For activity days they had a fun daddy daughter date. The girls left the room while the dads decorated a cake. They girls had to come back in and guess what cake was their dads. Riley said she did not guess the correct cake, but they had a good time!

Why crawl when you can just hold me!!??

Yup, this is what happens when I try to get Ellie to crawl. This was taken today. She is 10 months and 5 days old. She could care less about trying to crawl. She will roll a little bit. I will just leave the room and let her have time on the floor like this. (she does not always cry)
I know all kids are different, but it's funny because Pyper was walking at 11 months old. I think it's great that my last baby is taking her time growing up.

A new Police Truck for Jon!

Preston was checking it out.

St. Patrick's Day

Some naughty leprechauns came and did some naughty things at our house again this year! Here is just a taste:
This was Preston's favorite thing they did.

One of the leprechauns went potty in the old basement bathroom downstairs! He even left his foot prints! It was nice that they left these chocolate gold coins every where. It took the kids the whole day to find them all.

This is my favorite leprechaun! (and the cutest too!)

March 17th: look who's 10 months old!

March 15th: Remembering a mom lost

Riley and Preston's mom passed away 6 years ago this day. Riley was 5 and Preston was 2 when she passed. To remember her, they each wrote her a note and tied it to a balloon and let them make there way to her. I try to make it as positive as I can.. but it's just really not fair that kids have to grow up with our their mom. It was a sad day, especially for little Riley.

Preston shared his letter with me. It says, "I love you so much. I hope you have a good birthday mom. I hope you get this message. I love you so much. I wish you could see me. Here's a crossword puzzle and a maze."

So Heidi could have a little fun Preston added two activities for her to do. The word find has the words; love, smile and kiss for her to find. What a sweet boy.

March 14th- Ellie

Scouting

Jon and I are the Wolf Scout Leaders. We only have Preston and one other boy at this time. We were passing off the flag requirements. Jon was teaching the boys how to fold the flag correctly.
