Busy Busy Busy!

We have been very busy these last few weeks.

Gymnastics: Karlee is really doing well at her gymnastics. She is getting very good!! She has been practicing 2x a week for several hours but she will be switching to a new gym beginning Monday. It will be a better fit for us all around. She hopes to be able to compete in the fall. Kendall has been begging for gymnastics classes since Karlee started taking again. Mama Sandy gave her "lessons" for her birthday so they have been going once a week.

End of School! Kendall finished out her school year with a "See You Later Alligator" party. They had swamp snacks, played alligator tag and made alligator crafts. We had a great year at Friendship Preschool and she loved Ms. Suzanne and Ms. Christy. (She thinks she and her friends are going to camp in Ms. Suzanne's car but she will need to bring her own booster seat because Ms, Suzanne doesn't have one!) Karlee had Field Day last week. I still haven't figured out all the games that they played but I do know that she had a great time. She had her party yesterday and her daddy and I both got to go. They played games outside (including water balloon toss - her favorite), got tattoos and face painting, did the limbo and made ice cream sundaes. The twins have been busy playing and causing havoc around the house. They love to go outside and especially love playing in the water table. Hopefully the will love the pool as much. Speaking of the pool, we tried it out last weekend to make sure it was ready for opening day. The water was surprisingly warm and we are excited for the pool to open.

Kendall is 3!!

Our sweet Kendall is growing up. She turned 3 this past Saturday and we celebrated for several days. We started off the festivities with cupcakes at school. Kendall wanted PURPLE cupcakes, so PURPLE is what we made. Then on Friday, she invited a few friends to Chick-fil-a for lunch. They had a blast sitting by themselves at the big table, playing on the playground, eating cupcakes and opening gifts. She really enjoyed it. Saturday was her actual birthday and we started it off with blueberry muffins, bacon and orange juice (her choice!!). She spent the morning hanging out with her sisters, playing with her new toys from Friday and getting birthday phone calls from family and friends. On Sunday we had her family birthday party. All the family was here to celebrate with us - we enjoyed a quick supper of hot dogs and hamburgers, then a Backyardigans cake followed by many, many wonderful gifts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!!

Spring Break 2010 - Charleston

Ken's dad had knee surgery the during the beginning of Karlee's Spring Break so we decided to just go somewhere close for the end of the week and Ken picked Charleston. We had a blast! There were tons of things to do with kids - we didn't even have time to do them all. We did visit the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry . . .
after the museum we had a yummy snack at Cupcake - Red Velvet for Karlee, Chocolate for the twins, Vanilla for Kendall and Praline for me. YUMMY!!!!
We visited the South Carolina Aquarium . . . and rode out to the beach at Folly Island.
We had a great trip and I would definitely recommend it as a trip to take with the kiddos!


"Cows in the Kitchen"

Karlee has been waiting for several weeks for the Kindergarten Barn Dance. She has been practicing her songs, especially "Tom Farmer", so much that Kendall has learned them. The day finally arrived and I think that Kendall was just as excited as Karlee. We enjoyed the songs and especially the dancing. The kids were beside themselves when the parents had to dance. Then we got to have breakfast with Karlee and her classmates. Lots of fun!!

Kami's New Smile!

Kami fell yesterday and hit her mouth, chipping her tooth. We took her to the dentist but they can't do anything until she is at least two - so she will have a "new" smile for a while!
