Kids and clips

We've been having lots of fun this spring. Every parent says it, but its so amazing at how they grow. Sometimes its hard to see your babies grow up, but I also find it so exciting to see them change and grow into little people. Below is a favorite snapshot of each kid and a fun video clip of each of them recently.

Starting with our eldest Hayden.

He is quickly approaching 7 and has expressed an interest in piano lessons. We've borrowed our neighbor's keyboard (thank you Niesen family!) and he's played it every night since. He's even composing his own music...



Hudson just started his first season of "real baseball" or coach pitch. He managed to break focus his first game enough to tell me "MOM... you're distracting me. This is embarassing!" from the field as I was taking pictures! What a character. Don't worry, baseball hasn't taken away too much time from his lego creations.
This is a video clip of him sliding into "home"....well, almost. :)


Then there is Eva the Diva.

She is all of 2 going on 22. If she hasn't already told you herself, her favorite color is PURPLE! Typically the next word out of her mouth after that is "Purpulicious!" I swear I did not coach her to do this. I'm thinking we will work on her humility next as whenever we go somewhere and people tell her "Oh, your so pretty" her reply is most always "Tank You....I Gorgeous!"

Kansas City Zoo

Hayden's first grade class field trip this spring was to the KC Zoo. All 5 of us accompanied the class and we had a great time seeing the animals together! Below is a picture of Hayden with his super special teacher and family friend, Mrs. Johnson!

Huddy and Daddy ready to see the animals!

The animals were in their natural habitats rather than cages, so we got some up close images!
