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

Cameron, Olivia and my friends son, Timmy, petting a chicken

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

Cameron & Olivia loved washing & drying the clothes :)

February trip to Panama City Beach

Here are some photos from a trip I took to see my sister (who lives in Panama City Beach) in February. They had just moved into a gorgeous house they built just minutes from the beach. The kids spent the week riding bikes, swimming & taking a few trips to the beach. Heather & I enjoyed chatting together when the kids were in bed :)

Pool time! Cameron, Emmett & Jackson having fun

Olivia & Reid are so cute together. Typical 3yr olds, one minute they love each other & the next they are fighting over a toy, lol!

Picnic lunch & play time at the beach

The kids had fun chasing the seagulls who were trying to get our lunch :)

Olivia loves Davis & was so excited to see that he was walking. She followed him around & loved to hold his hand.

We celebrated Reid's 3rd birthday a few days early with cake & presents

KitKat and Valentines

In February we welcomed a new addition to our family, KitKat, a one year old Australian Labradoodle. KitKat and Mickey became fast friends & Mickey loves having a playmate. KitKat is such a sweet dog & we are enjoying having her in the family.

The kids had fun celebrating Valentines Day in their classrooms. 

Heart brownies I made for Cameron's class. They were a hit!
