Caleb's favorite thing to do lately...

...catch FROGS!!
Last Friday he came home from school and caught 2 and then 4 more with Kevin's help when he got home from work. He has continued to catch them everyday since! I am kind of surprised too, because we have had a lot of rain lately. As soon as the rain stops he is "in" the creek, in our backyard searching for frogs. Yesterday he caught 6...his bucket was full of jumping frogs! Personally I like the small ones that he catches, but he seems to enjoy the big ones! Each night he lets them go back into the creek, so I think it is mostly the same frogs getting caught each day. You know he is not alone in this...he has his helpful side-kick Ethan right there with him, but Caleb is also getting the neighborhood kids involved as well. So far no frogs have made it into our house yet and here's hoping it stays that way! :)

Levi: 15 months

Levi went to the doctor this past Friday for his 15 month check-up. To our surprise he only weighed 27lbs and is 34 inches tall. I guess now that he is busy walking everywhere he isn't gaining as much weight.

For fun I looked back to see what Caleb and Ethan were at 15 months...
Caleb 26 lbs and 34 1/2 inches
Ethan 22 lbs and 32 1/4 inches

Levi is at such a fun age...he is learning new words and doing so many new "tricks" as we call them. His latest is saying "uh-oh", as well as panting and barking like a dog! He just loves our neighbor's dog Myah, a Chocolate Lab. He follows her all around, loves to get licked by her, and enjoys laying on her!! :)
Levi's new favorite place to be is outside swinging, going for bike rides, and as you can see from the photos climbing up on the tramp!

We sure love this little guy and we are having fun watching him grow!

GOAL!!

Keep an eye on #9 and notice the left foot!



Congratulations Caleb on your first goal of the Spring season...we are so proud of you!!

Special thanks to Grandma Choo Choo for getting a video of it and to Caleb's teammate Ryan for the asssit! This was Caleb's second game this season and boy we are having FUN!

Tacos...

Monday was Taco Night at the Harts...our boys think this meal is SO fun, because we use the "Lazy Susan" and they love spinning it around to get their Taco toppings...and you know "their spins" are always gentle! ;)

Well Ethan made a really great Taco, however he was only eating Fruit, Jell-o, and Chips'n Cheese. So I asked him why he was eating everything, BUT the Taco...his response:

"I just made my Taco for show"

Oma...

Today we are remembering one special lady,
our Oma...we sure miss her!

Sunshine...

Last week my mom and I are driving in the van with the boys...Caleb and Ethan are sitting in the backseat of the van, which some days can be a good thing and other days all you have is fights going on back there. But today Caleb was trying to have a "teaching" moment.

For those of you who know Ethan(aka "Bigs") you know that for the last year or so his favorite color has been yellow. However he doesn't call it yellow, he calls it SUNSHINE.

So my mom and I are listening to them in the backseat and this is what we hear...

Caleb: "Now Bigs I am in school, so I know a lot more than you and you can't call yellow sunshine. So Bigs say yel"

Ethan: "Yel"

Caleb: "Now say low"

Ethan: "Sunshine"

Caleb: "NO Bigs say yellow"

Ethan: "Sunshine"

Caleb: "Yellow"

Ethan: "Sunshine"

...my mom and I just laughed and laughed!! Nice try Caleb!!

Chicago..

To end Spring Break my parents and all of us headed down to Chicago! We went to Legoland and the boys had a blast seeing all the neat things built out of Legos and making their own creations! If your kids are in to Legos it's a fun place to go...from a dragon ride, to watching how Legos are made, and even a 4-D Bob the Builder Lego movie. We all really had a good time there. Caleb and Ethan are very happy with their Star War Lego souviners! We stayed overnight and so the boys also enjoyed swimming in the hotel pool as well...

Christmas in April?!?!

It was for the Hart boys today! This past Christmas one of the gifts my parents got the three boys was a Basketball Hoop. They have been so excited to actually use it. So last week Kevin started digging the 4ft hole it needed to go in...then poured the cement...and today the Basketball Hoop went up! Hip-Hip-Horray!

This Basketball Hoop is timeless...I am sure almost all of you have fond memories of playing "P-I-G" or "H-O-R-S-E" in your driveway. Or you have other special memories of shooting hoops with friends and family. Both Kevin and I are excited to make those special memories with our boys, as well as watch them make their own with their friends.

Special thanks again to Papa and Grandma Choo Choo for the Basketball Hoop and all the great memories that come with it!
