Early Mother's Day Gifts

I came home the other day from work and Rick and Will were outside playing and Rick whispered something to Will for him to tell me and so he did... all I could get out of the conversation because Will was so excited was BIRD! :) So....Rick, myself, Will and our neighbors, Allison and Jackson headed to the backyard and Rick showed me what was my early Mother's Day gift - a birdhouse (I've been asking for one for years)! I absolutely love it and hope that we'll actually get some birds, especially with having Hawker in the backyard. Here are pictures of it:







We also went to the store yesterday and got an arbor - this is actually something that both Rick and I have been wanting for a while. We bought some Wisteria that we put on the sides of the arbor and were hoping that they'll start growing real well and look good with the arbor. Here are pictures of the arbor:

The Many Faces of Will

Will has been getting himself into some trouble lately for not listening and while he was sitting in "time out" tonight for once again not listening I took some pictures and the pictures obviously show everything - the many different faces of Will....

Will and his new wheelbarrow

We went out shopping for new landscaping bricks for the yard today - Rick's decided to make some changes! :) While we were out today we ended up buying Will a wheelbarrow of his own along with some plants and an arbor (which looks wonderful)! The wheelbarrow is just like his daddy's but obviously smaller and it's red! Will "helped" Rick put it together and then started to "work" once the job was done! :) He loved it so much!

Glenn Cairn Gardens and Come-See-Me (April 20, 2008)

Come-See-Me used to be something that we did every year growing up as kids so we all decided to try it out with our own children this year! We headed to Glenn Cairn Gardens first and got some yummy ice cream and Will got to take his picture with Diego - he was SOOOOO excited about this! This just made his day! The Gardens were gorgeous as always and Will and Emma enjoyed playing with the water fountain there also! We then headed over to Cherry Park where Gourmet Gardens was taking place and they have all kinds of yummy foods there - we went there for the funnel cakes! :) I also got a corn dog that was delicious and Ben got a gyro. Will and Emma both had their first experience with funnel cake and cotton candy and they of course, loved this! Were not too sure what to think of the cotton candy at first but definitely knew what to do with the funnel cake! After this we went to where all of the activities were - there were bounce houses and all kinds of fun activities! Will chose to play on the bounce house shaped like a fire truck and he had a blast as he always does on these things! :) We all hated to leave because we were having such a wonderful time but Will and I needed to get back to my parents to pack up and head back home to start another week!

Here's a slide show of all the fun stuff that we did today:

Here's also a separated picture of Will with Diego:

Macy Kiser Magyar

So Rick's cousin, Macy Kiser Magyar, was finally born on Monday, April 7, 2008 at 8:50 pm and was 6 lbs. 10 oz and 19 3/4 inches long and is absolutely adorable!!! Didn't get to hold her yet but did finally meet her last night - way too many people visiting last night to take a turn with the little one - we'll just have to make a visit to her home one of these days and take her mommy and daddy food and play with her then! :) Amanda is doing very well - tired and sore - as to be expected, Macy's great, and Gary is doing very well too - all just trying to get used to the new life of theirs that has begun!!! :) Here are pictures I took last night of the visit at the hospital:
