April Turned 3!

She had a wonderful birthday weekend - if her face in these pictures doesn't prove it already :)


Blowing out the candles on her cake on the 25th:





The 26th was her "Party Day".  We had some fruit supplied by a certain Aunt and Uncle:



More cake!


Opening presents.  I was sitting beside April and her reaction to each gift was great.  She'd quietly whisper "wow" or "like Chloe's" ...Everything was loved immediately. 







This picture shows Chloe's reaction to most of the gifts.  Up, out of her seat, checking out the gift.  In this picture, she's "taking care of" April's new babydoll while seeing the new Strawberry Shortcake house.



The rest of the day was spent outside enjoying the sunshine.  Of course, the new barbies came along!


Mawna made her a violet-chain bracelet...


Before dinner we took our kite to the local football field....this girl did about 4 laps, 2 of them skipping, while wearing sandals.  Nothing like being three!

We enjoyed having Pop and Mimi, Kevin's parents, brother, and sister-in-law stay with us for the birthday weekend.  She's been playing non-stop with all her new things! Three is a fun year - Let's see how much she'll grow and change!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
