March fun & Trike A Thon

The kids love playing in the backyard, especially with the truck. They pretend to work on it, wash it & drive it all around the yard.

Relaxing after working hard :)

Olivia is my little bug catcher, she's not afraid of anything!

Notice the work station in the corner with the chair & bucket :)

Olivia playing in the sandbox at a community event for children 

So glad I was able to capture this picture of the two of them together :)

I was doing some printing at Staples and looked over & saw Olivia sitting in the chair looking at a book. So cute!

Enjoying a birthday dinner for Grandy including her favorite homemade chocolate cake

One of our favorite St. Paul's events is their annual Trike-A-Thon where the students get to bring their bikes & ride around little course. They have a police officer there talking about bike safety & all the children get a medal after the event. So much fun for the kids!

Cameron's class lined up & ready to go!

They made an "off-road" course for the more experienced riders

Enjoying their juice boxes :)

Youth Fair week

Our local Youth Fair is held the last week of February every year & it's always one of my favorite events. I love taking the kids to see all the animals & show them something that I was involved in as a child. It was fun to hear the kids ask when & if they could show an animal. Olivia kept saying she wanted to "show up" a bunny, lol! I think we went to the fair 6 out of the 7 days that it was held. They have a small petting zoo area & Olivia spent the majority of our trips in that area petting the miniature cattle.

Olivia loved being in the pen with the miniature cows

They had a fun "hands on" area with farm activities from the olden days

Cameron & Olivia loved washing & drying the clothes :)
