Spring Hats

Nana and I bought the twins new sunglasses and Cassidy got a new hat (girls accessories are so hard to resist!) Not one to be outdone by his sister Patrick went upstairs and promptly came down with his own version of a sun hat.

Week in Review

Last week was full of excitement. We went to Mima's on Monday, Bouncin' Bears on Tuesday, discovered the brown bears had woken up at the zoo on Wednesday, enjoyed stories and songs at the library on Thursday, and had a blast at H2oasis on Friday. It's a workout keeping up with these kids!

Too Cute

Happy 12th Birthday Payton!

Payton turned 12 today! We can't believe how fast he is growing up! It was strange to think that this is the last year he'll have cupcakes at school.........middle school here he comes. Pate had a band concert and looked so grown up and handsome in his suit!

Skating

Steve built a hockey rink in our backyard this fall. Payton and his friends have been having a ball all winter and every once in awhile the twins venture out to join in the excitement. Cassidy lasts for five minutes flat while Patrick will stay out as long as the older boys do. He is quite comical with his stick that matches Payton's.........he wants to be just like his brother.

Spring Break

We took advantage of Nana and Uncle Andrew not having school and went out to lunch with them!

We checked out Bounce with Keegan and Carson.

We stopped by Kindergym and despite the crowds Patrick managed to secure his favorite scooter.

And most importantly I fit Cassidy's hair into her first real ponytail!

First Sleepover

Patrick spent the night at his Mima's house Monday, his first sleepover. Payton was with him and he had a blast. I on the other hand was a nervous wreck.

I asked Patrick his favorite thing about his sleepover, his reply, "the cereal." I give the children organic cheerios for breakfast with the occasional banana, yogurt, or bagel and cream cheese thown in the mix. Mima introduced Patrick to Lucky Charms. What two year old wouldn't be excited?

"What did you do at Mima's?" I probed
"Ummm, we played games"
"We looked out the windows"
"We had snacks"
"I saw Uncle Jimmy"
"He plowed"
"I had two cookies"
"I played with my rubber ducky in the bathtub"
"I slept in Mima's big bed"

I'm sure this is the first of many sleepovers............the twins are growing up so fast!
