Awana's Game Day

Saturday, Kailey participated (for the first time) in the Sparkie's Game Day. Different Awana Clubs gather (there were four different teams) and compete against each other in a variety of events. A lot of fun for everyone. Our Shepherd Team was joined up with the Lockwood Team.

Kailey had a lot of fun and Tana and Chase had lots of fun cheering on our Team!

Kailey is the caboose for this race.

Kailey is passing the balloon between her legs to give to Patrick.

As the result, our team took first place!! Yeah! (Kailey is on the bottom row, second one from the right.)

Chase's New Hair Cut

All of the kids were playing nicely downstairs, as I was upstairs. This occurrs often through-out the day. As I came to check on them, this afternoon, I discovered Chase's hair had been cut. And I was NOT a very happy mommy at that moment in time. Kailey right away admitted her guilt and Tana also contributed to the offense. (Kailey cut while Tana held him) So once mommy and daddy were together to further investigate, as to WHY this happened. Kailey said Chase's hair was in his eyes, so she decided to cut it.


Well, this is the result of Kailey's haircut:

And here is what mommy and daddy could do to fix it. Chase obviously does not mind all of the attention! AAHH, we just love parenthood!

Ready for Summer

The weather has been getting nicer for the girls; therefore, they have been going outside to play. Today, this is what they wanted to wear:

Even though it was 43 degrees out today, they did not last very long outside! But are really looking forward to the summer to wear these flip-flops again!

This is just the beginning!

Yes, our boy has been different than the girls, at this age. I do remember the girls getting into the usual cubboard to play with the pots and pans. Not only is Chase doing that, but he also gets out my mop and broom and sweeps my floors; he climbs up on EVERYTHING, chairs, tables, our wood stack, and even daddy's air compressor!! Plus he loves getting into things, cubboards, laundry basket, and toy boxes. These are just to name a few things he does. He really is just having lots of fun.

When the weather is nice out, he loves going outside and playing on the playset. He is able to go up the ladder and then slide down on the slide, all by himself. He is quite proud of himself and this accomplishment, that he goes running to do it again and again. I have to tell him that it is snack time to come in, otherwise he is not a happy boy! Gotta love him!!

Valentine's Party

Kailey's class had a party today for Valentine's. It was a lot of fun. Tana was really excited, cause she got to do everything with Kailey's class.

Tana loved doing this all by herself! How exciting!

Daddy was so happy that Kailey made cookies just for him.

Chase did a lot of running around and keeping mommy and daddy on our toes with all of the fun stuff in the class room. However, he was willing to stop and sit in his stroller for some snacks!

Time to relax

This is how the kids "share mommy". I LOVE IT!!
