I think Michael is worried about the dust bunnies that used to live under the fridge...


Playing with water


Michael was busy riding his bikes and of course, playing with water!! We are so happy with all the rain!! They are finally lifting watering restrictions - but I think we will use our water ration to have clean water to play with instead of the rain water and all the leaves - too much pollen makes it look dirty!!


Finally - it was a beautiful day so outside we all went!! To keep Andrew entertained I put the world in his cabana!! He loved it!!


With the icky weather we had to find new games to play inside...Michael found the bag of change so I got the muffin tin and we played throw the money all over!!! Or maybe Michael is hinting that he needs a trip to the casino!!
Michael also just discovered that he liked orange juice.


Michael did participate in the horse train ride - 4 cars pulled by a quad. I think he liked it, but he didn't want a 2nd ride!!


Sophie (who right now LOVES My Little Pony) had a GREAT time!! She did ride the horse and loved it!! She even had on her cool cowboy boots!!


Maybe the hand sanitizer was too distracting?? Michael had more fun just running and cleaning his hands so no pony rides this year...


Michael was ok to sit on the saddle over the hay but didn't want to get on the pony or the horse...


We get there early which was great - Michael got to feed the horses while we waited. He liked to pet their noses. Here is Michael saying HI to Big Charlie.


OK - Mom got out the baby bjorn so now we are ready!! This will be MUCH easier that walking with 2 strollers when Michael gets tired - Michael gets the stroller and Andrew gets carried - good thing he weighs less!!!
Here we are at the horse ring for some pony rides!!


Mom and Andrew at massage class. Andrew seemed to really like it - both looking around at the other babies and getting a massage!! He

didn't cry like most of the other babies - which made me look good since the instructor told everyone that I was back with baby #2.


Michael is either confusing baseball with football and doing a celebration dance or Mom just snapped the picture at just the right time!!


Is someone being a backseat driver??


Michel being very healthy and staying hydrated!! Guess I will have to drink from Michael's water bottle since he has mine!!


A new twist to our walk!! Michael took his umbrella stroller. Most of the time Michael was happy to push the little stroller while Mom pushed the big stroller. Was a great idea when after walking to Barnes and Noble and playing with the train table Michael wanted to be carried home. Not easy to push both strollers - there must be a better way!!


Daddy had to take a picture with Andrew since Andrew is wearing his My Daddy Loves Me shirt


Michael likes to play inside his tent - working on his throwing arm (since ti is baseball season)


Duncan comes over to see if he can be part of the fun - and if there is any food around that he can share!!


Andrew LOVES to sit on this mat and make music!! He figured it out the first time I put him under it!!


Opening day!! Guess I will have to buy the boys Yankee stuff myself - Bryan has the family convinced the boys are Mets fans (his side AND my side!!)


Michael and the birthday girl!! Michael isn't tired - just that falling down is as much fun as jumping!!


Michael went to his friend Sophie's 3rd birthday party - he LOVED this castle - so happy jumping!!!

Michael is ready for his first day in the pool!! After helping me get the pool ready yesterday he is ready for swimming

today!! He has on his new sandals and has a new toy or two for the water!!


Michael tries to keep Andrew happy while Mom watches the stuff in the oven, and Michael on the chair


Someone is smiling!! Andrew had his 2 month checkup - 12 pounds 4 ounces, 24 inches long and with a head measurement of 15.5 inches. Andrew was not happy after his shots (who is?) but he recovered quickly and had no side effects!! He also got the new Rototech vaccine for the Rotavirus - this is administered orally and Andrew did very well - even without the spoonful of sugar!!


After helping me with some cookies Michael helped with the carrots for dinner.


Michael is good at climbing up the rock slide


Here are Michael and Andrew at another playground
