Day 61/365

YW

Lili came down to hang out for the day and also so I could snap a few family photos for her. Unfortunately, as soon as we got to the park it started raining... and then about 10 minutes after that it started pouring. O'well... we got a few cute shots anyway!

Today we signed David up for Kindergarten! He was so excited to hand in his kindergarten packet and can't wait for next year when he gets to ride the bus like Ethan and Audrey do! Dang it... he's so cute!

Last night the Ethan and Dad made his rocket for Camp Casey next week. Ethan loved the way it turned out, especially their killer paint job. This morning he even agreed to let me take a picture of it. Double bonus.

Today the kids had dentists appointments, so I snapped this cute picture of David just chillin' in the chair watching TV with his headphones on. All three of my kids LOOOOVE going to the dentist. It's like a special treat for them. Strange. Maybe it's because I always make sure to schedule appointments when I can pull them out of school a few hours early as an added bonus. On a side note... check out this awesome pic taken by new new cell phone. Wowza. That rocks.

Today I had my first family photo shoot in quite some times. It felt weird and took me a while to get into the groove, but I really loved some of the pictures. Love adorable little Ava, who just turned one years old last week!

Today was Audrey's 3rd grade music concert. She was excited about it and spent a while with Audrey up in her bedroom deciding what to wear. After the concert, she and I went out to Red Robin, just the girls, to celebrate since the boys were still at Ethan's baseball practice.

What would David do without Isaac? Today these two spent hours upstairs playing with the "big" trucks. It's like they have different stations that they must play out every day. First the talking cars.... then downstairs to the hot wheels, then the "big" trucks, then the trampoline, then scooters. What must it be like to just be able to play all day every day? Don't you love their green shirts for St. Patrick's day!

It was quite the stormy day outside today... which is kind of fun sometimes, but it made it impossible for the boys to go out and ride their bikes and play on the trampoline. They didn't seem to mind hanging out playing David's new favorite Lego Harry Potter game though.

Today the girls made some flower headbands out of some extra craft supplies they found. After meaking a dozen or so they decided to go door to door and try to sell their creations. They made $8!

Today Ethan and Jason went on an overnight Scout campout so Audrey had a friend from school over for the day. They had fun on the trampoline (for hours), they roasted marshmellows over a candle, we all played a hilarious game of Would You Rather..., and then we went out for dinner. It was a fun relaxing day.

Tonight was Ethan's last basketball game. As you can see... the gang was really into the game. haha... This is a funny pic I snapped of the kiddos checking out some new funny apps that Jason downloaded.

First picture taken with my new phone... not too horrible especially considering we were indoors with low light. :)

I am SO excited! I finally got my new phone today. It is so awesome and I just can't stop playing with it. My favorite features... The Kindle Ap, The music ap that let's me link up to all my music at home, and the new camera/video camera that doesn't totally suck. Hooooray.

I didn't care if it was totally raining today, I just wanted to go outside and snap a picture of the new buds adorning all the trees on our street. Spring is coming!

Today I took a couple of headhsots for Melissa for a class that she's teaching and we snagged this cute one of her and Aubrey. Cute. Cute.

Today I went on Ethan's field trip to the Tacoma Musical Playhouse to see Seussical the Musical. It was really fun seeing some of our favorite Dr. Seuss books come to life and it's really kind of fun going on field trips with a bunch of fifth graders who are pretty much responsible to take of themselves and I'm not so hyper sensitive about losing one of them (my biggest field trip fear).

Another monkey day!... which means another lunch date with my favorite little dude. He gets so excited about our little lunches together with monkey. After lunch we ran a few errands and then went to the library to pick up some more books! It was a fun afternoon.

Ethan's basketball team has been doing awesome this year. After losing their first two games, they haven't lost one since. Tonight was another close one, but the team pulled off another win.

Today David had a field trip to a fire station. He loved every minute of it and was especially excited when we got to go out and see all the big fire trucks. He listened to everything the firemen were saying and always wanted to be right up front so that he could see everything!
