Spring Time Fun

We have been bad at posting lately. We had a email from Katies mom and dad recently and they look at the blog regularly; so we will try and do a better job of posting pictures - sorry we have not been good. We will also try and post a picture of katie that you can see how much she has grown! She just finished second grade this year and worked very hard. She did well and is learning letters, numbers and many other things in school. In one picture taken about one month ago - Katie is flying a kite. She likes to fly kites.

Many faces of Katie

Katie has recently lost another tooth. This is a series of pictures taken before bedtime, just trying to get a photo of her new missing tooth. She has so many faces - many of them funny - just trying to get that 'one' photo.

March is for Birthdays

We start with David - aka Pepper. We celebrated David's sixth birthday with nana and poppa S. David opted for a yummy ice cream and strawberry cake and had his friend Sam D over for gift opening on Saturday morning.

Wedding

Katie, Emie and Annie love weddings - especially Annie. We were all in our wedding finery for the wedding of a friend of ours from North Dakota. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Tea Party

The girls enjoyed a tea party the other night. Kasie (our PCA) was here and she had them bathed and all ready for bed - about 5 pm; so the girls took out their tea party supplies and had a nice little supper using about 350 dishes! David got to join too.

Gingerbread Houses

An annual tradition at our house it to make gingerbread houses; this year also included the triplets next door and later in the afternoon another neighbor friend of Davids' so in all - I think a dozen houses were made. The photos are included below.

First Snow

Last year was somewhat disappointing for snow. We never really had enough to do much of anything. Especially not sledding. Well - the winter of 2012 - 2013 is off to a nice change. Saturday night - it started snowing, and this morning it was still snowing and this afternoon - it is still snowing. Probably a foot has come down already. For me, it means snowblower time, for the kids - it means sledding. Two years ago, when we did sledding with Katie, Emie and Annie - they needed constant supervision and help getting on the sled, up the slope and everything in the middle. What huge progress we have seen in the past two years. All of them are doing everything on their own, they love the outdoors, they love to sled and play in the snow. Katie especially loves to be outside, throwing snow, sliding on the hill and playing in the snow. Today we were about for about 1 hour - it was very fun. Here are a few pictures - Anne snuck inside before I had a chance to get a photo - but we'll get one sometime soon.
