Sleeping Beauty

Kaylee was so precious...one day she was watching TV in her favorite chair, which happens to be Izzie's favorite chair, too, and they both fell asleep - very sweet!

My Cubs - Clayton and Nicholas

Nicholas is a Tiger cub in the Cub Scouts and got to help with color guard for our April meeting.

Me and another Mom are Den Leaders for the Bear Cubs that Clayton is in and we had a party for them celebrating our last den meeting together - next is the Blue and Gold Banquet where they cross over into the next level.

McDonald Easter Dinner and Egg Hunt

On the evening of Easter, we invited over some good friends to have Easter dinner and to let the kids hunt for eggs in the backyard. This year, my parents were in town, and we invited over the King's, the Fooshee's, and the Taylor's. We had a great time together and the kids found lots of eggs! Praise the Lord for wonderful friends we act as family while we are far from real family!

April 12, 2009. Clayton and Nicholas sang in the early service Easter morning to help celebrate our risen Lord. My parents got to be there to see them. The boys sang really well!

BMX Track Fun

The starting line...

might need a better helmet

April 11, 2009. Clayton was invited to a BMX birthday party at Oak Mountain State Park. This was really cool and Clayton loved it! He rode that track over and over. After an hour and a half, I had to force him off and he keeps asking when he can go back again. He also wants to have his birthday party there, so we'll see.

Our Growing Izzie

Nicholas is teaching her to be a baseball dog

Kaylee was so cute sitting in Izzie's bed with her

We finally decided on Izzie's full name...Izzie Anna Bones (just like Indiana Jones), very clever! She is growing so big. We took her to see the vet 3 weeks ago and she was 11 pounds, two weeks later, she was 16 pounds. The kids adore her and she loves her new home and thinks the backyard is the best thing ever! We just got the rest of the yard fenced in, so now she is able to stay out even longer. She is a precious little boxer!

Kaylee the Butterfly Fairy

April 8, 2009. Kaylee got all dressed up in her pink butterfly fairy stuff...fluffy tutu, glitter wings, magical wand, and head band. She was adorable. She fluttered all around the backyard waving that wand left and right.

Easter Party at the Hecker's House 4.7.09

The egg hunting crew

April 7. 2009. We were invited to an Easter party at the Hecker's house. There was pizza, an egg hunt, and egg coloring. What a fun time! This was also the first time my kids have ever colored hard boiled eggs - Yes, that is right! I have never bothered to mess with that.

Kaylee's Spring Soccer ~ April 5, 2009

Kaylee and her friend, Lauren. Kaylee is on the Blue Team again this season.

SCORE!!

Kaylee played her first Spring Sunday Soccer game today. It is very low key for their age...30 minutes of practice followed by a 30 minute game. Kaylee loves it and does awesome! She blows by most of the other boys and girls (thank you to her great personal coaches - Clayton and Nicholas). She scored several goals today. We are so very proud of her and just love watching her play.
