The Easter Fun Continues....

Yummm.......Easter cookies! We hope the kids had as much fun as us moms watching them!

Kelley's 3rd Annual Easter Party

Kids, kids and more kids! We celebrated another great Easter with about 30 kids from our neighborhood! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but highlights of the party were confetti eggs, suncatchers and, of course, the egg hunt itself! More pics on next post.....

Babysitting...

So, Aidan, our six-year old, was playing with her babies today and our conversation went something like this...

• Aidan: "Mom, will you babysit my babies for me?"
• Me: "Sure honey. Bring them over here. Have fun shopping!"
• Aidan: "I'm not going shopping, I'm going to work. Here's their stroller and the time-out chair."
• Me: "Oh, I won't need the time out chair because they're angels."

Later.......

• Me: "Aidan will you take your babies upstairs please?"
• Aidan: "Yes, and you didn't even babysit them!"
• Me: "Yes I did. I watched them for hours and they were complete angels!"
• Aidan: "No, you didn't! Babysitting means that you look after them!"

LOL! Where does she get this stuff?!

Three, Two, One!

Go! Fill up your baskets! The kids had a great time at the annual Unity Park Easter Egg Hunt! It still amazes me how fast all the kids grab up the eggs! I think their baskets were full in a mere 60 seconds or less!!

New Toy...

Happy Birthday! No, my birthday isn't until June, but since Payson learned how to ride a bike I was joking with Jonathan about buying me a bike for my birthday so we could ride together. Well, they surprised me today with an early birthday gift! Is my husband the best, or what?! I can't wait to get out on the trails!

Payson's Glory Day...

It's all you! I can't count how many times I said that as Payson gradually was able to ride for longer and longer periods of time until this afternoon when it actually WAS all her! It only took 3 days over Spring Break and now we can't keep her off of her bike! LOL!

Feeling lucky today?

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! Are you wearing your green today?

Who was Sacajawea?

Sacajawea: Guide to Lewis and Clark....Payson's second grade class made paper dolls at school and had to choose an American, historical figure to report on and create their character out of the paper doll. We had fun creating Sacajawea and Payson did a FANTASTIC job of informing us about her during her presentation. Three important things that Sacajawea did: interpreted for Lewis and Clark with the Shoshone Indians; found healthy vegetables, roots and berries for the expedition to eat; and rescued supplies from an overturned boat. Great eye-contact and elaboration Payson! We're so proud of you! We went to open house at the school last night and it was so much fun to see all the characters that the kids created! They ALL did an excellent job!

Ladies and Gentlemen......

"Okay, everyone turn off your cameras and your cell phones!" LOL! Do you think Aidan has been to the theatre a few times? She had Jonathan and I in stitches when she yelled out that phrase right before she put on a puppet show for us! She's so cute...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIDAN!!!

We celebrated Aidan's 6th birthday today at Peter Piper Pizza!! She was soooo excited to go there because we hadn't been there for a long, long time. She and her friends enjoyed pizza, Hannah Montana cake and games galore!! Of course, the game favorite is always the mechanical crane that grabs candy! Sugar, sugar, sugar........yummm!

Aidan had LOTS of fun at her party with all of her friends! "Thanks everyone for making me feel so special!!!" :-)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

"I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day... When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon."

Valentine Fun...

Rolling out the dough and pressing hearts is hard work! Zane is getting ready for his preschool valentine party tomorrow. All his friends are getting a playdoh heart made "from the heart" by Zane. Both the girls loved making these when they were in preschool, too, but this year they're sharing Fun Dip! Hooray - Valentine's Parties tomorrow!!
