Library/Park Visit

One of our favorite "nice weather" activities is visiting the Springdale library. Hannah loves to feed the ducks and geese... Daddy tries to be brave around all those big birds!

Little man loves to be outside... just like Sissy.

Super Man!

Here's our little super man... you can't really tell in this pic, but these jammies emphasize his super "gut"! He acted really silly after Daddy got him ready for bed... he was dancing around... showing off some of his steppin'!

Shortly after this, Hannah was brushing her teeth- she looks in the bathroom mirror and says (quite matter-of-factly), "My hair looks pretty good"... what a character.

Funny sayings...

So, last night Hannah and I were drawing... she wanted me to draw a sad face. I did, and she looked at the face and said "Well, bless your heart!"... of course, in her sweet Southern drawl it sounded too cute.

Tonight, we went out to eat. I forgot what I said or did, but she told me that "I can always count on you". I just don't know where she comes up with this stuff...

Caleb has started trying to hit us when he gets mad, and he bit my shoulder (hard!) today when I was trying to keep him on my laugh... feels like the fun times are starting!

Caleb- You are such a happy little thing...

I tried to capture those little dimples in his hands.... I will be so sad when those disappear! How time flies...

This is what you look like when I take something away that you want!

Here you are playing, "Where's Caleb?".

Daddy, giving some last minute instructions....

That looks like a happy face!

Hannah got a "big-girl" bike for her birthday. She was very excited to try it out....she did pretty good, except for the whole the-brakes-go-on-when-you-push-your-feet-back thing... but she'll get the hang of it!

4th Birthday Fun!

We celebrated Hannah's birthday with a princess party. Here's a brief run-down.... girls arrived dressed in princess attire, our special helpers helped with make-up and hair, we made jewelry boxes, ate special princess snacks (Mulan's melon salad, Pocahontas' popcorn, Snow White's apples, etc), and played Princess and the Pea. It was a lot of fun... the birthday girl herself just wanted to play in her room. She also did not appreciate everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to her- but I can understand that. That is kind of an awkward moment even for adults! I think she was just overwhelmed by it all.... I told everyone that next year I am just going to tell everyone to show up at Chuck E. Cheese and throw out some plates and pizza! :)

Caleb kept trying to put a tiara on his head, so we finally put one on for him...

Sweet Faces...
