Pool, Ladybugs, and Will~

EK invited some of her friends over after Bible School today.

They enjoyed a picnic lunch~

SJ constantly says, "I want to do my 'wimmin' lessons"

and ready to shed her swimmy.

Having the time of their lives~

Josh gave EK a ladybug land kit for Christmas

and we finally got around to ordering them.

They came in the mail today and everyone thought it was SO cool!

They came in a canister ~

They needed water~

EK said, "This is SO exciting!"

Careful observation~

AND a few new pics of Will...

doing puzzles at preschool~

playing in the sand~

and eating~

and eating~

and eating!

All in all, it was a wonderful day!!!

A BIG Day for 2 Littles

~ EK went to Bible School and LOVED it~

On Saturday, Scott jumped in the pool to cool off

and before we knew it, SJ had jumped right beside him

without her swimmy (she had no idea she didn't have it on).

I freaked just a smidge and Scott grabbed her right away.

I knew right then it was time she had lessons.

So today Amelia asked SJ if she wanted to do swimming lessons.

SJ said YES!

And just look what happened in the first 5 minutes~ not kidding!

She is natural fish!!!

Since way before the wedding,

EK has had about 5 loose teeth

and just in the last 2 weeks 2 permanent teeth have grown in

behind the two front bottom ones.

One was barely hanging on and Scott said it was time for it to come out.

He grabbed some floss and I my camera~

And you may remember,

EK is very afraid of the tooth fairy

(don't know why)

SO, our elf Hermie is coming to drop off the money...

not in the house but in her carseat in the car.

We have had this planned for a very long time.

Wonder what will be in that little pocket in the morning. :)

The Bravest 3 Year Old I Know!

While we were at the beach,

Amelia was able to help SJ start jumping from the side of the pool.

She LOVES going under and will say again about a million times.

Today she was out in the pool with Amelia

and guess what she began doing???

Jumping off the diving board!!!

Slow motion shots...

SO SO SO proud of our second little fish!!! :)

Easter Afternoon

After the kitchen was cleaned and

everyone off to their house,

we changed into swimsuits and headed to the pool.

The water is shocking cold but the littles act like it's nothing!!!

A&R completely satisfied to just lay out. :)

When Scott finally made it back home,

we took a ride in the boat and...

some of our crazy children took a swim! :)

THEN!

Amy and Max came over for egg dying and decorating!

SO fun!!!

The dying went great~

and I think Jingy decorated one...

but you know what their favorite part of the whole thing was???

Eating them!!!

2 each and Jingy had 2 for breakfast!

A big hit!!!

Thanks Amy and Max~ can't wait to do it again next Easter!!!

Poolside for Spring Break

Big Day!

Today was a Big Day for SJ~

On the way to church,

I asked her if she wanted to go to class with me

or class with Ms. Sheryl...

she said, "I want to go to class with my sister EllaKate".

She did and she stayed the whole time!!!

Had fun too! :)

I grabbed my camera when we got home

to record this amazing Big Day!!!

After lunch the bigs decided they were laying out

and guess who begged to go too???

Oh yes! the littles...

The water was SOOOOOO cold

but they played for over 2 hours!

Took pics of the bigs but none really turned out~

will try for more this week since they will ALL

be home for the whole week~ SPRING BREAK!!!

After a very exciting day,

it was time to unwind with one show before bed.

SO sweet!!!

The BEST feeling to have all the chicks in the nest tonight!!!
