Touching the tiger picture...wow tigers are big!

We went to see the elephants and giraffe again!

We had a great day at the zoo!

Thanks Papa John & Meme!

We have a NANNY!

With both Daddy & Mommy working we had to decide...do we hire a Nanny or put the kids in daycare?

Since Mason is still so young and we only need occasional help...we opted for a Nanny.

After many interviews, one nanny quiting during a training day....we finally found our Nanny.

There is no picture of her on the blog yet, but she did take 14 pictures of the kids today!! 

I have edited them and picked two to share on our blog. 

For anyone who knows me....this is a big plus for our Nanny, Miss Cheryl!

Mason relaxing! 

Daddy picked this sweet butterfly onesie for her before she was born!

Corben playing with his truck.

He will say, "my truck, my ball, etc!"

Sprinklers....

Well it started with us watering all the trees...then we checked the sprinklers and this is what happened next....

Corben just went for it and got completely soaked!

Yes, we took off his pants and put on his water shoes, next time I will just grab his swim trunks!

This is the way to get my little guy to smile big!

Corben playing hard in the sprinklers and dripping wet!

Serious...

Corben is serious about getting to work!

Wearing Mom's garden gloves, carrying his tool box and hand tools!

Don't Mess with this little worker!

Sharing toys

Peek-a-Boo

They were playing so well together while sitting on the bean bag...

of course I couldn't get either one to smile...

but I do love their eye colors in this picture, click to enlarge.

A great day with Nonie!!

Nonie came to play with Corben & Mason for the day while both Daddy & Mommy were at work.

Nonie takes great pictures for us to view the fun day they spent together!

Cones that were intended for Corben to ride his bike around...

however, stepping over them was more fun!

1st photo shoot of the day for Mason

Nonie gave her this sweet ladybug & flower pillow for Easter.

Nonie also gave Mason her yellow & black bumble bee outfit...too cute!!

Corben's special activity....FINGER PAINTS!

This little boy loves arts and crafts!

Many hand prints later...so colorful!

One of the final projects!

Corben 4/2010

Nonie taught Corben how to clump the paint, fold the paper in half and then admire the final product!!!

LOVE IT!!!

2nd photo shoot for miss Mason...sitting so good in the chair!

Pretty daisies and a pretty little girl!!

It was such a great day that they spent a lot of time outdoors with Nonie.

Corben got to climb the tree, water some plants, fill his bird feeder, and "mow" the lawn!

THANKS Nonie for having a great day of fun with Corben & Mason!!

We all love you!

Rainbow...in Clovis!

Leap Frog Learning

Mason is sitting better each day.

I have another Leap Frog Learner on my hands! 

Bright colors and lots of music...she's a fan!
