The Beach

On our way home we made a quick stop at the beach to walk in the sand....BAD IDEA for my kids, and Camille's as well. The water was only 57 degrees and the outside temp wasn't too much warmer so we thought we could just hang out on the beach. McKenna had a whole different idea, it was all we could do to keep her from running into the water. Navey also couldn't grasp the idea of staying dry, she got her shorts a little wet. And 2 of Cam's kids fell flat on their face running away from the waves. Making memories is all I can say!



Guess who fell in? :( Brett and Raef were running from the waves with all the other kids, but the tide was coming in and they got hit by a HUGE wave.

Navey's Easter Cake

Navey and her Nana made this fabulous easter cake. Navey decorated all by herself. It was to say the least "sweet"!

Easter Weekend 2009

This year for easter we got together with about 4 other families and had a easter egg hunt. We hid over 100 eggs, but because we had so many kids we had to limit their findings to only 15 eggs each. It makes you feel bad that they can't just hunt until all the eggs are gone, but it seemed to work out. Sunday morning the easter bunny found are little darlings "again" and brought them matching dresses and candy. With the weather being so gloomy and cold we thought an inside egg hunt was the best way to go. The girls had a fun time with just the two of them that morning. I believe McKenna had m&m's for breakfast and Navey had what ever she could get into her mouth before I could stop her. Overall we had a great Easter day.

Navey's 1st Race

These pictures aren't in order...dang it! Navey had her first 1k race last saturday. She has been asking to run with me for quite a while so this was perfect. She asked me to hold her hand the whole way which was good so I could PULL her along. A 1k is barely 1/4 of a mile if that, basically is't around the block. Anyway about 3 minutes into it Navey tells me she is tired and needs a rest, so I assume she wanted to walk. Before I knew it she had let go of my hand and was attempting to SIT down on the sidewalk. I chuckled and told her it was a race and we couldn't be last. She did so good, at the end she decided to let go and beat me to the finish line of course. She got her own medal, which she informed me was just plastic, but cool anyway, a water bottle and a fun bouncy ball. What a fun morning!

Happy St. Patricks Day

I woke up yesterday morning to a very excited 4 year old wondering if I had any "green" on. Yep, she got me with a great PINCH! McKenna woke up shortly after and Navey was quick to see that Kenna didn't have any green on either so she gave her a much softer pinch. You can imagine how the day went from there. I try to make these simple holidays memorable so for breakfast we had green icing for our toaster strudles and green milk.

If you look close we had to slip a green hair elastic around Kenna's wrist to avoid her getting pinched more than once.

Then for their bath I put in green food coloring. McKenna loved it, this was the first time she has had a colored bath.

Navey invited her darling friend Annabelle over to decorate cookies. They had such a great time playing in the flour, rolling out the dough, and then frosting their assortment of rainbow colored cookies. What a day!

FYI

This particular post is for my darling cousin Katie, which if they would invite me on their blog I would be able to leave comments instead of posting. Hum something to think about??? Anyway, lately when I post it shows that I am doing it an hour earlier for some reason I know not, but to set the record straight the last two posts were 6 am not 5 am. I do have to run in the wee hours of the early, early, morning before Silas works, so when I get back it seems to be the BEST time to blog.....basically the little darlings are still asleep. And that is that!

Silly Girl.....

Silly Girl, McKenna found the pitcher cupboard a while ago, and has now been exploring her options of just what a pitcher can do.....lately she decided it looks absolutely fabulous on her head.
