Spring Fun with GG

The weather has been so nice lately, and the kids have been enjoying it with GG while Julia and I are at school.




Here she was helping GG make ears for bunny cupcakes.


Better taste it first!


The finished product...hoppy hoppy cupcakes and carrot ones too!


Thumbs up! As long as he's got Mee Mee, everything's ok :)


Puzzle champ


Fun at the library




Grandad arrives soon, and he and GG will be keeping the kids for a few days.  I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm flying to Amsterdam, a place I've never been, and spending four days there.  I'm so excited!!! My first solo travel experience!

Happy 9th Birthday, Julia!

After much debate, the theme for Julia's 9th birthday is a Spa Party.  I hired a woman with a spa party service to do facials, nails, and makeup with the girls.  GG made a cool cake, and I provided pizza, decorations and other snacks.  A good time was had by all!
Let's get started!


Mmmm...oatmeal facials...


Victoria Medina...she and Julia have been friends since we moved here!


Katherine Carpenter, our neighbor


Scrub, scrub, scrub...Victoria and Julia's classmate Maddie



























This party was too dang girly for my boy!














GG got some great pictures for us! I love the girls in this one, and I love that you can see Aiden, Lexie, and I in the background. Thank you, GG!


Sweet Birthday Girl!


Julia wanted to serve some of her favorite rock candy from our last trip to Prague!


This is the awesome sleepover cake that GG made! Everyone loved it!


Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet girl, Julia! Can't believe you're 9 years old!!!

March Madness

Well, Mamaw's time has come and gone.  She's headed back to the States and now we have GG here with us! We'll miss Mamaw and appreciated all the help she gave us and how much fun we had!

Now GG's here and that means lots of fun in the kitchen! First up was Easter cookies!










Then they made this AWECOME Easter Bunny Cake that Lexie wanted to make...she calls bunnies "hoppy-hoppies" so she wanted to make a Hoppy Hoppy cake!




These were taken on a fun afternoon spent at Megaplay!

Next Round

...of Kid Funnies!

Lexie wanted some of Julia's "alligator"...took me a few minutes to figure out she was talking about Gatorade!

Aiden lost his first tooth today! It was one on the bottom.  He called my name and was making this weird motion with his tongue and mouth...I thought he had a hair in his mouth.  Upon further inspection, I realized one of his bottom teeth was VERY loose.  Like about to fall out.  He's 4!!! Julia didn't lose her first one until she was almost 7! Wow!  
Well either way, Mamaw wiggled it and it came right out! Aiden's a little nervous about the Tooth Fairy's visit though.  He's right here in bed next to me, with the tooth safely under Daddy's pillow. 
Lexie's shown great interest in this...she's terrified and says she doesn't like the Tooth Fairy and wants to keep ALL of her teeth! :)

Pressath Fasching Parade & other events

This year we took Mamaw to the Fasching parade in Pressath.  We had a great time! We also ran into our new neighbors, the Carpenters, while we were there!






Here we are with the Carpenter family!




This was for Wacky Hair Day at Netzaberg Elementary School...Lexie wanted to do Wacky Hair too!
