Bike Park

About 3 blocks from our house is an awesome bike park. Since Cash decided training wheels weren't his thing, he stepped his game up and he rides all the way around the course. I think he fell 4 times the first day he tried it, but he kept on trying. I'm not sure if he's fallen since. He LOVES it, and it's a great way to burn his neverending energy. :)

Marley is 4?! Seriously?!

All of a sudden, my little girl turned into a big girl. I'd appreciate it if someone would let me know how to slow down time? Thanks. Since Marley's cousin, Kate, has a birthday the day before Marley, we decided to do a combined party for the girls. We went to the park on a beautiful Saturday, and we played water balloon games and had princess cake. We love our Marley. She is so tough, yet so sweet. She can draw and color and doodle for hours, and is pretty good at it too! We love her English/Aussie accent that she has... Who knows where it came from, but I hope she keeps it. The girl is so strong willed, she will someday be a fantastic leader. She has big brown beautiful eyes, and long thick gorgeous hair. I'm envious of it quite often. We are so grateful that she is a part of our lives.

April Shower

March and April absolutely FLEW by. I completely missed my goal of a post a month. I'll try again. It's hard for me to sit down and try to re-cap the last few months because I honestly don't even remember what I did. I'm a mom, that's how it works, right?! I heard a quote and of course, can't remember who said it... "The days will be long, but the years will fly by." That's pretty much how I feel. Some days last FOREVER, others, speed by, but when I look at pictures of my kids I seriously want to cry because they are growing up SOOOO fast. Here's a few pictures to attempt a re-cap.

St Patrick's Day Rainbow!

They LOVED it.

Let the Easter Egg Hunt BEGIN! Halle caught on VERY quickly on what to do. We couldn't keep her away from the eggs. Little did she know there were things INSIDE of them. :)

We took a little fall trying to get an egg in a tree. As you can tell, MJ was a little scared that I was going to drop her.

Can't get enough of her scrunch face.

I tried so hard to get a good picture of all three of the rugrats... no dice. But, there are a couple cute pictures.

My Jello dessert for Easter! I love the colors.

Aunt Adria spoiled her with whipped cream.

She would smear it all over her face and then grunt for more. Hilarious.

Go Karts!!

Did I mention that Cash started T-Ball?! Seriously, one of the cutest things in the world. He feels so big, and he couldn't stop talking about how fun his game was. This kid might actually be good at it too, if he's anything like his dad!

Coach Ryan. :)

Marley learned how to swing by herself!!! Oh glorious day!! I don't know who is more excited, me or her.

If you look closely you can see the frisbee flying through the air. This kid can throw!!

I love those big brown eyes.

Italian Soda

We were having some Italian Soda from World Market with dinner and Halle INSISTED on having some. Here's the sequence of photos. :)

Cash Turned 5!!!

I can't believe I have a 5 year old boy! No joke, time is flying by. He starts Kindergarten this fall, and is already asking me, "how many days until my school, mom?". No way am I doing that yet. He is more boy every day and loves to tease his sisters, do front flips off of EVERYTHING, can do the monkey bars, ride his bike without training wheels (that's new this last week), and laughs at every "toot" joke he can make up. But, he still has to be read some books, and tucked in every night. I'll still have my snuggle bug a little longer. Cash is pretty obsessed with super heros lately, with his number 1 being Spiderman. He was so excited to have his party that it was great bribery for him for almost a month! I unfortunately didn't have an action figure to put on the cake like I had wanted, but honestly, he didn't care. We had a "Super hero" type theme, and kids were welcome to dress up if they wanted to. We made masks, played in the bounce house, played a balloon game and had cake and ice cream. Pretty simple, and he loved it!
