Bike ride on the waterfront

We went to the waterfront and the boys went for a bike ride!  Isaac has been having a hard time keeping up with Brodie on his bike, so we got him a little bigger bike with a handle on the back, so we could push him.  It didn't work as well as we planned.  His feet hardly touch the ground and he gets very angry when someone tries to push the bike, so he ends up going slower than previously.  Unfortunately he also like this bike better because he thinks it looks like a motorcycle. 
I can't believe how nice it has been outside!  We were wearing shorts in March in Vermont!

Ready to ride!

Getting already for the first ride

I will miss this view...but am more excited to be closer to family!

St Patrick's Day

We had a great green day yesterday!  We had green pancakes for breakfast, green bread and corned beef and cabbage for supper.  We also we also enjoyed the beautiful day.  Brodie went on a long bike ride and Isaac was in the stroller.  Brodie wasn't sure he liked the long bike ride by the end.  His legs were tired! 

Daddy can't get the green pancakes buttered fast enough

Yummy!

Isaac wasn't sure what to think of the green bread

Spring Fever!

We've had some warm days and the boys have been out on their bikes nearly everyday!  It is so great to be able to play outside!

Ready to ride!

Isaac just had to check out the tractor.

Moving back to the midwest!

It is official!  We will now be able to eat fresh runzas instead of the homemade version.  We will be moving to a town near you in July!

Stir crazy!

Abel had another late night at work tonight.  The boys had fun running around the house.  I am so ready for spring! 

A fun game of chase

Brodie's slowing down...

Our experiment with vinegar and baking soda

Isaac wasn't too sure about the fizzing noise.

Quick trip to Iowa City

We made a quick trip to Iowa City last weekend for a second look for Abel for a potential job and a first look for the boys and I.  Aunt Jodi, Emma, and Ellie came to visit and we had a fantastic time with them!  We missed the best snow of the year in Burlington, but hopefully we will have some time to play in it tomorrow!  We should hopefully be making a final decision about where we will be moving sometime next week. 
Here are some pictures of the boys being silly last night waiting for Daddy to get home from work.

My boys

Abel was on his way back from Nebraska earlier today, so the boys and I were on our own.  We had a fun day, but we were definitely missing Daddy by the end of it!  I felt like I was constantly yelling at the boys by the end of the day and I'm sure they were thinking the same thing.  We went to the ECHO center and watched some cute baby turtles eat, we played out in some puddles, we made homemade goldfish (they were awesome - I even liked them), and I made some homemade chocolate syrup (I wish I had some ice cream to put it on, but the chocolate milk will have to do for now).  All in all, it was a productive, fun day!

We had to make red goldfish for Isaac

and blue goldfish for Brodie.  Brodie was very good at making the fish

the red and blue got mixed by the end :)

The first batch out of the oven

They were very yummy!

My silly boys!
