Last night Jackson saw a red van drive by and said: Daddy's van? too cute (daddy drives a red van).
Shane played peek a boo with a stranger when we went out for ice cream for about 15 minutes- adorable to watch. They both seemed so sweet. And then bed time came and those sweet little boys were no where to be found. We had lots of screaming and crying last night for a long time and for no reason. Eventually everyone was settled but around 11pm it started all over again. Ah, and big sigh, I don't' know what else to say about that one.
Tonight we went bike riding! We got the boys tricycles for easter and helmets of course. Daddy and mommy basically just pushed the bikes around the block- Jackskon only made it half way but Shane went all the way up to see the diggers. We met a new neighbor on the way home. Keep ringing those bells boys! You'll be riding solo before we know it.

Swimming Lessons
Today was our first day of swimming lessons! Both Shane and Jackson did pretty good. Jackson was a little afraid at first but then he got more into it; Shane was all smiles all of the time. Shane even went down the slide into the pool! I think what was more difficult was getting everyone ready for and after the swimming lesson- that took coordination and patience! Someone from work told me to be sure to bring my video camera and to take lots of photos- I just smiled thinking to myself that we'll be lucky to get through the class, forget about pictures! And I feel very proud that we did get through the class and everything that comes with it. Until next week......
Today was full of firsts- we went to Monkey Joe's for a Birthday Party and Shane really liked saying Monkey Joe? (a lot). This place is full of bouncy houses- of all shapes and sizes- there was a small area for little kids but it is really a big kid place. Well our little Shane didn't want to be a little kid any more and he followed the big kids right into the big bouncy houses! He climbed up tall steps to go sliding down in laughter and screams down BIG slides. Parents aren't allowed in the bouncy houses so in order to get Shane out we had to find someone who worked there to go in and pull him out! Shane was not happy. Jackson was also very brave in the bouncy houses but Jackson was more like- I'll go up the latter two rings and then come down but Jackson was laughing the entire day!
Daddy took both boys to Home Depot to get some things to fix the screen door. The boys have figured out how to open the door to the porch and since the screen has been ripped off then can climb right out there- its crazy! I can't even fix supper and think that they are O.K. in the play room, even more I can't even get them inside to eat supper! I get one in the house and the other takes off around the porch, pick him up and in the meantime the other one has crawled out the door! It is never dull around here. Back to sorting clothes- you boys are getting so big so fast i think we are already into 3T clothes! and I realized today that I need to buy you some play shoes that fit you. Love and Kisses- Mommy.

Shane Left, Jackson RightDon't go mommy
Both boys are saying more words every day. This morning when Nana came over to mind them and I was trying to leave for work Shane said "Don't go work mommy"- ugh! broke my heart to hear him say that, he was so sweet with his words and so sincere. Never the less I sat down for a few minutes then I had to leave for work.
During this time, Jackson was helping with the laundry and wanted to hang a dish towel on his play sink- he searched long and hard to find the perfect spot for that towel and he was able to hang it on the front door of his refrigerator. Jackson was being a very good helper this morning, while Shane watched the royal wedding on t.v.

The Princes of Belmont
Nana always says that Jackson and Shane are her princes of Belmont. Well this morning we broke all of the rules and watched the newest Royal Wedding- the wedding of Prince William and Catherine the commoner as they called her.
Shane pulled the cushions off the couch and sat watching with excitement saying I see castle, I see castle- too cute. I doubt you boys will remember this day as you are only 2.5 years but maybe someday we will talk about this morning and look at the pictures together. I know that I will not forget the looks on your faces watching the wedding on television.

Belmont Winter Carnival
We went to the winter carnival at the High School. We got balloons and played lots of games. 
Shane playing catch the ducks with Trish.
Loving the ball pit. The objective was to find a ball with the W on it to win a prize. But my little guys decided that throwing the balls was more fun.
