Fun Fair

We decided to venture out in this beautiful weather today and take the kids to Holly House's 3rd annual Fun Fair. This is a community event to bring awareness to their cause and they do such a good job of providing a fun afternoon. The boys played a few toss games to win some prizes and spent some time in the bouncy house obstacle courses. Brady decided he wanted to get his face painted like a lion, while Connor watched a Martial Arts demonstration. Connor was amazed at their ability to fight like that and was most impressed with the boards and cement block breaking. At the end, the boys tried the Bungee Run where you run as fast as you can to see if you got further than your partner before being sprung back by the bungee. It was fun to watch them and was a fun afternoon outing!

Pile on Mommy....

Love it...Connor curled up with me first, then Claire tugged at my legs until she could join in and then of course, Brady needed to pile on. I'll take it while I can...and while they are still small enough!!

Claire's First Haircut

With the scheduled picture appointment coming up, I decided to have Claire join me at my hair appointment for a quick trim. She doesn't have much hair, but she had some bangs that were starting to fall in her eyes so I had my hair dresser do a quick little trim. The back of her hair was off limits as it is starting to curl up into cute little curls. Claire sat there like a perfect angel....below is a picture of her getting her first hair cut!!

Bike playdate

On a beautiful March afternoon, I took the boys for an afternoon play date with some classmates from school and fellow co-workers kids (6 boys, 1 tomboy)! Brady was the youngest of the group, but was the biggest bully among them talking smack to the other kids.  "My bike may be small, but I bet I can go faster than you"

They started out the afternoon riding bikes in the parking lots and open buildings. There were some occasional breakdowns over hurt feelings and injuries...no surprise there!  At one point, our daredevil kids ventured over to a large parking lot with a 45 degree incline or better. After a few scary "flights" down the hill (mostly from the moms' perspectives), we talked the kids into spending the remainder of the afternoon at the playground. After a fun afternoon of sunshine and fun, we then took the kids for some dinner before parting ways. It turned out to be a great afternoon!!

Connor is in love!!

At Connor's annual eye visit, I was sitting with Connor and Brady in the consultation room waiting for the eye doctor to come in. We talked about their day, school, friends, and more. During the conversation, Connor announced "I'm in love! I know who I am going to marry when I am older!".

We proceeded to discuss who this person was, how she is an older girl at 6 1/2, and how she is so much fun! About a month ago, Connor had announced that he was trying to decide which girl of three was going to be his girlfriend. One of the girls was not making the cut since she left for India for 3 months (and Connor must have moved on). He had then narrowed it down to two remaining choices. We now know who won based on his announcement today!

Later that night, I asked him to tell daddy about her and he proceeded to describe her hair color, hair length, eye color, height, and how they play together at school. Young love....so sweet!!

Date Night

Chris and I managed to score a date night out for Valentine's Day weekend...a free date night at that! We had a kid-free dinner at Biaggi's and then attended the Really Big Show and the Curtain-Call Reception after the show! I had a blast at the silent auction...love spending money for a good cause!

While we were out enjoying time together, the kids had a nice night with Mimi & Papa! Thanks for watching the kids, so we could enjoy an evening out!

Connor's 6 Year Pictures

My baby Connor isn't a baby anymore....Connor turns 6!!

It has been hard to believe that I have a kindergartner and to think that I now I have a 6 year old! Connor has matured into a very smart, curious, creative, intuitive little boy, I mean little man!

Following is a glimpse of Connor's first 6 years! I showed this video to him and he loved it! I thought he was going to cry at the end, but he instead asked me to save the video forever. I teased him that he needed to stop having birthdays...it goes by too fast!

Brotherly Love...

I love the relationship my boys have with each other! They support, love and watch out for each other. They fight, threaten, and tease each other. Sometimes, they back up each other's stories and other times they reveal their version of the truth.

Perfect example of support and then the threat heard tonight....Connor said "I put your dirty clothes away that YOU left in the middle of floor! Now, you owe me a million dollars or else!!"

Sorry....

I know several of my friends and family like to keep up with us through our family website....sorry that I have been a little delinquent. The kids either keep us busy or we stay busy doing things with the kids...we have had a lot of fun lately! I hope to submit some updates from the last few months....not that anyone is really out of the loop if you follow us on facebook! However, this website is a great way for us to memorialize the Seaton Family events also....so keep posted!
