Spring is in the air!

On Friday we took advantage of the pretty weather & met up with some friends at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. It was the perfect day to be out there! The kids enjoyed seeing their friends. Here they are with their little buddies Elijiah and Kayden...




We walked through the butterfly exhibit...


And just enjoyed looking at all of the flowers blooming!

St. Patrick's Day Playdate!

Today we had our playgroup friends over for a St.Patrick's Day Party. It was so much fun! Everyone wore green & enjoyed lots of green snacks!

The girls played in Sarah's room, then had fun doing a rainbow art project.
(And eating lots of the Fruit Loops while they worked!)

The boys played & played! (pirates, battles, Star Wars, outside, a litle of everything!)
Later they relaxed & watched a movie together.
We borrowed this funny leprechaun decoration from our friend Mrs.Pat. The kids all had fun with him, they named him Patrick.
What is going on with Sarah posing for pictures now? Crazy girl! And I don't know why Sammy crossed his eyes when I took this picture! Silly kiddos! We had such a fun day!
Happy St.Patrick's Day!!

Soccer Boy!

My little man is playing soccer this year! Isn't he just the cutest little soccer player you ever saw? I just don't think it gets much cuter!
My cutie nephew Sammy is playing too. Jenn & I are very excited about being soccer moms together. We spent many hours of our lives growing up, watching my brother play soccer! So, we feel very quailified for this soccer mom/cheerleader job! :)

Here's my guy in action! Notice only one kid has a grey shirt? That's because the other team didn't actually show up for the game! Isn't that crazy! There were only two kids from their team! So, our coach decided since we needed the practice, they just took turns being on the other team. They were all fine with that! Jacob's dad told Adam that the other team heard he was playing & they were scared. So now that's what he tells everyone! :)
He kept running over to us to tell us how he was doing, and taking lots of water breaks, right in the middle of the game!

Lots of our family came out to cheer for Adam! He had quite a fan club! Notice his cute little cheerleader sister posing for the picture! :) We had such a fun day!

Pizza & Movie Night

We've been having pizza & movie night on Fridays. This week we made our own pizzas on pita bread. We watched Alice in Wonderland- the old one, from the 80's! I remember watching it as a kid. I had forgotten how long it was though! My kids loved it!

Conversations with Adam

My little man is getting so independent. He told me that baths are for babies so now he takes showers like daddy. He washes his own hair & body, dries off, gets himself dressed. He's getting too big! Tonight he prayed at dinner. He said he loved God so much it was like a bird flying around in his heart! Sweet boy. I'm a little freaked out though because when I was tucking him in bed he told me that the Lord was calling me to His home! I hope it's not time for that quite yet!! Oh, I love that boy!

Our Fun Weekend

This weekend was so much fun I didn't want it to end!

In addition to our usual entertainment...
We also got to have lunch with my college roomate, another college friend & all of our husbands.
It was so much fun catching up with them. I'm sorry we didn't get any pictures this time!
That night we had a fun family outing~
Sesame Street Live!!

A treat from Sonic...
And lots of time with Daddy! I guess all the fun wore him out!

Just checking in

We haven't had much going on since the excitement of our snow days! We had a nice Valentine's day. Jake & I went out to eat and to see the movie Valentine's Day. It was pretty cute! We've been trading baby-sitting with Jenn & Cody. The kids love playing together & it saves money not to have to pay a baby-sitter. So, that has been working out really well!

Sarah has been making up little songs lately. I love to see what their little minds come up with! She sings about whatever she sees, sometimes she plays the guitar too. Some of her lyrics have been "My daddy, be home later, that door, that toy, I love this elbow, I love to clean it, I love to pat it." It's pretty funny! Sometimes at night we hear her making up songs in her bed while she's falling asleep. She's so funny! Yesterday she was singing & dancing in front of the mirror wearing nothing but a pink tutu! It makes me a little sad that she's learning to say "ballerina" the right way. For so long it's been "rina" everything!

Adam seems to be getting so grown up! He's eating like a teenage boy! He's always hungry and he will eat all of his meal & usually half of Sarah's! (she's in that picky toddler stage so it's actually working out pretty well with not wasting food!) He's really into letter sounds right now. He's always pointing out words on signs & noticing what letters make up words. It's so neat to me to see these little developmental stages as they learn!

I guess that's all of our news for now! Have a wonderful week!
