The Gardening Gatchel's
In an effort to spruce up the house and welcome in spring this weekend, Grant and I (with some help from the kiddos) spent all day Saturday landscaping out front. Florida Family, you will be most happy to know that all the hydrangea bushes are still alive. We trimmed them back and transplanted them to the other side of the house. Hopefully I will be able to continue to nurse them back to health and we will have our lovely bushes full and flowering in a month or so. I don't have any pictures of the finished product (we were short one bag of mulch so I guess it's not completely finished yet) but there are of course pictures of the kiddos :)

Cranky Noah and a Rollie Pollie Ollie
We've had another full couple of days around here. The kiddos (like usual) are non-stop. Noah was a bit of a handful yesterday (as the pictures will show) and Mikayla picked yesterday to roll over from her tummy to her back (she had already managed her back to her tummy) Grant says she is doing 360's :) She's officially ahead of her brother on this one as he couldn't go in both directions until he was over four months old. Now if only she's start to put on some weight like her brother did... ;-) But she is a very very happy baby, gurgling, cooing and smiling all the time. We've even had some genuine laughter and giggles the past couple of days which makes me happier than almost any other noise in the entire world. Just thought I'd share a few of the pictures I had - hopefully they will make you smile as much as I did while I was taking them. More soon...

Noah and the Bubbles
Today has been momentous in the Gatchel household. Mikayla (finally) slept through the night last night! She was down for almost eight hours! And while she did wake up a few times in need of her binky, she went right back to sleep. I was able to sleep until 7 this morning before getting her up for some cereal and her feeding. After feeding Mikayla I was able to get my work-out and a shower in before going and getting Noah up. I noticed that he was a little wet and decided to quickly throw him in the bathtub before I got him dressed so he didn't have to be the smelly kid all day. (I'm such a good mom ;-) ) While in the tub, he told me he had to poo-poo. I asked him if he wanted to use the big boy potty, he said yes, and it was as easy as that :) My little boy successfully tackled the potty this morning!! As a reward for the first time, Grant and I took him to Target tonight where he was able to pick out a small toy (it's an M&M reward from here on out). He picked out a really neat bubble set (yay for toys that we can use outside, especially since the fence will be up soon!) and we came out and got to try it out. I've included pictures of him chasing bubbles and a video, too. I know updates have been a little lacking lately, but there have been three today so I hope that makes up for it at least a little. More soon!
