Spring is Here!

We are enjoying being outside as the weather has warmed up. This shot shows why she is my SUNSHINE!
This was the morning before their preschool picture day... love all around!
Thursday was the Easter musical at preschool... daddy was so proud! Brother didn't participate on stage but sang along in his seat! That's how she knew where to find her family... he is loud and go so excited when he saw her come in! After having the bike since Christmas, she decided today to ride and did.... for one hour and 45 minutes! She said when she was 3, she was too scared! And yes, it was cold but she had dressed herself and said she was going fast enough that her legs didn't feel the cold! (Like the tutu over the shorts?) He did a good job of riding several things during this time!
OK so she did take a few "naps" during that long bike ride around (and around and around) the cul-de-sac!
We hope you are enjoying the spring as well!

Spring Festival

On Saturday, we went to a Spring Festival at our church. The children were so excited and the rain cooperated just right! He has seen pictures from last year and wanted so badly to ride a horse like his sister had. He did so well... look at the million dollar smile! And oh yeah, like the Carolina blue?!?
She waited in line about 30 minutes for the big slide... appears to have been worth every minute!

The inflatable "pool" was also a hit!
One more shot with both riding!

Bowl-A-Rama

On Sunday, we went bowling for the first time. SAFEChild had an event at the Western Lanes. It was a new experience for the children and lots of fun! These ramps were great!
Daddy gave good lessons too!
The boy got a medal for bravery... and a doctors visit on Monday. Can you see the smashed finger? Always an adventure!

When the girl comes first....

This is what the boy does!!!!!!!!!!

HOCKEY

For those of you that know me well... look my boy likes hockey!!! And of course most things are "giddy up-able" ... even a hockey stick!
She is pretty good too... notice she choose the pink stick.
Who does she get that pointing of the finger from anyway... I sure don't know :)!
A friendly "Good Game" hug warms the heart!

CIRCUS

On Saturday we had the opportunty to take the children to the Greatest Show on Earth!!! They had a blast... as did we! I have vivid memories going with my grandfather as a child. Like the view? It's from the Progress Energy box! That was the other cool thing... Daddy was a host for families that utilize the organization SAFEChild.
She especially was amazed by the "girls doing tricks". We'll she if she tries any new moves at gymnastics this week!
He watch every single minute of the show and loved it. He can sing the theme song for the feature clown Bello!
We took a break outside after the show... can you tell who had a ball and who was so tired she cried over not getting a stuffed tiger in a purse?

Piggy Tales and Sleepovers

This morning she informed me that she had waited "forever" for two pony tales... right! I beg her each week before gymnastics to do one! So today we did two... aren't they precious? While hanging out at home this morning the children created there own sleepover. No details were forgotten. They each had sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and favorite lovies!

Don't be fooled...NO sleeping occured... could that have been the fruit roll ups?
