The've Had Birthdays Shout Hooray!!

My babies are now 2 and 4. I'm not sure I really believe it myself, but it seems to be true. Raia turned 2 on March the 16th. And Evan turned 4 on April 16th. A girl at work asked me what I would do without a baby in the house. In my opinion they are both still babies and will be until they are 12 and 14. So Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and sweet 2 and 4 year olds in the world. I love you both!!!!

Easter Green

Sorry about the late entry, but here are the Easter Pics. I love holidays in which you can dress your kids up and make them look alike. We spent the Easter weekend in Irvine with all the cousins on the Nilsson side. It was a blast. And if that picture of Evan and Raia doesn't make you want to melt there is something wrong with you. I sure do love these kids!!!!

Is It Summer???

You've got to love Bakersfield, swimming mid-March!!!

You Be The Judge

Does all of this go against the
Child Labor Acts
or is it just Ingenious Parenting????

You Be The Judge!!

Welcome to the Family

There was an addition to the Nilsson Family made yesterday.
Like all Nilsson girls she is beautiful and unafordable..........yet IRRESISTIBLE!!!

"Raia Rocks"

So Raia discovered the rock wall not to long ago and decided she should get a turn like all the other kids. I hesitated putting a harness on her and told her to take it to Daddy. I assumed that dad wouldn't let her go. I was wrong!!! The harness tightened up right around her and the following display of pictures tells the whole story.

At first she didn't quite understand what she was supposed to do.......
Do I just hang here and look cute???
Or do I just plain look cute??
Maybe if Dad just shows me what to do I could get the hang of it. . . .



Yeah, that's me more than half way up the wall.
Whatever you do, just don't make me come in for dinner!!!!!

She loved every minute of it, and nearly every day she says, "Climb...wall...high" "Yes Raia you did "climb, wall, high!"

Every Girls Dream

Raia has really taken up cooking.
It is her favorite thing to do.
Most of the time she just wants to taste everything.
So I decided to let her do what EVERY girl wants to do while making brownies.
