My beautiful singers....

oh what wonderful soloists they are!!!
Matthijs freaks when he sings his favorite song. Its called WAKE UP from the show Lazy Town. I love how he sings this...

And Ezra is addicted to her Barbie Diamond Castle movie that Grampy and Grandma bought for her...she always watches it while holding the matching barbie and pushes the button when the songs come on...here is ezra singing CONNECTED....

don't forget the small camera!!! LOTS OF VIDEOS!

I'm always forgetting our small camera...I usually take it everywhere and although it doesn't compare to my E3 it does a fine job at capturing videos! I love that it fits in my purse!!! So here are a few from December that I meant to share earlier!

Here is Ezra doing the Reindeer polkie with her classmates at the Christmas party!!!


Matthijs using the GT on boxing day...took a little tumble on death hill!!!


And this one is pretty cute...Isla having her first rootbeer float...just the ice cream....

Islas 1st Food...

Oatmeal cereal...she love love LOVED IT! And lucky for you, you get to witness her very first spoonful EVER! Here are TWO videos for you to watch!!! She would've kept eating all night long!

I CAPTURED IT....Yah!!!! Islas belly laugh...it's the greatest, cutest most precious thing ever

I really don't rememeber Ezra or Matthijs laughing this happily at 5 months...who knows though....that was a longggg time ago!!!

Again...laughing at her big sissy!!!

ENJOY!
I could listen to this all night long!!!

Belly laughs from Isla!!

Today is the first day I heard Isla come ot with a full out belly laugh!!! It sounds so little girlish...so sweet and dainty!
I, of course missed the best of them on video...but Matthew seemed to capture some great Isla belly laughs on our actual video camera...I'm not sure how to get that from there to here though!
So this one will have to do!!!

Oh did I forget to mention that shes laughing at her big sis jumping around?!

Sit Ups....and breakdowns!

A sit up from Isla and a breakdown by Matthijs!!! Cute!

Matthijs is riding his 2-Wheeler (with training wheels)!!!

It's official!!! It just "clicked" for him! Just 2 weeks ago I had Matthijs on his two wheeler and he just didn't quite get what he was supposed to do with the peddling...he got it here and there...but not totally!
Anyways he started strictly peddling his pink and purple tricycle in the last week or two so Matthew tried him on the big bike yesterday. He did amazing! I loved it and just didn't want to stop! He's going like mad, a little speed demon!! Anyways...here are some pictures of last night on his bike and then a video from this evening on his bike...with 4 very special SHOUT OUTS!!!
We're so proud of you Matthijs...what a BIG BOY you are getting to be!



Please excuse his snotty, dirty face....he's quite happy regardless!!!

Our 100th post!!!

Here we are at our 100th post...that first post was Oct.1.2006! Ezra was 2 1/2 yrs old and Matthijs was 6 months old. I didn't post much at all then and hardly any pictures on the blog then either. It was so new and I didn't really have the patience to figure it all out! Anyways...I'm into it now, can ya tell?
Actually 80 of those 100 posts we just posted THIS YEAR! So even though I started this blog almost 2 years ago....80% of the posts were in the last 8 months...crazy!
Thanks for sticking with us and following our posts this far!!!

just being happy....

A little video of Isla at 11.5 weeks old!!! (if I say it in weeks...she sounds younger, and that makes me feel better!!!) But sadly...shes growing up way too fast!!!
Isn't she full of beauty...my beauty full girl!!!

p.s. you'll have to PAUSE the music playing when you scroll down, that way you can hear the video!!!

Smiles & Puke

Well one more video from yesterday...Isla is so pretty, especially when she smiles! Why not follow it up with a good ol' spit up!!!!!!

Jesus, Jesus, JESUS!!!!!!

This is how my happy go lucky guy prays when he's being silly with his sister and when he just wants to make mommy and daddy laugh like crazy!!!!! He's so sweet! Love you Matthijs xoxo
