Bibbity bobbity boo!

My little princess turned 4 last month & can't believe it!  She is such a fun, sweet little girl.   There are so many things I love about her.  She loves pink, princesses, always wears a tiara, dances and sings all day long and makes me laugh all the time.

She had a party for her birthday this year - with a big surprise!  When all the girls came, they were greeted with crowns and wands.  They kept running around the house saying, "Bibbity bobbity boo."  So we rounded them up and had them say it together by the front door & guess who walked in the house - Cinderella!  Their magic wands had brought her to our house!  I wish I had gotten a good picture of their faces, but I was having so much fun watching I missed the moment.  

Cinderella was so much fun to have at the party.   We are so glad she came!  

Cinderella walked through the door and met the birthday girl!
She painted all of the girls faces...

She played games and did magic tricks...
She stayed for princess cupcakes and the presents...
She even taught them how to dance!

My little princess was one happy girl!

What so funny is that this is actually the best picture of everyone together.  I took about 10 of them and have come to realize 4 year olds are impossible!  I was frustrated, but now it makes me laugh.  You can tell my daughter is trained to look at the camera!  

It was so much fun watching all the girls interact with Cinderella.  They were smitten. We caught our princess the next morning at the door, saying the magic words trying to get her to come back!

Their favorite hunt...

Every year my mom does an elaborate Easter egg hunt in her backyard.  She makes it really fun for the kids - she color codes the eggs to match all the presents she buys for them.  She literally stocks up on stuff all year long for this hunt!  Well, the kids love it.  This year was a blast and the kids walked away with a bag full of goodies.  Thanks grandma for such an amazing tradition!Here are all the kiddos - minus Olivia this year, we really missed her!
And she's off!
Taking a little break...
Counting...actually she is looking for the eggs that had cash in them!

Hello

Okay, I know its been a long time. The thing is, I got behind. I had a list of things that I needed to blog about & then before I knew it the list grew longer and longer. It made me tired. So, I just didn't do it. I really did want to, I was just a little lazy. I had a million other commitments that were screaming at me.

I had a great spring break doing exactly what I wanted.   My time was spent resting, playing, bike riding, reading, rock band playing, movie watching, egg hunting, cuddling, dancing, laughing and eating - it was the best. A whole week with no school, preschool, jazz class, ballet, baseball, or tap classes. Wow, I really needed it. Now I can get back to the routine with a little more energy. And I am tired of people getting mad at me, so I guess I can blog too. :-)

Here is a little of what has been going on around here the last couple of months...with pictures, of course.


Miss S turned 10. Really, 10. I cant believe it. She is such a great girl. She has the best heart and is always trying to make the right decision. She cares about others so much and is constantly trying to make those around her happy. She is so smart too! I am so proud of her.




We have a seriously cute face around this house. It started off looking like this one - snaggle tooth and all.


And then turned into this toothless smile. Although, not for long. The big ones are already on their way & let me tell you they are BIG (I saw his x-ray!) It makes me a little sad. I love his baby face, and it is gone. I wish I could freeze time and keep him like this. He always has a twinkle in his eyes. He is a happy, cute and sweet little boy. I love him.


My little miss H started ballet classes and she loves it! This picture makes me smile because it is just her. It gives you a glimpse of her personality. She is constantly singing, dancing and skipping. Skipping down the hall, skipping down the street, skipping in the store...little curls bouncing. She is just a happy little girl & she makes me happy.



I had two kids with some CRAZY hair! This is always our favorite spirit day!



Someone was a little too tired. She had a rough day and fell asleep on time-out. Poor, cute baby.


Mr. T went right from playing basketball with his favorite coach ever - dad (which he absolutely loves!!)

Swish!!

To playing baseball, which he loves too. He is great this year! He has made probably 90 percent of the plays for his team and is really doing well. We have noticed a huge difference in him this last year with sports. He has such confidence and isn't afraid to be aggressive. I have such fun watching him!




Miss S got to get all dressed up and go out with her favorite date, dad. They attended the daddy daughter dance at the school. It was an amazing event put together for the girls and their dads. They danced the night away & even won the prize for the limbo. I would have loved to have watched that!




It is just too cute.

Snow Day

While we were in Reno, we decided to take a trip up the mountain and play in the snow. Grandma and Grandpa met us there for all the fun. We found a great place to take the sleds down some hills. The kids were in heaven. We all had a blast going down the tubes - even the 3 year olds loved it. And Miss S got some help snowboarding from Angie on her own board!

We were exhausted by the time we were done!

New Years in Reno

We decided to head over to Reno to spend New Year's with my sister and her family. We stayed up eating and playing games ( the new version of the game "Life" stinks! ) until the ball dropped. I am so glad we were able to go. I love spending New Year's in our jammies with family.




All the kiddo's New Year's Eve.



Getting ready to toast the New Year.



Miss H at midnight!



They are big enough to stay up now!



Angie and Brock on New Year's Eve.



Me and Pete, Happy New Year's!
