Turning 3...

Been WAAAAY too long since the last time I posted! I have no idea where the time has gone! We've accomplished so much since our last entry - here are a few highlights:

We celebrated EASTER!

Our basket filled with colored eggs - James' fingers were blue for DAYS - liked using them better than a spoon!

Morgan at our Easter Egg hunt in school - she was FAST... and had lots of eggs to prove it~!

Madison showing off her dress for the party! She is definitely our fashionista!!!



James had his eyes set on ONE special, yellow egg. Once he opened it, he was interested in the 2 chocolate pieces inside.  He never tried for more eggs, but his generous sisters made sure his basket wasn't empty :)

We also celebrated our 3rd birthday at Monkey Buziness!  Our actual birth DAY fell on Good Friday, so we waited until April 14th to party!  A day of inflatables wore us out... but we had plenty of time for cake and family!!!

James LOVED sliding down the big slides!!!

Morgan like jumping in the arms of Grams!!!  She definitely preferred to be held this day :)  ... and I don't think anyone was complaining :)

Madison blowing out her birthday candles --- bless her heart, she kept making the "fff" sound, so it took a while! She does get an A+ for effort!

Happy Birthday to US!

We also discovered more fun things to do around the house!

We discovered that Monster trucks are never seen on all 4 wheels - so why play with them in the same manner? They are usually found in large piles around the house -- unless Dad sets up a cool Monster truck track!

Dad created a new "waterfall" with PVC pipe... we love it! We catch the water and throw it down the slide, use it to water plants, or drench each other.

We enjoyed painting the driveway with cornstarch paint... and I was VERY glad that a good rain washes it away!



James discovered that the force of Gravity + spinning = one trip to the emergency room for stitches;

James trying to be VERY still for the nurse taking vitals - notice the bribery piled around the table.

Good thing he had on pants - love his little "man" look!



Curled up in bed, watching the Wonder Pets on Daddy's IPad, Monster trucks close at hand.



Shelby loves playing with the kids, but SHE takes advantage of naps, too!

We celebrated Father's Day with time outside--- and fresh sand in the sandbox! We discovered that cinnamon helps keep away the ants... and leaves the kids smelling like Cinnabon!

And my little Aggies are learning to pose more for the camera - you can almost hear the unspoken conversations - "the faster we do what she says, the more quickly she'll leave us alone!!!"

Nap time is almost over today -- not sure where the time has gone.  I guess that's true about the last 3 years... where HAS the time gone?  Hopefully I'll post more later - and it won't take as long!
