Nursery Rhymes

 My mom gave William a book of nursery rhymes for Easter and we have frequently read them as bed time stories. He seems to love the rhythm and simple patterns of this kind of verse. One day I found William holding the book and to my surprise he was "reading" each poem on his own! Here is a small sampling of two nursery rhymes. Unfortunately I only thought to take out my camera part way through the performance. Notice how he even does some ad-libing (sp?) on the last one.

Mom's birthday.


 

New Sandbox!


On Saturday Chris's dad built a small sandbox in our front yard. William was thrilled!

Mom's 65th birthday party





Today we celebrated Mom's birthday with the Vic Isaak Family. Mom and I spent the afternoon making pizzas. When the people at work found out that I was making pizza from scratch they couldn't believe it! They asked me why I didn't just buy them. I said, "You don't know my family!" Anyway the work payed off and the supper was very tasty. We had chocolate cupcakes for dessert, as you can see Nate and Will were very happy to help with the blowing of the candles. After supper we went for a walk around the campus. The boys enjoyed playing on the local "hill." It's amazing how running up and down a slope can be so entertaining to a toddler. We ended off the evening by taking a spin in Mom's new RAV4. Fun times.
