Nickolas realizes that he can actually walk around in the play house, it is his favorite place to be. Nick has full freedom inside that house. The two of them can actually play together outside! And not just sitting in the sandbox.


There is playing baseball!
We have a gazebo, and Katheryn likes to run around the bases. That is actually how we spent Mothers Day!
STRIKE ONE!
I had to buy a t-ball stand when I found out I am a horrible pitcher - if I didn't hit Katheryn with the ball, I was too high/too low/too wide!

 Nickolas really happy to hit the ball, I'm still teaching him the right side of the bat!


Nick was actually just really happy to stand at the T-ball thing in his walker.


He was significantly less happy when he realized I wanted him to walk on the grass with his walker!
This is his 'ha ha I'm getting down' face... "NO WALK"


The slide is another great toy that is perfect for the kids this summer too!
Katheryn has loved the slide right from the beginning, Nickolas was never that sure about it.


Now he climbs up himself, slides down, then crawls around and climbs back up.
I'm counting this as physiotherapy.



And what better way to end a nice spring/summer day than to pass out halfway up the couch!
