Sometime in the begining of March, Charlie and Adam both got an infection in their eyes. It was pretty much a pain to do drops in their eyes three times a day for ten days. As a reward, they each got a fish at the end of the ten days.
On the way to the pet store, Charlie said," Why can we only get a fish, why can't we just get a dog, or something?" I told him we have to start somewhere.
Charlie named his fish Momo. Adam named his fish Grape the Grape (he really wanted a purple fish, blue had to do).
Charlie and Adam are really starting to have fun together. They play pretty well, and it's fun to hear them pretending together. They're super into imaginary play. 
Cousins are always a highlight at our house! One night in March, we were lucky enough to have Ellie Girl and Baby Kellan!
We have had a really chilly spring, but all it takes is one nice day to go to the zoo.
Charlie is a really cool kid! He is a great artist (above), and he isn't always willing to go to bed. That's why it's so cute when he just zonks out where ever he is. It doesn't happen very often.
For Adam, there are no words...
Another pretty nice day brought another trip to the zoo. This time with friends. 
Papa Dennis is a fixer guy. He loves his garage, and he recently installed a sink. Adam usually gets SO sandy when he's playing in Grandma and Papa's sandbox. Papa suggested that he should just take his bath out in the garage. Adam loved it!!!
It became a party, complete with baby Garrett, and some drilling for Charlie.
And, of course, when all was said and done, Charlie needed a bath too.
Did you know that purple is Adam's favorite color? I thought I would use it in his honor....This is Adam's portrait on the morning of his 3rd birthday. Pretty adorable! Below is a picture of Charlie, that I love. This is how he often looks when Adam has said, or done, something Charlie thinks is funny. He doesn't ever laugh out loud, he just scrunches up his nose and gives a little "heh heh."
Adam requested pancakes for breakfast. They both love to help, but Adam loves to eat the pancake batter. Charlie and I think he's nuts!
Anyone who knows me well knows I enjoy making the boys birthday cakes. About a week before Adam's birthday, I asked the boys what kind of cakes they wanted. When they said batman and cookie monster, I didn't know if I could do it. I did both cakes on the same day because I knew we would be camping on Charlie's birthday. I think they turned out pretty good. Adam had white cake inside, and Charlie's was chocolate. They were happy!
As you can see, although they both enjoyed the cookies, it was Charlie who was really the cookie monster!
We surprised the boys with this little trampoline. It fits two to three little kids at a time, or one bigger kid. Pretty injury proof, and a lot of fun!
If you can look past how dirty their bath water is, these pictures are SO sweet. What a perfect end to Adam's birthday! I'm so thankful that when Adam was born, Charlie got a best friend for life. There's no greater blessing, I'm sure of this.
My life is full.
