Playing Outside

We're pretty much outside every chance we get now. It's finally warming up, yeah! =) The kids both recently got new bikes so we've been spending a lot of time in the driveway. Kicking the soccer ball around is also a lot of fun. Emmit is a bit obsessed with balls, and while he still struggles with some one-syllable words, he can pretty clearly say - and tell the difference between! - a 'basketball', a 'football', a 'soccer ball', and a 'baseball'. His favorite thing to watch these days is SportCenter which Daddy sure loves! =)

Ellie loves her new bike! She is very good at riding it too!





"Mama, put the camera away!"



Emmit's favorite thing to do is put his feet up and just cruise down the driveway. Colin and/or I usually just stand at the end and catch him at the bottom. Our driveway has somewhat of an annoying slope so it's great for going DOWN the driveway, but that's about it!

Emmit on his new Diego bike! Emmit wasn't even walking last spring/summer, so all of our outside stuff was pretty much 'girl stuff'. Emmit finally got his own bike though so he doesn't have to ride the Barbie bike anymore =)



Our big boy! He still seems so 'baby' in some ways, but totally toddler in others!
