I Can't Keep Up!!!

I haven't posted in a little over a week and it already seems like so much has happened...what pictures do I post?

Alexis loves to help unload the dishwasher. She does a great job stacking the plastic cups!!! She is so proud of herself.


Summer is just around the corner. Swim practice has begun again. RJ is old enough for swim team this year. He is so excited. After all this time driving his sister's to their practices it is finally his turn. As he was jumping out of the car to run into practice the other day he turned and said, "I LOVE SWIMMING". I am glad he is enjoying himself.

RJ getting a little help on his kick from Coach Vladi.

Brittnie trying to get a little homework done while RJ swims. Then she swims. Then we run home to finish up homework before we have to go take Kassy to her swim practice. Poor Lexi. I think she is getting sick of her car seat. Thank goodness for DVD's in the car. I don't know what I would do without it these days. Alexis spends an average of one and a half hours in the car every afternoon running her siblings somewhere. I figure she deserves a movie.

Brittnie waiting for the next set of instructions.

Kassy had to dress in costume and went to Riley's farm in Oak Glen for her 5th grade field trip. There they re-enacted the Revolutionary War. They ground flour, observed a period blacksmith at a waterwheel driven hammer mill and were taught the manual of arms by Revolutionary War soldiers. They were given beef jerky, cheese and bread for lunch. She had a really good time.



Donut Anyone?

We brought the kitchen home from Grandma's house. Lexi got some play food and a new tea set for her birthday. That is where you will find her every morning. Out making tea, eating a donut and doing the dishes. She was so excited to have her own "freezer" and "microwave". I love this age where their little imaginations are coming to life.



We had Good Friday off of school. Kassy and Brittnie have friends from swimming who are sisters. Kassy went and spent the night at there house and Hannah came over to spend the night at our's. We went for a bike ride up to Mile Square Park. It was a beautiful day.



They had to climb and jump off every rock around the little lake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS

Alexis had such a great time yesterday for her birthday. She woke up and saw her presents on top of the TV. As each of us came down the stairs at different times she took each one of us by the hand and said, "Come with me. Look all my presents. Look stinkerbell present(there was one wrapped in tinkerbell)." Her eyes were all lit up. She got to put her "pretty dress" on and go to church. She loves to get her church dresses on and look in the mirror to see how pretty she is. She took treats in to share in nursery. Then her grandma and papa, aunts, uncles, cousins and some family friends came for dinner to help her celebrate. She was so excited about the Elmo cake. She really enjoyed the frosting. Never ate the cake. Thanks to all for the birthday wishes and for all who were close enough to help us celebrate.

The Cute Things They Say....

Lexi was helping me make a potato casserole for dinner that had crushed corn flakes on top. She came back after a while to watch it cook. I asked her if the potatoes we made for dinner looked yummy. "Not dinner Mom. It's breakfast." Silly Mom....corn flakes are for breakfast.
