Happy Birthday SAFEChild

On Saturday, we went to a 15th Birthday Party for SAFEChild (Stop Abuse For Every Child). We had a blast jumping, playing and eating! Clowns made cool balloons... he couldn't keep his out of his mouth so the bear never made it to the car!
The cake was a hit for the boy!
She was ( and still is) very proud of her heart balloon.

Family Fun

On Saturday, we had our second anual Foster Family Spring Egg Hunt! It was wonderful... the rain even waited for the eggs to be found! They were so excited to see their big cousins and maybe get candy too?
We learned you can still play outside even in sprinkles. But daddy has to stay with the children if he ever opens the sand box in the sprinkles again!!!
Oh Boy did he understand what to do this year! He had trouble opening them... he wanted to eat each piece of candy as he opened the egg!
She did so well. She even helped her cousin Joshh (who was on crutches) get eggs in his basket! How sweet is she? We had a great day of fellowship with family!

Hair Clips

Look at our boy! He has always been jealous of her hair clips... especially on the days she puts in 25 or 30 of them. So today I let him put some in... shear joy followed!!
He was soooooooo excited but luckily he wanted them out quickly!
I was going to post pictures from our trip to Pullen Park last Friday until the hair clips took over. Here is on shot of them enjoying the 80 degree weather.

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!!!!!!!!!!
