Never a dull moment!

It's been an exciting month around here.  Including a field trip to the National Zoo with James' preschool, visiting family in Kansas and Colorado, and some fun times around our house with 2 growing boys!

James and I made some cookies for a bake sale.  James insisted on changing into his Spider man costume first.  I don't know why, but I thought it was pretty funny.
First time trying rice cereal.  We started James on cereal pretty early and he was all about it.  Eli isn't quite ready yet as we found out after giving him a bit!

We went to a local pick your own strawberry farm with a group of friends.  It was so fun! 

James and his buddy, Abby!  They enjoyed running and playing much more than actually picking the strawberries.

I really enjoyed picking strawberries.  Eli just wanted to nap though! 
Our trip to Kansas was amazing!  James even learned about pool. 

Big smiles for Uncle Kyle and Aunt Crystal!

James enjoyed gaining some kitchen knowledge with soon-to-be Chef Teri and Grandma.

Checking cattle with Grandpa Jim

James had so much with Uncle Josh

Eli enjoyed the extra attention too!

One of my most favorite pictures ever!

My boys - so fun and I just love to watch them grow.
Future aviator?  Although he tells us he'd rather jump out of helicopters than fly them.  This kid has no fear!


James and some friends at the National Zoo.  The kids had a blast!

Fast as the Flash

The boys have a need for speed!  Recently James and Eli built Pine Wood derby cars to compete in the James' Boy Scout troop. In the beginning... We did some scholarly research to prepare.  Thank you YouTube! My step-dad, AKA Pawpaw was a big help and taught James to use power tools. Sanding is always fun! James designed and built his car with minimal assistance. Spray paint is always fun. Added weights to make it as heavy as the rules allowed. The finished products! The race was a lot of fun! James didn't win but he worked really hard and was really proud of his car. While his derby car wasn't the fastest, James was the fastest in a recent track race.  My future Olympic sprinter!   Zoom zoom zoom

M-I-C-K-E-Y and a bunch of other fun stuff

Everyone grab their Mickey Ears!  We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Walt Disney World.  We flew down to FL from MA, my sister and her beautiful family and my aunt and cousin all flew from CA, and my mom traveled from MO!   All 11 of us stayed in one beautiful villa right on the Walt Disney property and had a great time. We celebrated JillMama's 60th birthday in style.   We also celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday while in WDW! Everyone had a great time! We celebrated Halloween a little early at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!   Can you tell we're the Avengers!?!  Eli was the Incredible Hulk, Tobias was Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man), James was Captain America, and I was Black Widow. By the end of the night, the Incredible Hulk was done, but still really cute! Gabe (age 4) and James got along great! Elias and Gavin (also 2) were fast friends too. Fun times on a ride with my little man! Rrrr Matey!  ...

Winter in Boston

Happy February!  I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!   Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James!  There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!  James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break!  So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! This was a fun assignment for the entire family.  Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer.  We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together.  I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great! The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! My two cuti...
