My Little Hero

Another thing at the Marble Museum was a bunch of pretend costumes and vehicles. Here, Eli is saving a baby and when he was done, he made Nae-Nae hold them. (Seen Above)  Riley is sitting in a car just her size and a boat, happy as a lark.

Tool Time

They had a section at the Marble Museum that had real tools and wood that they could saw, sand, nail, or screw into.  Fortunately, they didn't have power tools, but they did have a crank screw driver.  With Daddy's help, Eli was able to saw some wood and sand it.

Difference Between Boys and Girls

Our family had the opportunity to go to North Carolina and visit my aunt Nae-Nae (Gena) and her children Reed (and Brooke) and Katie.  While there, we took Nae-Nae and visited a children's museum called Marbles. They had all sorts of fun stuff there in which the next few posts will detail.  While Eli was playing Hockey on the non-ice floor, Riley was wearing a Tu-tu and ballet slippers dancing to different music genres.  She was a little small for the Tu-tus and she had to hold on to them to keep it from falling off. 

Crocodiles

All day, Riley has been scared of crocodiles. She will come into the room and start yelling at them.  "Don't eat me!"  She wants to be held all the time to be protected from the crocodile. 
This evening at dinner, she volunteered to say the prayer and in the prayer, she asked the Lord to keep the crocodiles from eating her.  "Bless the crocodiles not eat me."

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from the Koyle's!  Jared is missing because he had to work, but he wishes it too.

Easter Egg Hunt

It is now time for the annual Easter Egg Hunt.  It was really fun because both kids actually understood the point of the event.  It was a particularly cold day, as you can see the boots, coat and for Eli, the gun.

Riley is Not a Baby Anymore

Riley has grown up so much this past week.  She has been potty training and it has been unreal.  We got her a pink potty chair that plays music when she pees and she has pretty much potty trained herself, with very few accidents.  She also has given up naps and has been down the McDonalds big slide.  She is no longer a baby. 
Another reason she has grown up is in these pictures I painted her nails for the first time. I did it to cover up a bruised fingernail.  She kept thinking she needed a bandaid and I was worried she might get a rash, so we covered it up so she could not think about it.  It was so fun and she held as still as a two year old could.  She loved it and acted dainty and precious.  I love having a girl, even if she does grow up too fast.
