This is apparently a typical Easter in Wyoming, hunting eggs in the snow!

I'm having a little trouble with blogger, so I'm hoping that the pictures post...
Ezra is quite the little ladies man these days, which means he wants me to do his hair before school and likes to pose for pictures.

Finally. I'm Back On Line

It seems like forever since I last posted.... We've been getting settled into our new place quite nicely, and life is regaining some sort of routine. It's very busy, but good. The boys are still wild~ Trust me, it will be big news the day they aren't. Ezra is doing great in school, and is talking really well. The latest phrase that cracks me up is, "It's Ezra's turn to drive." Every time we get in the car.... And then I tell him to count till he's sixteen, so he does.
Wyatt is still my sweet Cracker. He's starting to talk quite a bit, Mommy, Ezra, Don't Touch!, Please, Thank You, and Done!!! are a few of his words. He jabbers away like he's giving a public speech most of the time though.
When I'm not quite as sleepy I promise I'll get pictures posted. It'll be soon. You can call and harass me if I don't.

New Digs

So, I've been painting... This is the house I'll be moving into tihs weekend. The gal is letting me paint what I like, even if she stands over my shoulder and tells me she hates it.....

The kitchen was a lovely yellow....

And now it's not!
The living room was a color of blue that reminded me of old man mouthwash...
And now it's not! When I'm done I'll have more pictures, the trim in the living room here is going to be a really dark brown. We'll see how it turns out...
(I do realize I started me sentences with prepositional phrases, and no, I don't intend to change them.)

Knock Out

This afternoon while I was making lunch, I had music on- not unusual. I was throwing stuff in a pan, not really paying close attention to the boys, until it occured to me that Ezra had been spinning in circles and singing for a REALLY long time. I couldn't get his attention, and thought "I'd better get the camera~ he's gotta be really dizzy". Here is what happened.

I had to turn the camera off because I was laughing so hard, not because I had to rush him to the ER. He only cried for about two seconds. Because I was laughing so hard he figured he was ok.

This video cracks me up, pause it when Ezra says "Daddy open it!!!" and check out the look on his little face.

It's a happy birthday for Ezra!!!

I've finally convinced Ezra to watch a little tv with me occasionally. We watched some rodeo the other night, and as a result I was able to get this video!

There are a few deer that come up to the house, which is a little surprising since we live in town. The really amusing part is Ezra. He is standing at the window yelling, "Deer! Come inside deer! It's very cold outside! Come upstairs!"

The boys don' t look anything alike to me these days.... But they're both very cute!

Aww Man.......

This is Wyatt's ''she kissed me!" face. I love it!

ER

I wanted to post about this before, but it didn't seem like a priority...
On the way to Spokane with Beth, we got a little bit lost in Billings, MT in search of Starbucks. We drove around town for probably thirty minutes searching. I even had addresses that I pulled off the internet the night before~ at least part of the trip was planned! We took all the right exits, and were headed in what should have been the right direction. It apparently was not. We found the hospital though. Check out this picture. Not very clear, as it was raining a little bit, and I took it through the windshield... You can see the ER sign, and the arrow, UP THE STAIRS. Gee I hope the person going in doesn't have a broken leg!

First Day Of School!

I've been a little busy, and a little lazy. The combination has resulted in not posting...

So in the last few weeks, Ezra has had some big adventures! He started preschool, and is loving it!

This was on the way to school, saying goodbye to Cracker. He was a little sad that he had to leave his little brother home, but had enough fun to make up for it I think. I was a bad mommy and this is about the extent of the first day of school pictures.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty......

My Grandma recently moved to Spokane to live with my parents after my Grandad passed away. One of the things she brought with her was her kitty. He is a very nice house cat, who I'm sure has never seen small children. The boys aren't mean to animals, nor are they quiet. I took this picture, Wyatt barked, the cat took off and we didn't see it again the rest of the visit. I've been told he came out of hiding shortly after our departure.....

Here are just a few random pictures from our trip.
Wyatt is kinda sweet, and willing to sit on a lap when he's hungry!
The boys had lots of fun playing in the snow....
Wyatt decided that my dad was an alright guy to cuddle with.
He's pretty cute!
Ezra loves this tunnel that their Grandma Jackie got them.

Last Minute.....

I've been a little lackadaisical (yeah, that's the computers spell check!) about posting. We made a trip to Spokane before Christmas. It was in typical Piper fashion last minute and unorganized. My good friend Beth called and said "Hey wanna come home for a visit? Pick me up in Denver in the morning and I'll drive with you!". So I did. It was great to spent time with Beth, I don't get to see her nearly often enough. She was an awesome road trip companion.
The trip from Gillette to denver was rather white, and a little blury!

I don't like this picture of me, but it makes up for the one of Beth below!
To all the grandparents, don't worry, I'm an excellent driver.....
Just ask Beth.

Tis the season, for BOXES! The boys love that the UPS or FEDEX trucks come almost everyday. They know it means new housing!

I think this picture is hilarious. Not really becoming of either one f the boys, but just the same really silly. Ezra thought he was hugging Cracker nicely....
