Thinking Cap

 Someone found Rebecca's Dora Underpants!

We think he wore them to help improve his gaming powers! 

At least they came from her clean laundry pile! Too cute for words and a little bit of blackmail for his future endeavors!

Derby Racing!

 This was Matthew's first year of the Pinewood Derby races!

He was so excited! 

 His car was fast, but not fast enough this round! 

His red car won this heat!

Matthew lets everyone know that his favorite color is red!  

 The Cubmaster interviewing Matthew after the race!

Such goofballs! 

It was fun watching all the boys so intense with the racing going on!

Katie entertaining Jake during the race!

Go Matthew! Go!

Overall, I think the boys had a great time racing their derby cars today! 

Who Needs a Horse?

 This girl is so much fun to watch!

She stole my empty laundry basket, flipped it over, put a saddle on and rode her bucking bronco!

Yee-haw!!!

Red Robin Sleeper

Sam and I took the family to Red Robin for dinner. We knew we were a little bit late eating our meal at 7:30 pm.  What surprised us was that once Matthew finished his mac and cheese meal, instead of roaming around and hitting up the arcade, he tipped over and fell asleep right beside me - laying on my purse as a pillow.  He was wiped!  So sweet to watch him so peaceful in slumber!  Too bad he missed a super yummy dessert that night!

It's About Time!

So after years of asking Katie whether or not she wanted to get her ears pierced and her response always being a dramatic, "I don't do needles Mom! Are you crazy?" she finally took the plunge!

 We headed straight to Claire's after school and she put on a brave face while both ears were pierced at the exact same time! The girls there were great showing support and encouraging her!

 Wow! She really did it!

 My young lady is definitely growing up and I'm so proud of her!

Sink Discoveries

This sweet boy is learning and discovering new things everyday! 

 With encouragement from his big sister, Jacob is having a blast in the kitchen sink!

 I had to post so many pictures because I love watching his facial expressions with each new watery moment!

 Too cute!

 Now he is sitting on the edge with his feet getting wet and rinsing the soap bottle

My favorite moment caught here!

Disney's Frozen on Ice

 The Robertson's invited Bex and I to see Frozen on Ice to celebrate their daughter's birthday and I gave Rebecca her tickets the day before we were heading into Houston!

 Rebecca and Kalea did preschool together and were instant friends!

 Bex is so happy Kalea invited her to the show! These girls were in heaven with their box seats!

 There's Sven!

A bunch of extremely happy girls! Lizzy, Kayla, Hannah, Keona, Bex, Claire, Caroline, Kalea and Brooke  

During the "Let it Go" song, the entire audience of girls were singing their hearts out! So fun to see and hear! 

Jacob got to cruise around our reserved box seat section! He liked stealing everyone's food - or better yet - everyone loved sharing their goodies with him!

 Bex loved the big ice monster!

 After touring around our seats, climbing up and down the stairs, walking across all the seats while the girls stood at the ledge, Jacob finally crashed for his afternoon nap!

 The snow was beautiful!

 This girl loved her mommy time today and felt so extra special to be able to see her favorite - Elsa - perform in Frozen on Ice! This girl was beaming all day!

Here we can see another favorite, Olaf! 

The whole gang dancing from Cinderella to Mickey and Woody, Elsa and Anna, Prince Eric and more! 

 Group picture with Jacob still sleeping! Such an incredible experience!

 We are talking box seats where this room was decked out with decorations, had a buffet with hot dogs, sandwich's, juice, cookies, and treat bags for everyone. We had our own private bathroom and balcony seats right behind us! All the proud moms: Brittany Filetti, Mindy McLane, Kristen Zamora, Natalie Clark, me, and Edrea.

Thank you so much Lyle and Edrea for sharing this perfect day with us!!! 

I Got Daddy's Nose!

 Rebecca loves to steal her daddy's nose!

 And daddy steals hers away too!

They are very entertaining to watch when they are goofing off!

And our favorite part is the cuddles at the end! Such a sweet girl with her papa!

The Hunt

 We were lucky to have an awesome family with a fun backyard for the kids to enjoy their Easter egg hunting! We brought yummy strawberry pizza over to Melissa and Byron Beaird's house for dessert and were able to hang out all afternoon in their beautiful home!

Here Byron is helping Jacob find an egg! He doesn't have any younger siblings so it was so sweet to watch how careful he was with Jacob!

Rebecca claimed the Batgirl mask 

Cute 

 Jacob had fun finding eggs this year!

 These two filled up their baskets pretty full!

 Batgirl found an egg on the swing!

 My sweet boy

 Just love him and his chubs!

Success!  

 After the younger kids got to hunt for awhile uninterrupted, the older kids got to join!

Katie and Matthew searching high on the swing set

Byron was very good to share his backyard with us since we are currently living in an apartment. He and Matthew are pretty good buddies and we really enjoyed their company! Time to hide the eggs again!
