Catch up...

Apparently it has been a while since I added new pictures. So I added a few new entries to cover the last few months so make sure you scroll down to see them all.

May

In May, the school has a Spring Fling BBQ and the kids perform. Here is CA with his class:


Here is IA, it is work getting her to go up there but she was brave and did it. They sang "Jesus Loves Me" in Japanese. She didn't actually sing once she was up there but at least she went!

And we even got one smile with the help of her friend (most of her friends at school are boys, kind of scary!)

And here is our newest addition, Zoe. How could we resist this face?

CA birthday

Birthday boy opening presents.

He really wanted a Yoda cake. This is what he ended up with. It was finished literally minutes before people starting showing up. Considering it was completely a last minute design, it turned out pretty good.

Eating said cake (it's always hard to see it cut up, especially so quickly after being finished!)


Just had to throw in a picture of the girls:

At the zoo:

Riding his new scooter, decked out in his new knee and elbow pads:

The girls had to join in on the fun:

Easter

Coloring eggs:

See that bowl in front of IA? It is holding our beta fish. Not the goldfish CA won at his school carnival - because that one died within 12 hours. The kids were devastated so then came the beta named ObiWon (I have no idea how to spell that, sorry Star Wars fans)

All dressed up and ready to go to church!

Except for IA who ended up getting sick. All dressed up and nowhere to go:-(

Hunting for eggs at Grandma's:

Still not feeling well but not wanting to miss out:

Remember that fish bowl on the table? Well, it became this. A 10 gallon tank that now holds the Beta, a cleaner fish, 2 little fishes (won't even try to spell that one, there were 3 and then the Beta ate one), and 2 frogs.

Hiking

We went on a real hike a few weeks ago. The kids did great considering we went at lunchtime and only had a few snacks. After we went to the kids favorite restaurant Red Robin and boy did they chow down.

It was nice though to be able to get outside with them and look at nature. They had a blast!

About to touch and see how cold the water was.

Figuring out where we need to go next.

And I had to throw this one in. This girl loves orange! She was super thrilled to pose for her outfit. Too bad you can't see her cute pigtails. Such a happy girl.

Legos

My girly girl I came running in to me the other day crying saying something went up her nose. When I looked up there, what did I see? A pink lego. Yes, you heard me, a pink lego was up her nose! Fortunately I was able to get it out without a trip to the doctor.

Her story is that she was taking something apart and it flew up her nose. She was lying down at the time so who knows. She is sticking with her story.

She was pretty freaked out so hopefully it won't ever happen again!

Way behind

We have had a busy 2010 so far. Here C did basketball camp. He improved greatly over the month and our neighbor gave us a really nice basketball hoop for outside and he and daddy have been playing. He is keeping track in his head how many baskets he has made. Over 70 at this point I believe.

We finally got I to try something! She did a creative movement class but saw all the kids in the gym doing gymnastics and decided she waned to try it.

Finally, we got to celebrate J's 3rd birthday. It was a rough week with I having a stomach bug but we were able to pull off a small party with a My Little Pony theme.

Birthday girl...
