1st day of vacation








We are on vacation and the boys are loving the ocean and the pool.  We are in Myrtle Beach and arrived last night.  The drive wasn't too bad.  Caden had a few crying spells and mainly because he was tired.  Caden is also in the process of getting 3 molars and has a sinus infection.  So, considering all that, plus the fact that he cannot sit still, he did amazing in the car!  Both boys love the beach, sand, and water.  We went to the beach twice today (morning & afternoon) and went swimming in the pool twice as well.  The boys have shared a room/bed since we've been here, a first for them.  I put Caden to sleep first (because I still rock him) and then Quinn goes in and goes to sleep.  So far so good.  We might have to move Caden into Quinn's room when we get home if this goes good.  More vacation pics to come.....

Caden turns 2!


Hey hey, it's my birthday!

This is what happens when he gets really hungry

BIG bite

Caden turned 2 yesterday, 4/16. We had already had a combo birthday party for both boys but still celebrated each of their birthdays separately too. Caden still has a scab on his forehead because he keeps picking it so it's taking a long time to heal. He's finally talking more and can say a lot of words. He's also trying to repeat us more. I'm sure he'll be talking in full sentences before we know it! We have his 2 year check up on Thursday. I'm guessing 30 lbs and 35 inches, we'll see...

Playing at the park





Today we took the boys to Three Creeks Park. We took a nice long walk (boys in the stroller) and then played at the playground. They were tired boys tonight!

Korean food



Caden the ladies man!
We went to a Japanese/Korean restaurant on Saturday with some other families. It was soooo good. Adam had bulgogi and I had bimbibop. Caden loved the bimbibop too. He kept asking for more. Both boys also liked trying to use chopsticks....they still need a bit of practice!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a flying Quinn...





The boys love to take the cushions off the couch in the living room and jump, jump, jump!

Easter

Caden loved seeing the bunnies at our church Easter egg hunt

Caden picked up 1 egg, opened it, sat down & ate the candy. One piece of candy & he was done!
Quinn got quite a few eggs

All ready for the church egg hunt
The order of these pictures are not in order. On Saturday 4/7 we went to our church's Easter egg hunt. They had bunnies, games, a huge blow up slide, firetrucks there to "tour" and of course eggs filled with candy. Both boys had a good time.
On Easter Sunday we went to our church and then to Lynchburg for the afternoon. The boys had another egg hunt there. So, we've had plenty of candy around here! Quinn was not too thrilled about having to wear his fancy clothes but a little bribe and he was fine. We normally don't get dressed up for church and the boys almost always just wear jeans & a t-shirt so this was pretty fancy for them. Caden didn't mind though.
Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Easter bunny



The Easter bunny came to Quinn's preschool today to visit. Caden was not shy, as usual, and Quinn was, also as usual. Quinn said he was afraid because he thought the bunny would talk. Both boys were quite excited to receive an egg from the Easter bunny, especially since there was candy inside.
