Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday Thomas fan!

Looks great, when can I have the train?

Now what?

Finally, they gave me the train.

Too.  Tired. To. Play. Trains. Must. Watch. Train.

Night-Night.

Spring Break

 Adley is the helpful big sister while waiting for Toddler Story Time at the library.  Adley was off school this week but Cana went to school so this was a rare play time for these two alone. 

 Cana in school this week and spring break next week.  She's not going to let the cold weather keep her from wearing this sleeveless dress from Grammy and Paka.  I think she wore it 4 out of the last 5 days!

 Tuesday of Spring Break.  And this nap was voluntary.  Awesome!

 

On Saturday, Adley and Cana were invited to a bowling birthday party.  They had a lot of fun and were fun to watch.  Their only break was for balloon animal horses. 

 

 

 Last day of Spring Break and its finally warm enough to play outside.  Simeon loves to hit the ball around although we need to find him a new bat.

 We have two new scooters so the girls can still race around even if the bikes aren't ready for summer yet.

We started spring break with freezing cold and Adley's school musical on Friday night. Then a trip to the mall for a carousel ride and build-a-bears. When Cana went to school Adley and Simeon enjoyed the library.  We also celebrated Simeon's birthday with presents and cake. The bowling birthday party and a baby shower for Cousin Amanda.  What a week!

Birthday Presents

Thank you GrandpAl and GrandMary for my new iPad.  I love pushing the buttons.

And I can't wait to get out in the water in my new swim trunks. 

My sisters told me this was a "train hat."

Is that right?

A battery operated Percy.  I never knew I wanted one of these.  Awesome!

A Thomas the Train set that folds up so I can take it EVERYWHERE I go!

Thank you Paka and Grammy

My first basketball hoop.  I love throwing the ball and now I have a target.  

Thank you Mommy and Daddy.

Build-A-Bear

Our first trip to Build-A-Bear. 

Adding the heart to their puppy and bear.

Post-stuffing "air" bath.

 

 All done.  Time to go home and play!

Thank you to the Kopp family for the Build-A-Bear gift cards.  We all had fun!
Adley chose the white bear and named her Fluffy
Cana chose a puppy and named her Lil' Puppy
Simeon found a huggable bear and we named him Thomas.
