Happy Birthday to SWBy!!!

SWBy turned 2 last month!!! The time has gone by so quickly! He is such a fun little boy! It amazes me how fast little ones learn! They are like little sponges, absorbing everything. SWBy has already learned the art of teasing his sister and he does it well. He loves to tease her and yet he wants to be doing whatever she is doing. He just follows her around and then in the right moment will take her toy and wait, with a huge grin on his face, for her reaction and for her to start chasing him. We're still trying to teach Bailey how to react to someone teasing her. My mom came up for SWBy's birthday this year and apparently I didn't capture all the birthday memories I should have because I don't have pictures of my mom and SWBy. Above, SWBy is opening a few presents on his actual birthday. Spencer's dad and sister happened to be up here to celebrate SWBy's birthday with us as well. Above is SWBy with his cousins at his birthday party, very excited to open presents. I'm not sure who was more excited SWBy or the cousins.
It may be a bit premature, but we got SWBy a bike for his birthday. He is always climbing on Bay's and really wants to ride it so we got him his own and are hoping this summer he'll be able to start riding it. Of course we need to wait until it warms up and we stop getting snow and rain storms. This is the time of year I really miss Arizona!!!

I thought SWBy's cake turned out pretty cute. Of course it would; there's a picture of SWBy on it!!!
On SWBy's birthday weekend we took Bay snow skiing for the first time!!! She loved it!!! We didn't have the best weather or the day I had hoped to have but it turned out to be a pretty fun day for Bay. She was put in a private lesson and my poor mom sat in the car with SWBy because the weather was bothering him. Spencer and I skied a little bit while Bay was in her lesson. She did great! Spencer and I were a little rusty on the skiing, it had been 10 years since I last skied and 15 or so for Spencer. Above: Bay and dad sleeping after a full day of skiing. Thanks mom for a fun weekend! (Of course I didn't get any pictures of Bay skiing because I didn't bring my camera. I was not very good at taking pictures this weekend!)
The picture above cracks me up! I was trying to get a picture of the 2 of them together and Bay, the nice sister she is, was trying to help keep SWBy in the picture! This was St. Patrick's Day! We went to Bay's preschool party and it was fantastic! We had Reuben Sandwiches! They were so good! (Apparently it was all about the food for me! :o))The kids has a great time! Lots of games and finding treasures!
Here the kids are in their Easter clothes. I love Children's Place! I thought the kids looked so cute in their matching clothing!
Apparently Bailey came up with a few poses for dad to take pictures of them. This is the sitting pose!
My dad, and Step-mom, and sister came up the week before Easter! We had a fantastic time with them and it was so good to see them! Apparently March wasn't a great month for me to take pictures because I didn't get any pictures with them! They took Bay skiing and said she did great! I decided to stay home with SWBy that day so we didn't have to have another episode of someone sitting in the car with him! Thanks guys for taking Bay skiing and for a fun week!!!
