MARCEL IS POTTY TRAINING AND ITS TOO HARD FOR ME, LET ME EXPLAIN!!

HE IS MY BABY...THE LAST ONE, AND HE JUST TURNED 2 ..... NOW I KNOW THIS IS A BLESSING AND HE IS DOING REALLY WELL...TOO WELL, INFACT, BECAUSE WE BOUGHT A POTTY CHAIR AND WE PUT IT OUT AND HE PUSHED TO USE IT...THANK GOODNESS ITS SPRING AND HE CAN RUN AROUND NAKED CUZ I CAN'T KEEP A DIAPER OR UNDERWEAR ON HIM ANYMORE. HE LOVES HIS FREEDOM LET ME TELL YOU. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DOWNLOAD PICTURES TO OUR NEW COMPUTER ( THE ONES THAT WOULDN'T ON THE OLD ONE) SO NOW I CAN SHARE WITH YOU, HOW WE SAW THE SNOW DISAPEAR AROUND US

THIS IS A SHOT OF THE RIVER ~DUH~ LIKE YOU CAN'T SEE THAT...

ANOTHER SHOT CLOSER TO THE SIDE

THIS WAS COOL TO SEE IN PERSON BUT ALSO A COOL PIC TOO!!!

EVERYTHING DIED UNDER THE SNOW, BUT NOW ITS TURNING GREEN AGAIN FROM ALL THE RAIN AND SUNSHINE!!!

LATER THAT DAY

WE WENT TO THE COMMISARY AND YOU CAN SEE BY THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES HOW THEY FELT ABOUT THAT!!!

SO....WHILE WE WERE GOING ON ABOUT OUR DAILY ROUTINES....
THIS IS WHAT DADDY WAS DOING....

BEING A SOLDIER

HE IS THE 2nd GUY FROM THE LEFT
AND THIS IS WHAT HE WILL BE DOING IN AFGANISTAN... THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT AP HILL IN VIRGINIA WHILE THEY WERE TRAINING...NEAT HUH!!!!

I MEAN THAT THEY GOT A PICTURE, NOT THAT THIS IS HIS JOB, THAT SCARES ME.

THE SECOND WEEKEND MARK WAS HOME IT WAS SOOO WARM

LITERALLY....

IT WAS IN THE UPPER 40'S AND LOWER 50'S

AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

THE NIGHT BEFORE WE CAME TO THE ZOO WE HAD GONE OUT TO DINNER AND THEN SET OUT TO FIND THE ZOO ....

WE HIT THE JACKPOT

THE ZOO IS RIGHT NEXT TO A HUGE HILLTOP PARK, ITS OUR EQUIVILANT TO GRIFFITH PARK AND LIKE THE OLD ZOO, SINCE THIS ZOO IS REALLY SMALL.

SO WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE KIDS THE NEXT DAY...

PERFECT WEATHER, CLEAR SKIES, AND WE HAD A PICNIC...

WELL WE PUSHED OUR LUCK, WE THOUGHT WOW LETS BBQ TOMORROW!!

THAT SUNDAY IT POURED...BUT WE STILL BBQ'ED WITH OUR OLD NEIGHBORS CHRIS & ERICA AND THEIR KIDS

OH WELL...APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS
