Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour

We spent this dreary afternoon having a blast at the ice cream factory!

Both Chase and Max were among the first ever tasters of "Malt Mansfield" - malt ice cream with chocolate cookies swirled in. Totally delicious.

Some posing as Ben and Jerry before we headed home....

Swim Class

I helped out taking Chase and his classmates swimming this week. It was really fun/funny to watch nine toddlers all going crazy in the pool together. Overall, things were pretty much under-control. I had fun until I started noticing all the snot dripping off the kids faces and into the water. Then, I started gagging and watched from the sidelines for the rest of the time.

Tic Tac Toe

Nana Sue and Papa came to visit. Unfortunately, we did not take that many pics. But, Dave did capture Nana teaching Chase how to play Tic Tac Toe - his new favorite game. And, she did read to him the entire collection of Curious George books (400 pages total - no joke). I'm not sure there has never been a kid as focused C on book-reading...

Spring Swinging

Dave set up the old baby swing in our backyard during the stretch of nice weather. Max is loving to swing in the mornings - and Chase seems to like pushing him.

St. Patty's Day

We had some friends over to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We made a majorly delicious meal but I forgot to take any pictures of the final product.

Faces

I love these little faces!

Portraits

Everyone felt like getting their pictures taken yesterday and even Louie got into the posing.

Max is walking and very happy about it!

More Chase Photography

Chase says, "I took a picture of Max and Mommy and Daddy. You like them."

Whales Tails - Revisited

Yesterday, we enjoyed the day with another visit to Whales Tails.

Celebrating Spring in the Neighborhood

In this neighborhood, when the weather gets nice, everyone comes out of their houses and congregates in the road. We've been throwing sticks for dogs, riding bikes, taking walks and just hanging out with neighbors. Yay for Spring!

Last week, we took a ride with Sammy all the way to the fire department.

Chase's Angle

Here's a self-portrait and a dinner shot by Chase.

We hosted Maeve's birthday party last week. For the babes, the balloons were a huge treat.

The adults liked the food - and morning glory muffins with cream cheese frosting.

And, everyone made wishes. Dave, Maeve and Chase got theirs. Dave sortof cheated cause he went against Max so, of course, he was going to win.

Happy Birthday Maeve!

True Love

Max's love, on the other hand, is not a bunch of men but a certain lady. He and Maeve are such besties.
