Time Lapse

I'm feeling terribly guilty, so i'm going to try to catch up on a few things that have happened in the last 4 months. 

We've had a LOT of these:

Awesome birthday parties! 

 I don't know if it is because we have crossed the line between having kids, and having a LOT of kids, but my kids get invited to a birthday party almost once every month. (sometimes more.)

This one was a pretty incredible Pop Star party. 

My kids loved dressing up for it! The fashion show before the party was the best part! I only wish I had thought to take pictures because the outfits they tried on were pretty Rockin'!

We've had quite a bit of this:

Enjoying the wonderful weather outside. 

It's hard to not be outside when it is 70 degrees in January. The kids love being active outdoors. 

 We've done lots and lots of this!!!

I think we could go on a family bike ride every day and I still wouldn't be able to get enough of it. We LOVE bike rides!

One of these:

 Happy birthday to my little Phoenix! 

She's the cutest little three year old I know!!! (and quite possibly has the biggest personality too! -in a good way!)

  We'll never have enough of this:

Watching these two become best friends has been so much fun! I think it will break Phoenix's heart when Taysia has to start kindergarten.

But sadly, my little Taysia isn't so little anymore. so Kindergarten is inevitable.

We can get enough of this:

Cutest, happiest, sweetest little kid on the planet!

Seriously! ADORABLE!

And he LOVES his mama!

So in my eyes, he can do no wrong. . . (sort of.)

Doin' a little baby yoga at the beach.

And he is learning all kinds of new tricks. I'm sure walking is next on his list of things he wants to try. He's just a happy-go-lucky-kid.

Until he started teething. Let's just hope this doesn't misery last long. 

We had a fun Easter!

We didn't have Easter baskets for the kids so they collected them in their shirts. Haha!

Phoenix was so funny! she had to eat everything in the egg every time she would find one. Then, after the egg was empty she would put it in her shirt and go find another one. Good thing this wasn't a public egg hunt or she would have only had time to find one egg.

Egg horder! lol

I'm thinking we need to plant grass. (our rented lawn looks pretty pathetic.)

This girl cracks me up. 

The kids had fun coloring eggs.

And lucky for us, we only had one cup of dye spill... on our white linoleum. It could have been worse. 

It's crazy how much can happen in a year. Last year we decorated eggs at Nana and Papa's house and Phoenix was almost too little to do it. A year later and she's pretty much running the show. 

Our little Pre-Easter picnic. 

... with awesome friends. I love these girls (and Laura who was taking the picture) They have turned what could have been a miserable first year of dental school, into an unforgettably fun one. It has been incredibly hard, stressful, and challenging, but thanks to them we've almost made it through the first year!
