As I mentioned in my last post we spent a week up in Roseville while Daniel took his 9th grade students on a Grand Canyon Rafting trip. It was a great week! The weather was beautiful and we got to do a lot of fun things!
Grandma got the boys their very first Easter baskets. Fun books, soft bunnies, and marshmallows and M & M's at 8:00 in the morning...I think the baskets were a hit! She also
made them these darling monkey pajamas!
Just a cute shot of my two monkeys
My little Easter cutie pie...all dressed up and ready to hunt!
"Come Mommy, et's go ook for eggs." (He doesn't have the "L" sound down yet)
Jonathan loved the egg hunt! He didn't even know that the eggs had goodies in them! He just enjoyed finding the eggs and adding them to his collection. The other children had long since moved on to other activities and there was Jonathan scouring the yard for more eggs. It was pretty cute to see him so focused on something.
As you can see he had quite a basketful!
On Monday, my mom and the boys and I met my Dad and Carla for breakfast and then we headed over to one of Roseville's elite shopping centers called "The Fountains." And fountains they have! Aden (my water baby) LOVED the play area and quickly made friends with all the other children. He's so cute...he calls ALL other kids his "friends."
Jonathan (my not-so-water baby) on the other hand was a little nervous with the idea of water shooting up out of the ground and was content to watch from the safety of the stroller. I'm hoping his apprehension for all things water related (sprinklers, pools, hot tubs, hoses, etc.) is just a phase. He loves the bathtub...go figure!? If you look closely you'll notice that Jonathan's swim trunks are a bit big and Aden's are a bit small. Hmm...well, my sweet dad (a.k.a. Grandpoo) got them dressed =) In his defense the boys are nearly the same size! It was definitely an honest mistake...one that their own father makes often!
They had a little train and Grammy and Aden and Jonathan and I went for a ride!
On Wednesday my roommates from college came over to my mom's house for lunch and a playdate. It was great to see everyone! Here is a shot of everyone (minus Jonathan, who was napping.) Thanks girls for making the trip!
My brother, the rock star! =) My brother Mike is in a band and on Wednesday night my mom and I put the boys to bed (and left them home with Grandpa Jesse) so we could head off to see the band play. They did a great job and it was fun to see my brother doing something that he enjoys so much! It was also pretty neat to see my brother up there with his buddy Jeff...they've been jamming together since they were in junior high!
Grandma reading bedtime stories with her "babies."
On Friday Miranda and her kiddos came over to play. It was great to see them! It's awesome that they live so close to my mom. What a blessing to get to see Miranda whenever I'm in town! Here's Saylor and Aden in the hot tub. And no, Aden doesn't normally swim in an infant floatie device. We had it out for Ranger but Aden thought it was great fun to play in. Nevermind that he exceeded the weight limit by about 10 pounds!
Surprise Surprise, Jonathan is playing NEAR the water but not IN the water. I tried to put him in and he immediately started crying! What a goose!
Ranger and Jonathan had fun splashing in Grandma's fountain though!
Here's Aden and Ranger dukin' it out for the last tidbits off snack. Although no one is really looking at the camera I thought this was a cute shot. I can't believe how big everyone is getting and it's fun to think that in about 6 months they'll be two more little ones to add to the Moore/Sheldon "sofa photo" line-up.
We also went shopping, did yard work (perAden's request), visited the Folsom Zoo, and a few other fun things that I didn't manage to "document" with photos. Overall we had a wonderful time and can't wait for our next visit to Roseville!
Jonathan got this "Imaginarium Wood Stacking Train with Sound and Lights" for Christmas and honestly has played with it every day since! I thought I better post a picture for memory's sake (and perhaps to give you mommies an idea of a good toy for your little ones.)
Yes, that is my sweet Jonathan actually enjoying himself in the pool today! It was quite an exciting day for me. He spent at least a half an hour floating around in this thing and was quite happy the whole time. Perhaps the 95 degree weather made him realize just how much fun a nice dip in the pool can be. Yep...95+ degrees today! Summer is here folks!
This was just moments before the first train blew by.
This is where he spent the remainder of the time. He had a better view of the tracks from the lightpost.
Buckled into a stroller with a toy car to play with...my means of keeping at least one of my children contained (safe) and content while I hammer away at the projects...seeing how these workshops are in the middle of a busy parking lot!
Once the projects were finished Aden quickly declared, "It's not a 'weebarrow' Mommy, it's a 'awn mower!" This kid makes EVERYTHING into a "awn mower!"
Jonathan hammering the directions =)
Later that day Aden and Daddy got to mow the lawn togehter...Aden's FAVORITE weekend activity!
Here's a shot of him from this afternoon. He pulled the lawn mower out of the shed himself and pushed it all around the backyard. Of course it was not on...he was just pretending.

Of course, Aden's favorite dyed egg was the orange one!
Jon Jon wanted to hold all of the eggs. Thank goodness they were hard-boiled! I think he cracked three or four in his excitement!
The boys had fun getting quizzed on their colors by Auntie Stacy. She'd say, "Which one is yellow, etc.?" Jon Jon just learned how to say "purple" and apparently he likes the way it sounds because he declared nearly all the colors "pur-pol!"
Auntie Stacy and Uncle Jakey spent the day with us yesterday. They watched the boys while Daniel and I went to the Ultrasound appointment and then the six of us enjoyed an early Easter dinner together. Fun times!
I love it! He's armed with a gun in one hand and a pacifier in the other!
What a doll!
Mr. Imagination found that the garbage can lid doubles nicely as a "shield."
It's a good thing he had a costume on to cover up (or at least distract you from) that funky nap outfit...an orange, gray, and navy striped shirt with red and royal blue Batman pajama bottoms! Yikes!
