I scream, you scream....

...yep, we all scream for ice cream.  "I know there was snow on the ground this morning, but can we have some ice cream, Mom?"

You want some Mom?

Delicious

Beleive it or not he did actually share with his sister :)  But only a little.

Breaking out the Bouncer!!!

Like I said the weather has been awesome!  In addition to our daily walks to the park, and many, many trampoline dates with friends - we have officially taken the bouncer out of hibernation....let's just say the best $100 we ever spent :)

The M & M's and good buddy Ayva

Awwww.....hugs

Wrestling Moves

Guess who is having more fun?

Yep - definitly Daddy

Matea and some wrestling moves - scary

And of course, Big Mack's new "obsession" - the Wii.

Teaching Bampi to play a little MarioKart

Bampi concentrating REALLY hard on impressing his grandson with his video game skills

Not like the Intelevision, right?

Uncle Jer cuddling Miss. Matea, I think she was a little tired :)

We are LOVING this weather :)

The M & M's LOVE playing outside, love, love, love it!  And this past week, we had some AWESOME weather. 

Awww...they love each other - for now.

This kinda made my heart stop - not gonna lie.

 A little "pre-run" stretching

Out for a little jog

I love this picture - do you ever get tired of reading that?

C'mon Mom let's go again!

just hanging out :)

This is Miss. Matea all "strapped in" and ready to go to our favorite park.  It's wheel chair accessible so she "toddles" around pretty good.  It is so fun!

Get ready for lots of pictures of this slide, because Miss. Matea LOVES it!

A little bit of exploring

Miss. Matea in the middle of a very "diva-licious" moment.

Now we still are enjoying some pancake Sunday's, as of right now Matea is not a huge fan of pancakes, unless of course I have put some chocolate chips in them, but then she just picks them out - whatever - so "Pancake Sunday's" have now become "Carbohydrate Celebrations" - Big Mack has the usual (pancakes) and Matea enjoys a big giant plate of hashbrowns, with ketchup.

*not to worry we also serve fruit, but the pictures are not as cute*

And a little "Yo Gabba, Gabba" shot thrown in for fun.

This time last year....

Sorry...sorry...sorry!  I have not blogged since April 9th!?!  Well you can read, youknoew that already, right?  Well here is my sob story:  Mommy got a job...sigh.  I am finishing out the school year in a grader two class - it is awesome, and sooooo draining.  I swear I repeat the phrase "sit in your seat please" and "if you have a question you need to be sitting in your chair" or else my entire day would be spent literally being SWARMED by seven year olds, who all just want to go to the bathroom anyway :)

So to make a long story ahort I have actually missed an entire week of my children's lives!  That's right, not 1 picture has been taken of the M &M's since April 9th - it was a sad moment for me when I went to look for a picture, and there were none!  Worst mother ever!

Instead...I decided to show you where we were at this time LAST YEAR (April 2009) 

look at ALL the hair my sweet baby boy had!

Look at...the lack of hair?

Awww...they are still friends

I remember this picture like it was yesterday, why you ask?

Because Big Mack was doing a big poo in his pants when I took this picture,

and now he does his "business" in the potty!

They were already friends

Big Mack having a little nap on Bampi's shoulder - this NEVER happens anymore!

Our little "chubby monkey"

This was the first picture where he looked like a little man to me

I cried whe I saw this picture - he was growing up (sniff, sniff)

But he still stuck stickers to his tummy and the FREAKED out 

when he pulled them off. 

Smelling some flowers :)

Oh my goodness this looks like it was taken 5 seconds before nap time - I remember this was when Miss. Matea had decided that her "wake up time" was 5 am - every morning like clockwork - 5 am

oh and did I mention Big Mack gave up napping THE SAME WEEK!

Good (rough) times :)

And look at them now!

Hope you enjoyed the "walk down memory lane"

I know I did :)

*I will be the M & M's personal paparazzi in the coming days-no worries*

Weeeeee!

Went to the park before the "snowstorm" and giant winds

Best day ever!

Check out Miss. Matea's face - she is so pumped in every picture!

Happy kidlets!

Now....who do you think is having more fun?
