St. Patty's Day!

Here are my little Irish babies! They were especially excited to go to preschool because their teachers had all kinds of special things planned for them on that day. They both had so much fun!

My Sweet Little Valentines!

Emmy still loves the camera. How cute is that pose?

Spencer really didn't want his picture taken today so I had to sneak this one while he was coloring. He wasn't feeling all that well but really toughed it out and had fun anyway. Emmy said to him "I don't know what I could do to make you feel better; I could just love you". So sweet!

Spencer got a new bike today; he picked it out himself. I got him a new helmet with flames on it because I knew he would think that was cool. Every time he draws a car or a rocket it always has "fire coming out of it". He does that because to him that means it's really fast. Emmy also got a new helmet and bell for her bike, which she picked out. Next weekend we will take her training wheels off; she is so ready and we should have done it sooner. I'll let you know how that goes. The kids rode for 90 minutes around our neighborhood this afternoon. Emmy said "It was a beautiful day" (68 degrees)! Yeah, summer is almost here!
The kids had some fun things to eat today, heart shaped pancakes and pink heart shaped mac and cheese noodles. They also got some fun Valentine's candy, stickers, coloring books, and stamps. Fun, fun, fun day!

Happy Birthday Erik!

Erik turned 33 years old last weekend. We celebrated his birthday on Super Bowl Sunday which is why I made him a football cake. It was very disappointing to see the Saints win but whatever; we still had a good day.

Spencer Started Preschool!

A few weeks ago Spencer started preschool. He goes to the same place Emmy does but he's in a class for 3 yr. olds. They both go 3 days a week for 3 hours each day. Sometimes they have recess at the same time and they always play together if they do. Emmy says that Spencer runs over to her and gives her a big hug when he sees her. He asked me to ask Emmy's teacher if he could be in her class! Spencer is doing great and likes that he is a "big boy" now. The other day their class was learning about China, and he came home and told me that in China they eat with "chapsticks". It was pretty funny. He was so serious too.

Emmy is doing awesome with her reading. She reads to us all the time. She could really just skip kindergarten and go straight to 1st grade.

I will post new pictures soon!

Valley Of Fire

We took the kids to Valley of Fire last weekend; they hiked about 1.5 miles! Spencer was all about exploring and going off the trial. Emmy was actually following him for the first time. It was a fun little trip and only about an hour drive from our house.

Emmy got her hair cut again, it was about 3 or 4 inches this time. Her bangs are now almost fully grown out.
