We're Great at Bowling!

Macy and Nana get in a few cuddles at the party. Macy really did not have much time for anyone, she loved bowling, luckily they had bumpers in the gutters so the little kids could enjoy the party too.
Dawson poses with his cake that Nana made. She is so awesome at making special cakes for the kids. They are actually very appreciative and get really excited to see what she has done.

We got to have a fun night bowling for our cousin Dawson's 6th Birthday. Everyone had a blast, especially the boys. The loved the arcade games and candy machines. Everyone had a blast.

Maddie loves pre-school.

Everyone is dressed and all ready to leave for church, aren't they looking great.
Daddy has to work all day, so the kids and I stayed home and did fun stuff all day. We baked spring cookies, started some plants for our garden and hunted for Easter eggs. Grandpa and Grandma Gurtner came for the day and played with us. They got us to neatest Easter basket, it all kinds of garden stuff. We can't wait for Spring.
Since Dylan and Maddie were off school for Spring Break and dad was working we had a slumber party in mommy's bed. I was fun for everyone but mommy, and you would not go to sleep until Enchanted was over.

Nana's special Luau Tea Party.




Every year Nana has a tea party for the kids, however as Dylan and his cousin Dawson get older they become less sure about sipping tea. This year to make it more enjoyable for the boys she themed it as a luau. The kids got to wear their swimsuits and and play games centered around the beach. They even got to dig for treasure in the sand. They had to at least taste their tea, which Macy loved. We had such a fun and special day with our cousins, Grandma Con and Aunt Sue. We are so lucky to have such a fun Nana.

Celebrating with our family.


Maddie let her brother and sister help her blow out her candles. We had a party at Great-grandma Jean's. She got lots of cool presents. Her favorite gift was a little keyboard and microphone to make her own music. She loves it, unfortunately mom and dad are not quite as enthusiastic. She also got her own cheer leading uniform that says "Hornets" and a video that teachers her cheers.

Maddison is 5 years old




Maddie got to have her friends join her at CCC (Classic City Center) for a gymnastics birthday party. She had so much fun playing with her friends. That got to play in the big gym and use all of the equipment. We had some snacks and cake and the girls got to rule the day.

Dylan Turns 4



It is so hard to believe how quickly the kids grow up. My super sweet little man is 4 years old already. He had a blast at his skating party with all of his friends. Then we had a family party. He was sure that he needed to have a Lightening McQueen Car for both parties. Here he is celebrating with all of his friends. This is also the amazing cake his Nana made for him. Thanks Nana.
