The kids got new pj's and had to show them off! Cadne is really into the Justice League these days and AJ is into the princess/Dora style. They are pretty comical these days, especially Ashlyn....often doing something silly for the camera...

Baylee loves baby dolls...she prefers to eat them at this point in time. Caden is enjoying soccer and making new friends

Dad's Birthday!

Dad turned 62 this year! We celebrated with dinner, a cake made by a dear friend, Bernie, a baker in Seattle and presents...the kids enjoyed helping him open them")

Trip to the Lake!

The kids fed the ducks, played on the toys and got crazy in the sand...even Baylee for the first time! She even ate it! Caden went in the lake with all his clothes on and was wet up to his shoulders....loved every minute of it:)

Baylee & Bananas

Baylee feeds herself for the first time!!!

Kids play snow day!

We wanted some fresh air but Washington was blowing some cold wind and the sun refused to shine that morning so we bundled up and pretended it was snowing! We got the tent out, got sleeping bags and had a "party" in the living room! The kids enjoyed it:)

Special Suprises

A little Mother's Day love from my sisters! There was also choco/peanut butter pie/cake, dove dark choco and sentimental cards not shown here...they didn't last long enough!

Only kids can pull of zebra stripes!

Is it spring?

Baylee now rides the rockin dog like the big sibs do! Caden and Ashlyn got to enjoy the outdoors blowing bubbles and helping Tara plant strawberries and blueberries in the yard! We also started an indoor herb garden..wahoo! We were planning on this planting deal awhile ago, but we made a start!

Some Firsts...

Walks outside are always good and Baylee loves her new seat up front!

Caden started pre-soccer and loved it, especially his new gear and new friends he's making as he gets to run around outside! Go Buddy!He said he gets to play soccer with mommy now!

Baylee is sitting and viewing the world in a new way! She loves sitting in the carseat and getting to come out of her seat during our daily errands. She loves to ride in the cart at the grocery store and in the stroller, but Costco was her favorite trip by far!

Nanny let the kids ride the carousel at Crossroads and B had her first ride and loved it so much that she didn't want to let go!

It only took 30-60 seconds of having my back turned for AJ to start feeding Baylee her dinner. Baylee opened up and AJ did get some food in there...B's face was colorful after a few bites:)
