The kids & wheels

Check out Caleb. It has not even been a week since we took off his training wheels. As he says, “Mommy, I’m so proud” and mommy and daddy are too. Is that cute or what?

Madeline also has a new scooter that she can ride around. We discovered at the park one day how much she loves scooters.

Caleb's Spring Program

Caleb had his Spring program last night. Winnie The Pooh showed up at the end and greeted all the kids. Maddie was also really excited, grabed her bear and ran for the stage to show Pooh. Caleb did great and you could totally hear his voice over the other kids.


I have to brag a little and say that once Caleb found us in the audience he told everyone that his “mommy” was here. It was really cute and very special.

Eric was really excited about this song and said that Grandmama would really like it.

You can hear Caleb loud and clear in the song below.

Caleb --- the star!

Caleb's 4th birthday

Caleb wanted a "fast car" birthday. As his birthday apporached he wanted Monster Trucks so we did a little of both.

I took the kids for a walk yesterday and Caleb asked me a million time plus everyone he walked passed if we could take his training wheels off. When we got home that is what I did. He did so good and lasted 5 seconds. Both Eric and I thought he could go longer but he has taken up skidding. Once he gets going he enjoys skidding. Anyways, it was a lot of fun. He has been asking all day if he can go ride his 2 wheel bike. He's so eager.

Madeline's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Maddie's birthday on her birthday. We had cupcakes and she opened one gift.
Below are pictures taken from her party.

Madeline not sure what to think of her cake. Eric set the cake plate on her fingers. Opps. She recovered fast.

Making Elmo bags. All the kids glued eyes, a nose and a mouth on the bag. Eric is helping Maddie in the picture.

Easter

This is when they discovered that the Easter bunny had come.


Caleb is standing at our garden. As you can see we have wall-of-waters up already with a tomatoe plant growing in each. We can't wait to have our tomatoes back this year. At the bottom you can see the start to the cage that Eric making for our strawberry plants to go into.

All of us enjoyed eating the eggs that we had just dyed. Yum!!!


We had a busy, eventful Easter. We ran off to church in the am and a couple of friends came with us. When we returned home we decided to have the Easter egg hunt. The kids of course enjoyed every minute of it. We also dyed eggs which they loved. I’m going to try to pick up more egg dye at the store and do it again with them. After dying them we decided that our tummy’s were hungry so we need to them enjoy them. It was a lot of fun for all of us. After all of our fun we raced over to a really good friend’s house and had Easter dinner with a group of friends. We had such a great time. After leaving we discover that we were there for 6 great hours but then needed to get the kids feed again and put them to bed. It was a great eventful day.
