~A Snowy Spring~

There is nothing like enjoying the first week of spring with 10 inches of snow.  We definitely made the most of it though!

Grace gets stuck.

Great job Aylah.  You did a great job!

The driveway is officially clear!


~Water Park~

I thought it was definitely time for us to head someplace warm so we can pretend it's warm and sunny outside.  So, the indoor waterpark it was!  Friday we went to Lafayette to enjoy the afternoon swimming.  Then we finished day off with our windows down at Sonic! 
It took Grace a few hours before she finally warmed up to the water and started playing by herself.

Caleb stayed in his stroller and watched the girls play for awhile.

Aylah's favorite was the treasure chest dumping every 10 minutes or so.  I'm pretty sure she did this a few dozen times!

Caleb finally having fun and enjoying the water.

Grace sliding down.  She liked this just enough to slide a few times, but that was about it.


~Caleb is Sitting Up~

Caleb has been sitting up for a few weeks now.  He still topples over quite often, so I sat him up in front of the couch in case he fell backwards.  He loves to play with things that you sit in front of him or be entertained by watching his sisters play.


Caleb does not roll over yet, simply because he just absolutely does not want to be on his tummy.


~Pig Tails~

Grace's first pig tails.

~Who's Who~

Grace and Aylah dressing up, as always!  But wait, there's more....


Caleb get's to dress up too!


There are no words.

~Handy Aylah~

Aylah was in the mood to do some handy work around the house.  I sure am glad she works for free.

~Grammy's Birthday Cakes~

Grammy's first birthday cake.  The most delicious coconut cake ever!
There are only 3 of us in the family that like coconut, so this cake was all ours and it was so yummy!

The girls are getting ready to help Grammy blow out the candles.

The next night, Grammy was so surprised to find out she was having another birthday cake.  This time with 80 candles.

Of course the smoke alarm joined in as we sang Happy Birthday.
All 80 candles with wax running everywhere.

The girls removing all the candles.

Gracie is making sure her birthday hat stays on just right.
 
Grandma is loving on Caleb after we all had cake, without the wax.

~Snowy Fun~

Mike and Ean were so nice to take the kids outside for a lot of snowy fun.  I stayed outside just long enough to take some pictures, although it was a really nice sunshiney day!
Aylah getting ready to get slammed in to the snow.

Aylah threw a huge snow ball at daddy.

Oh no, Aylah had so much fun, she lost her pants...

...and her shoe.

Grace having a wonderful time.

Gabby thinking about who she's going to hit with this snowball.

Grace, I'm not sure what she is doing in this picture.

Grace is totally pumped.
