Ponies and Bunnies

Jackson was invited to a cowboy themed birthday party last weekend, 

so we let our horse-obsessed cowgirl tag along with him!

The boys were more interested in chasing the poor bunnies.

 They were able to occasionally catch one.

 Yesterday, we got ready for the big bunny to drop by and dyed our Easter eggs!

 And this afternoon, we put those eggs to use!  Jackson was grabbing every egg he saw, while Katherine thought he only needed to grab the blue, brown, and green eggs.  She got a little upset when he started grabbing her pink and purple eggs.

 Upset again at Jackson grabbing "her" eggs!

It was well past her nap time.

 And we ended the day with a little egg batting practice!

Happy Easter!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHERINE!!!!

Our baby is FOUR!!

Katherine turns four today, and we celebrated with family

and some of her friends yesterday!

 More than ready to head to her party!

 Katherine really enjoyed having Emma here this weekend.

 A new big girl bike!

4 candles already on her cake.

 We thought about having ponies at her party, but we couldn't get all the details worked out, so we had it at a gymnastics place.  The kids love the foam pit and trampolines.  Good thing we didn't have ponies since it rained all afternoon.

Grandpa couldn't resist the temptation!

  Zach enjoyed himself just as much as the 4 year olds!

 Cake time!

Poor Jackson took a nasty tumble yesterday at the party

and now has a nice case of carpet burn on his face.

He's still cute with a few battle wounds!

 Katherine and I took it easy this morning and met Daddy at Chick-fil-a so she could play.

 And we broke out her bubbles she received!

4 little fingers. 

Happy Birthday to our beautiful girl!

Batter Up

Jackson had his 2nd t-ball game last night and he played GREAT!!

His first at bat.

 Even though he got out at 1st base, we're so happy he hit the ball!!  At his next at bat, he hit two foul balls, and then hit it off of the tee.  That time I think he understood more that he needed to hustle to get to base.  I don't have it on tape, but he ended up making it around the bases after his teammates also hit the ball and scoring a run.  From now on, I'll have to tape when it's his turn to bat.  He asked to see his 2nd hit and I didn't tape it.  Opps.

Zach has him playing 3rd base, and he stopped a hit and did great chasing the ball down at other times!  We were so happy afterwards, and so was Jackson!

Windy March

Can you tell there is a dance recital looming?!

Katherine has brought home a couple of outfits and it's so cute seeing her get excited over them and wanting to try them on.  She has enjoyed ballet and tap, but recently seems to really be taking to it and showing us the different things she's learning.

Jackson has been busy with soccer and t-ball lately.

 His last soccer game was Saturday and we're relieved.  The soccer schedule was a little crazy and unorganized, so he ended up missing half of the games for various reasons.

Even so, he was so excited over his medal he received!

 As soon as his soccer game finished, he made a quick change and headed over to the baseball fields for his team picture.  Following the picture, he had his first game.  Saturday was rushed.

Our 3rd baseman

Coach Daddy.  

Zach volunteered to be an assistant coach, 

but somehow found himself as the head coach.

Katherine discovered her new swimsuit on Sunday and insisted on wearing it in the bathtub since there's no pool to test it out in.

 Meanwhile, Jackson is king of goofiness around here.

I don't guess we mentioned that on top of work, school, soccer practices and games, t-ball practices and games, we made an offer on a house, put our house on the market, kept it clean with two rugrats for a whirlwind of showings, and it sold in 25 days.  Our closings are still a few weeks away, but now the packing begins.  Maybe we'll slow down this summer!

We Missed February

I think February started off on a slow note, but it ended with us being pretty busy.

Here are a few pictures from the past month.
