Happy 5th Birthday Matthew!

Happy 5th Birthday Matthew!  Blakely and Drew were so excited to go to Matthew's Birthday Party.  They couldn't wait.  Matthew had is birthday party at an indoor baseball place.  Of course, right up Matthew's aisle!  He was so excited and it was so cute.  They played games for about an hour and then they had food and presents.  It was a great party and now for a little while at least all three are 5 years old!

 

Back to HHI! YEAH!

For the February break we headed back to HHI to see Mom and Dad.  We were so excited.  A week with no plans was wonderful.  We slept in, we ate, we shopped, we played on the beach, we road bikes and scooters, we watched TV, went to the children's museum and we just overall had an AWESOME time.  Thank you Mom and Dad!!!
 

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day since we went to the circus we really didn't get the kids much.  Actually I just have them a few things we had bought on clearance after Valentine's Day last year.  They don't know and they loved it all the same.  We met Quinn a few days before Valentine's and she gave the kids the crazy straws.  They LOVED them.  I think they must have drank at least a gallon of water playing with those straws.  It is amazing somebody didn't have an accident in the night! ha ha  I totally forgot to take a picture of their school valentine's this year.  Oh well - Blakely gave notepads and pencils to the girls with a note that said "You are write for me!"  She gave the boys Bonka Zonks that said "You make me go Bonka Zonk!"  Drew gave the girls Lego Jewelry and he gave the boys Lego Cars - his said "You are friend I don't want to ever LEGO of!"

It was a great day!
 

Circus Time

For Valentine's we decided to take the kiddos to the circus.  We had a great time.  In the end we ended up going with the Kinney's, our neighbors.  The kids really enjoyed that.  We got discount tickets through Zaxby's so the tickets were really cheap.  As you can see Drew was all into the show. 
 

New Shoes!

Thank you Grandma for my new shoes!  Grandma ordered Blakely the most adorable shoes online and they came today.  Blakely is loving them and she can't wait to wear them to school.  They are sooo cute!
 

All Dressed Up...

Our church put on a Mother-Daughter Tea for Valentine's and it was SO cute!  They asked that all the girls come dressed in their princess dress up clothes.  Of course Blakely LOVED that.  She went downstairs and got herself all dolled up.  She looked so cute and was so proud of herself.  At the tea they had little stations set up like finger nail painting, make a crown, make a necklace, color a picture, etc..  After working on the little stations for a while and having snack we watched a VeggieTales Movie complete with popcorn.  Blakely loved this little event.  Thank you so much Judy and Katie Derringer for all your hard work. 

 

Little Miss Snow Queen

Little Miss Maya has started competing in a few pageants recently.  She looks so cute.  I met Quinn early and did Maya's hair.  I wasn't sure how that was going to go but she did well.  She sat really still and in the end she looked soooo cute!  She also won so that made the event even more special.  Way to go Miss Maya!
