it was... a happy easter!

his 2nd haircut started well...

happy easter!

he looks so big to me

rainy & sunny friday

At the library, the first thing he does when we go to the children's area is pick up the (computer) mouse. He usually carries it all over the place. :) Today he was too distracted by what the 'big boys' were doing and forgot about the mouse.

eating and watching

Kaemon Ze is eating so well with his utensils! Here he is watching one of the many buses that stop in front of our house. :)

play date with finn

Finn and Kaemon Ze have been getting together once a week for the past three weeks. It's been GREAT to watch their interactions (and guide them a bit, "share, please"). This is the only shot that I got of these two hot-rodders that wasn't blury. :)

watching school buses

rain garden

Jason and I staked out an outline for our rain garden and surrounding paths. Eventually this spring we will rent a sod-cutter and remove all the grass in the front and build raised garden boxes. In this spot, pictured above and below, I'm planning to put a rain garden. Looks like a good choice for one, eh? The above shot is from when we woke up.

This is how it looked as we were leaving about 30-40 minutes later!

Our boy, all dressed to go to Gramma's for the day. :)

moon shark, the goat

being really silly

i crack myself up

I had a thought that Kaemon Ze's curly hair is probably long enough to put into a pony-tail... so I tried it this morning while daddy was outside warming up his car for his morning commute to take Kaemon Ze to gramma's. It totally matched daddy's pony-tail! Daddy and his "mini-me!" Too funny. Gramma said he looked like a little hippy. haha

spring beauties

Practicing siphoning gas?

Jason pointed out that the baby hemlock cones were lavender;
we'd never noticed that before. Pretty!

Bamboo Jason harvested to build & grow our
"bean teepees" this year. Yea!

Kaemon Ze picked up the pot he has out in the
raised vegetable beds and said, "dirt" and then wiped off his hands.
I'm looking for a place that sells garden gloves
that are his size. :)

it's not quite the jelly sandwich in the vcr...

While it's not quite the well-known incident of the
peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the VCR...

...it's a close second!

Our very own "K-zilla" found a place to put one of daddy's practice golf balls.

Luckily daddy was able to get it out easily with a wire.

making associations

Kaemon Ze and I were looking out the front window, waiting for daddy to be ready to go outside with us. Kaemon Ze spotted the bucket he put on our "temporary covers" (this is one of two places where we dug out a rose trellis). He said, "ucket!" I said, "Yes! That's right! 'Bucket'!"

Then he took off and brought back a book that Waz n Bob gave him. He flipped through the pages and found what he was looking for: a picture of a bucket. He looked at me and said, "ucket!" and then he stood up and pointed to the bucket outside and said, "ucket!" I praised him up and down for making the association. :)

"ucket!"

"ucket!"

Then he treated me to some funny faces I don't often see.

Funny guy.

Once outside, he found some flowers.
Here he's attempting to fix a flower he broke. K-zilla strikes again!

early morning, busy boy

When Mr. Early Riser didn't fall asleep for his nap this morning, we went outside to take a look around and see what fun there was to be had. Kaemon Ze is borrowing the big blue ball from our neighbor. He's had it all over: in the side yard; on the deck; under the tree house; and in the garden (pictured). I was transplanting plants and bulbs; Kaemon Ze worked on transplanting balls. :)

kaemon ze loves the babies!

Have you seen the trailer for "Babies" - a movie about four babies born in different places in the world, followed for a year by videographers? It looks wonderful! Kaemon Ze loves to watch it. Last night he talked me into replaying it six times!

Here's the link to the actual trailer. I think it's scheduled to be released in April 2010. Yea!

what does mama say when she sneezes?

Kaemon Ze's been hearing me sneeze a lot lately, thanks to our early spring. I've been asking him, "what does mama say when she sneezes?" and finally got it on video. The one above is me asking him with his mouth full (heh!) and the one below is when he doesn't have a full mouth. :)

playtime in the park

lions are cool but phones & buttons are cooler!

Part One and Part Two. :)

first time at the zoo!

another first

Kaemon Ze experiences his first video game with Daddy. :)
