Spring in Connecticut


It turns out that spring weather in New England is almost as unpredictable as spring in Montana. We had a lot of rain, some snow, and now it's 75 degrees. With all of the rain we were getting a little bit of cabin fever so we got some bouncy horses to hop on. Brigham named his Red-ie and Benson's is Freddie. They have provided hours of entertainment.
Brig participated in a six week gymnastics class. He is a natural gymnast, but oh, it was hard for him to stand still in line and wait his turn. We survived though.
The boys were super excited to watch General Conference at home. I had to take a picture of them while they sat in their chairs for a few minutes. 
Brig is my handsome cowboy and wears his boots everywhere he goes.
Easter was fun this year with an egg hunt with our play group and dinner at our house with friends. The boys practiced hunting eggs at home weeks beforehand and were surprised to find actual candy in the eggs during the real hunt.
Benson still loves playing with his toy animals. He likes to line them up and count them multiple times a day. 
I got to be a "mystery reader" at Brig's preschool. He was so excited to show me off to everyone.
The boys and I took turns getting ear infections. Benson twice in the same month. Here he is enjoying playing at the park after a round of antibiotics.
Benson has decided he wants to be a BIG boy and is using the potty chair. It was his idea and he has been doing great!
Have I said how much I love our local YMCA? We all tried rock climbing and Brig made it 2/3 of the way up the wall. I was surprised because he is a little afraid of heights.
I received lots of valentines in February. My favorite one says, "Mom, you are so big and strong and I like you. -Brig."

The boys were playing with stamps one day and got into a fight over the letter "e". Guess who won?
Brig often fills up my phone with silly pictures like these.
