Spring Show 2013

It's that time of year again. The one where we hope our kids don't scream on stage and run in to the crowd in to our arms. It's the Spring Show! This year, Tyler's class sang "I can sing a rainbow" and tie-dyed their own shirts for the performance. Then they sang and danced with Mr. Pete for a few songs on stage. They did great! Zac's class were beach babies and the paraded around in the buggy in their bathing suits while Mr. Pete sang and played some Beach Boys music on his guitar. Very cute! It was a successful show for the DePolo kids :)

Tyler is in the back row, first one on the left. Sorry for the shaky video!



Here's Tyler's class and the toddlers singing Wheels On The Bus with Mr. Pete. Tyler is second on the left, he's really in to doing all the actions :) Sorry for the blurry video this time, I obviously need some practice.



And some pictures. The show is at 7pm, so Zac got his binky for this one. He usually only has it for bedtime, but this was too close to bedtime for us to be sure he'd actually sit for the show. He also had a black mark on his head because we were playing outside before we left for the show and he must have touched the chiminea and got black dust from the burnt wood on his forehead. He was rockin it though :)











We went for ice cream afterwards and this was the first time we let Zac hold his own cone and eat it. Then I had to take over at the end. I wish I got better pictures!

Tyler's presents from school for Mother's day



Tyler wanted to watch our wedding video, he was totally in to it.



This is how Dad serves lunch



Kyle in Tyler's bike helmet...how is this kid a teenager already!?



Watching Kyle and Adam play basketball



Adam the random Oregon Ducks fan...he likes the uniforms. Good thing we also root for the Ducks in this house too...we show our east coast love for Melissa's team :)



Tyler graduated from the ENT! The doctor removed his tubes because they were just sitting in his ear canal and not functioning anymore. And he gave Tyler one to take home as a souvenir. No more ENT visits and his ears look good. I can't explain how much these tiny little tubes helped Tyler. It's amazing, he hasn't had an ear infection since they day he got them put in back in March of 2011. So, after his appointment, we went to Dunkin Donuts for a little celebration before we went back to work and school.







The tube is in the top left corner of the baggie.



Let the watermelon eating begin!



When Tyler was little he use to cry when his bananas broke in half. He hasn't done this in a long time, so when he had a minor banana breakdown on this particular sleepy morning I had to capture it to show him when he's 30.



Zac climbs on everything. I mean like anything he can get his hands on he's trying to scale. He tried to climb the garbage can this morning. Funny thing is he's actually good at it. He can climb the ladder on the swing set by himself and he now tries to go up the stairs like us. He hangs on the the bars on the railing and takes the steps one at a time.



And Tyler just chillin...



Juli got a bike. We had a great ride out to valley Forge last weekend. Happy to have another bike riding buddy :)



We went to see Catherine play Lacrosse and Tyler played football with some boys. It was pretty cool to watch him jump in on his first football game :)



I went to grab a blanket to cover up with the other day and I found a surprise Rice Krispie treat tucked away in the blanket



Juliet left Baby Nakie at our house and I had to put her up on the counter to protect her from the DePolo boys...poor baby nakie would've been launched across the room or down the stairs if I wasn't watching out for her. Thankfully, we returned her back to her Mommy Juliet in one piece :)



I got a new pair of rain boots and I finally got to wear them!



Sometimes slinky's get caught on your nose!



Fun in the tub



This is the aftermath of what our bathroom looks like if Zac wakes up before I'm done getting ready for work. He rips through the bathroom like a hurricane and I let him go because it gives me the extra few minutes I need to finish getting ready. I pick my battles, it's only toilet paper and he's making up for the fact that Tyler never did this kind of stuff :)

Cheerio!

The Tizer's are moving to London next week and Barclay is going to stay with his Grandpa in FL for the next year. We've known this for a while, but the time has come where it's actually happening. Karen, Ben, Juliet and Barclay will surely be missed, but we're excited to hear about their new adventure and we're happy it's only lasting for a year :) We've been soaking up our last few minutes of playing outside, having dinner together and enjoying some beers while we huddle in the street and chat as the kids run around and play. Our neighborhood rocks!

Tyler and his BFF getting in some last hugs! Barclay is ever so patient with the kids. He is such a great dog.









We had community bath time the other night. We were all taking a walk around the block and I was pulling Juliet in the wagon. I told her we're going to go home and give Zac a bath now. She kept saying to Dave and I "Me too, Zac bath!". She stood at our door and said "Zac Bath". It was so sweet. So Zac went to Juliet's for bath time that night and a few minutes later, Tyler was walking in to the bathroom saying "Hey guys, is there room for me?". So he hopped in too :)

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year, I asked for a nap, a hike and pizza. I got to take a nap with Tyler, we went for a hike and since we ran out of time we didn't get pizza together, but when the kids went to bed Dave and I ate pizza and wings and wacthed tv...glorious! I had a great day with my guys ♥
