We were visiting grandma and decided that Eli really needed to have his hair cut. We drove to the nearest Great Clips and plopped Eli down in the chair. Sadie was watching very closely while Eli was getting his hair cut. I asked Sadie, "Do you want to get your hair cut?" Sadie replied, "Yes." So that's just what we did. She sat so nice all by herself in her little booster chair, though having a lollipop didn't hurt any either. Here she is before:
Getting the back trimmed up a bit:
Getting Sadie to put her head down:
A little blowdry:
A perfect little bob:
By the way, her hair is still in her face, but she doesn't fuss as much when I comb it. She has some short layers that still need to grow out some. It's pretty cute.
Leaves. The real reason why he wanted the camera "to take pictures of leaves" and there were a lot of them.

I'm going to let her get it out of her system so she's not doing it when she's 18!
She's slimmed down quite a bit don't you think? Anyways, naked horseracing is always fun!
Eli took his first bike trip out in public. He rode on the Olentangy River Trail. It was hard for him to remember to stay on the right side of the yellow line, but he did well! Sadie just waved to every biker that went by. She's such a princess on parade.
Throwing rocks or maybe watching ducks.

I know this picture has nothing to do with spring or summer and it isn't the best photo, but I'm including it so you can have a look at Eli's favorite outfit. Eli's been into picking out his own clothes and this just happens to be his favorite shirt (well, this and his short sleeved tie-dye) and favorite shorts. On this particular day (and today) both the shirt and the shorts happened to be clean at the same time. The only thing this outfit is missing are the green and blue striped socks (or bright red socks that he's wearing today) that he usually wears with it along with his sandals (see trike photo above). He says that he is very "colorful." I can't argue with him there. He is very colorful. :)
Normally, Dennis isn't into monster trucks or cars in general, afterall he thinks my Honda Civic is a good ride, but when you have a two year old who thinks monster trucks are the cats meow, you cough up the $5 and go! And Eli had about the best time a two year old could possibly have. 
Grandpa bought Eli (and Sadie) five new monster trucks and that's about all he plays with. He rolls them over the cars so it looks a lot like this:
The best thing about this picture is that the floor is actually picked up. And look at that book shelf. The books are actually neat and orderly. Eli picked out that outfit too-- all blue! He's really into stripes now, like his mother. The only underwear he'll wear that doesn't have Diego or a car on them has stripes. You should see his new Monster Truck underwear that grandma and grandpa Z. gave him. Have I told you about his new monster truck obsession. I didn't? I'll post about that next! He's officially been white-trashified!!

We found some acorns starting to sprout, puffed spores from mushrooms, found baby mushrooms growing from a log, and discovered this very cool blue beetle. 
An action shot of Eli running. It looks like he's running bases. And it turns out that the kids love picnics just like me. It's going to be a very good summer!
