Happy Easter

Easter was a fun and busy day this year! We started off the day with church and then an Easter egg hunt with cousins Maycie and Roah. Later, lots more family members arrived and we had another Easter egg hunt with cousin Frankie.

Happy 3rd Birthday Sydney!

Our little girl turned three years old on March 16th. She had a Tinker Bell party, which is all she could talk about for weeks before and for weeks after the party. Sydney sat in her Tinker Bell chair to open presents. She just sat there and waited for us to bring the presents to her. We got her a kitchen for her birthday. It was a hit with all the kids.


This is Sydney trying to hold her leg up like Tinker Bell when she flies around.

Sam ate cake until he was about to pop!

We had a Tinker Bell pinata, too.

First Haircuts

Sam had his very first haircut on March 13th. (I did trim around his ears once, but that doesn't count.) He was quite squirmy in the chair, but a lollipop helped quite a bit. He wasn't a big fan of the whole experience, but his hair sure did look better when he was done.I trim Sydney's hair once in a while, but she asked, "Mommy, can my get my hair cut at a hair cut store like my friends do?" So, she got her hair cut, too. She sat perfectly still and was very serious. Sydney dressed up for the occasion, insisting on wearing a dress, tights and her black shoes. After her haircut, she twirled around and said, "My a princess now!"

Fun! Fun! Fun!

We got a swing set and a bounce house the beginning of March. The kids have a blast playing on their new equipment!

Sunglasses!

Sydney and Sam got new sunglasses. They wear them all the time, even inside the house.

Sam is 18 months old today!

It's hard to believe that our baby boy is 1 1/2 years old.

Sam loves to play at the park...

and to play at home...
and finally goes to sleep once he's exhausted himself!

Disney on Ice

We went to see Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes last week. Sydney loved every minute of it! She was dancing and waving and clapping and jumping... Her favorite part of the whole show was having Tinkerbell come out between each performance. Sydney REALLY likes Tinkerbell.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Every morning, our curly-haired kids wake up with a serious 'fro. Today was no exception! Although, I think Sam wins the 'fro contest today...

Sam loves baths

To say that Sam loves baths would be an understatement. If I mention the word "bath," Sam runs to the bathroom, tears back the shower curtain and yells, "baaa, baaa!" while jumping up and down. He holds his hands under the water while the tub is filling up, with this huge grin on his face. Today, the bath tub was still filling with water when Sam decided that he just couldn't wait anymore. He climbed in head first, flopping onto his belly like a fish. He then jumped up and clapped his hands, yelling "yeah!" The only problem, as you can see, is that he still had his pajamas on!

Having lots of fun!

Sydney and Sam play together all day. They have lots and lots of fun, especially when they wrestle!
