Today was a super hero day for the boys. It was Caleb who started it but Ezra got into the fun right away. We made do on a cape and then had to make masks for the boys. It was so cute! I had to share the pictures. What a precious time!

Making Cookies
Last week I made cookies. Ezra decided that he wanted to help. He has not helped in the kitchen much other than helping me dump things that I have measured into a bowl. so this was kind of new for him. He thought it was fantastic. Actually what happened is that I put the stick of butter out on the table by the bowl. I then went to get something else. When I turned around again he had the butter in his hand and was trying to open it. Which he finally did. I had fun watching him and he had fun unwrapping. As you can see he was very proud of himself.
Car Wash
A few weekends ago we had some amazing weather and were all outside. Dustin was washing the car and so the boys wanted to wash their stuff too. Caleb has done this for the last few years with Dustin. For Ezra however this was a first. He had a blast and cleaned everything he could. He was of course soaking wet by the time he was done but at least everything was clean. It is so much fun to watch all my boys doing things together.
Big Boy Bed
Ezra is now in a Big Boy Bed. He has actually been in it for about a month now. he has done really good at staying in his bed when he is supposed to. We waited a while to make the switch because in the mornings he would sit in his bed for up to an hour and play. He is an early riser like his brother. So when he would wake up before 7 I would leave him in his bed and let him read the books that I had left in there for him. I was concerned that when we switched him to the big boy bed that he would not do so well at that. However after about two days he got it and has since stayed in his bed until I go in to get him. He loves his new bed. For the first two days he kept say ‘moo bed’ and taking us in there to see it. Anyone that came over had to see it and if there was no one to see it then he would just go sit in his bed and play. It was really so cute! He still loves his new bed though some of the novelty has worn off.
He Knows How To Eat it
I don’t really feel i need to say much as the pictures speak for themselves. What a cutie!!
First Time at the Tide-Pools
At the end of April Caleb’s class had a field trip to Edmonds beach. I of course wanted to go and so that meant Ezra got to go too. It was a great day for us to go. The weather was great and water was very far out. Ezra was not sure about the whole thing and stuck close to me most of the time. He did however love seeing the starfish, crabs and huge rocks. Oh and walking in the water. Though the places where it was moving he got a little freaked out but there was not enough water to be an issue. He actually got out of there without being soaking wet. I figured both the boys would be wet at least from their waist down. However Ezra was not that adventurous this time. He had a good time.
Finger Painting!
Ezra recently discovered that he could paint with his hands. We have these roller paints that are great for Ezra since they do not drip and don’t make a big mess. So he figured out (with the help of Caleb) that he could roll it on his hands. He then would put his hand on the paper and smear it around. He had so much fun! It was fun for him to see how many colors he could get on one hand. He is not one for getting messy and does not like to have his hand dirty. So I was a bit surprised when he really enjoyed this activity. Of course he asked me every few minutes to wipe his hands off which I would do and then he would paint them again.

The FIrst Easter Egg Hunt
For Easter (and many other holidays) we joined our dear friends the Morrisons. We had a fabulous dinner and lots of fun. One of the great things for the kids was the easter egg hunt. The eggs were hid by the ‘big boys’ and I what i mean is grown and out of the house big. My kids give them a chance to be kids again. Anyway so they hid the eggs and then had a great time watching the kids find them. Ezra was not real sure what to do since he had never had an easter egg hunt before. Once he figured out he was supposed to find the eggs he did pretty good. He then got side tracked when he realized there was chocolate in the eggs. THen all he wanted to do was open his eggs and eat the chocolate. THat is of course the point right? Anyway he was so cute walking around looking for the eggs. He needed a lot of couching but everyone had a great time, kids and adults alike. (THe pictures did not turn out super good. They were blurry for some reason so please excuse them.)
“Beeball Bame”
As most of you know Caleb is in tee ball. I think Ezra likes it as much as Caleb does. Ezra usually is not very active because it is freezing and I have him all bundled up to stay warm. Two weeks ago was the first game. What a fun time we had! I will tell you the whole story on Caleb’s site. For the game since it was so cold, and so that I could watch the game without worrying where he was, I had Ezra in the stroller all bundled up. You can see that from the picture. He had a great time sitting there watching his parents do crazy things like yelling more than he has ever seen and his brother out on the field running around. He knows and loves baseball anyway so he enjoyed watching the goings on. He also had crackers to snack on the whole time which helped. Oh and before i left the house I wanted to get a picture of Caleb in his uniform. So I had him stand with his foot on the stool and be silly. Since Caleb did it Ezra had to do it too. It turned out to be such a cute picture I had to share.

Baby Mohawk!
I just had to share. I did this to Caleb all the time when he was little and have continued the tradition with Ezra. I thought it was just so cute that I had to share it with you!
