Camera Thief

I never know what I'm going to find when I upload pictures from my camera...but I always know who the culprit is!

Easter Photoshoot

Coloring Easter Eggs

Addalyn, Mace, Zander and Sterling dyed Easter eggs last weekend. They were so proud of their little works of art! Addy managed to crush 4 of them before she even started coloring them--she finally realized that they were pretty fragile. Glad we weren't using raw ones!

Macey Got Into Aunt Brookie's Lipstick!

Farewell 70's Hair Style!

Ms. Addalyn fights me almost every single day when it comes time to fix her hair. Even brushing it out has become a chore! She finally decided she wanted to cut it, but I kind of wanted it longer when she wears her pretty Easter dress...so we compromised. She wanted bangs, so bangs she got! She looks so adorable and now when she wears her hair parted down the middle and tucked behind her ears (her daily hairdo) she looks a little more put together. She's awful sassy with her new style and panicked after I washed her hair and she felt her forehead but felt no bangs. My silly, beautiful girl!

Babysitters Club

My boss and his wife asked me to babysit their 3 kiddos yesterday, so Addy, Macey and I headed over for a day long play date! The girls really enjoyed "helping" with the 2 younger boys, Ben and Will (or "Bill" as the girls came up with). They had 3 very doting mommies for the day! Even though Will looks less than thrilled in the group hug picture, he really did seem to enjoy the attention and the hugs. As I was uploading these pictures onto the computer earlier Mace said, "awwwww, Wheel! I love Wheel!" Overall, we had a fantastic day and I'm pretty sure now that the girls need a baby brother. (JUST KIDDING!)

NOT Loving The Backyard Today

That backyard that I was loving a few days ago now looks like this. I can't let the girls play out there without life jackets on! The area along the fence is actually pretty deep and stays that way for days and days. Darn swampy mess!

Loving The Backyard

I absolutely love our new backyard! It's the perfect size, with the perfect fence and I have a great view of the munchkins while I make dinner or clean the kitchen. Zander, Sterling and the girls had a game of soccer and then hide and go seek and did some exploring for bugs under the rocks.

Before The Spring Snow Storm

We took advantage of the gorgeous weather Thursday and Friday by being outside nonstop. Friday Joey and I took the girls to the zoo where we saw lots of animals and answered tons of questions. If you ask Macey about her trip to the zoo she will tell you "them elphants are stinky...icky". We did everything but ride the train which we will do next time for sure!

Macey tried taking a nap, but it didn't work

Sweet, sweet sisterly love!

Checking out the zebras and giraffes
We have a picture just like this from Addalyn's 2nd birthday

She's giving a 'thumbs up' but her shirt doubled as a glove once it got chilly :-)

Had to rent a stroller, wouldn't have made it past the sea lions without it!

Addalyn continually brushes up on her photography skills

Swimming in March

Friday night the munchkins and I joined the Cruce family at the North Kansas City Community Center for a swim session. Miss Addalyn took a while to warm up to the water, but by the end of the evening, she was like a little fish! Miss Macey loves the water and spent a solid hour "swimming" laps on the stairs. Her swimming technique is very similar to the once popular dance move "the worm". LeAnn and I like to pretend that she was doing some Olympic training. The only time she got out of pool was to do her little trick with the railing. I have several videos from this night, but I'll only post 3. :-) Landon is an awesome swimmer and even baby Kellen dipped his feet in the pool! And of course, as long as mommy has any say in it, every fun activity is always followed up with some ice cream. Baskin Robbins this time. We LOVE ice cream!
