Catching Up!

Seems like we are always trying to catch up!  But that is okay.  We haven't been too good about taking photos these days, so hopefully that improves!

Cole and Noah have been busy this winter and early spring with soccer lessons during the week and finding ways to torment each other when they are in the same space, as good brothers do.  They do get along pretty well for toddler boys under the same roof, but there is the regular spat over toys, tools, and the occasional smashing of eachother's magnetile houses.

We headed to Suncadia a couple of times in January / February.  Found this heard of 40 elk in the backyard one winter afternoon!

Getting ready to go for a ride in the car (box).

Daddy teaching the boys manhood at an early age.  Baking.

Noah and mama doing some belly comparisons

Noah the shaggy bear.  He was rocking a great mullet for a while, but mama finally gave in and took him to the barber before his 2nd birthday.

"Take a picture of me!"

Easter egg hunt with friends from the neighborhood.  There were about 20 children, so the take was slim for the Hadley boys.  Especially after dad got to pick through the baskets.

Not a lot great egg hiding spots in this field

Cade was very helpful routing Noah on.

Cole trying to find the very last egg

Noah, as it turns out, is not the best at mowing lawns.  Give it another year though...

We have been spending a lot of weekends at Seattle Gymnastics where the boys get to run, jump, bounce and tumble.  It is a great place to get some energy out.

Here's Noah getting ready to run down the trampoline

And he's off!

And pancaked...

Cole is busy getting some air on the trampoline

And straddling the bars

And walking on the balance beam!

In other news, Cole and Noah are now roomies!  Cole's room has been turned into a sleeping porch.  With this comes a whole new set of challenges.  But they are loving sleeping in the same room... most of the time.

Here's one of Cole's magnetile towers.  He's become quite the hotel and restaurant constructor!

And being too cool for school, as usual.
