We recently saw a little boy at the park playing baseball with his Daddy. Alex has wanted to play ever since. Today we finally got out his baseball and bat.

Teague wanted to play soccer just like Daddy.
“It’s 15 pounds”
A little family reading.
Dinner prayers.
I was fixing lunch and Teague needed entertaining. Here Alex is pointing out and naming the cars/trucks/vehicles in the Truck Book.
Today we remembered helmets.
Example of a well fitting helmet.
“I’m just checking to make sure Gram’s in there.”
Teague was so excited about his new car sheets he didn’t want to get out of bed.
Alex spends at least part of every day playing Rescue Bots – thank you Easter Bunny for bringing Heatwave. It’s his favorite!
Teague’s first popsicle. He had more fun playing with it than eating it.
Alex has wanted to sleep in our bed for months and months and kept waiting for me to take a trip so he could sleep with Daddy. (I think at some point he realized this wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.) Then he realized he could sleep in our bed with Gram!
Sharing a snack with Mumby.
Chocolate bunny I think I love you.
Napping on the plane to Boston.
Trunki races!
Reading books..
Puddle jumpers.
“Mumby” – Teague’s companion of choice today.
(Mumby is Teague’s version of Monkey)
The contrast of painted toes (by request) and ripped knees (also by request) is all Alex.
Headshot.
That thing called bedtime.
Just lazing in the bed.
So excited to be allowed in Alex’s bed for the first time.
Guess who found a Sharpie?
The boys were quite happy to stand at the window and yell, “Snow” over and over and over.
Alex only wanted to ride through puddles. Thankfully Teague had enough skill to steer around the puddles and didn’t pick today to copy everything Alex did.
The weather was almost nice so we got the bikes out for a ride.
(Teague did much better once I realized the seat needed to be moved to the tallest setting.)
Diaper changing lesson.
Alex’s “star board” has made life around the Burch house much happier lately. Alex can earn stars for good behavior or lose stars for bad behavior. When he has earned four stars he can have a tv show or play on my iPad. It has improved behavior and stopped the constant asking for TV. Genius!
Yes, Teague is giving his cars a ride in his car.
Wade’s family has quite the “debate” about Peeps. I am happy to report both boys seem to be big fans.

Wade and I brought the boys back some Rock Candy from North Carolina.

It appears that Teague is picking up the “tongue” from Alex.

Bedtime skype with my boys!
Transformers!

Teague has become quite the imitator. Alex plays with transformers so that’s what Teague wants too.

Helping clean for Granny and Pop’s visit.
Pillow attack!
Alex’s 4 year check-up came with two shots. He had a rough time with them (and then also with the fact that Teague had to get shots). He also told me he couldn’t help carry in his bags or raise his arm to take off his shirt tonight. Life is rough.
Today’s 2 year check-up came with four shots. Teague actually did pretty well with it and loved all the different band-aids he got.
